| Pass Aleph 30 and 60 Yes, "current source topology" is what the manual said, more power into lower impedence load than First watt Aleph J. That's one of the differences among the Aleph 3 and 30 versus the First Watt designs. Though none would be ideal with difficult ... | |
| Dynaudio Emit 10 vs. Evoke 10 I use them in a room just a little bigger than that and totally agree. Great little speaker. | |
| Dynaudio Emit 10 vs. Evoke 10 Presuming the OP made a choice by now, but others may be curious. Original Emit M10 versus Evoke 10. Main difference to me is the bass, Evoke has more and slightly deeper. Havent heard the Emit 10 (the Emit M 10’s replacement), but it is reputed ... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. Ha Ha, I remember the old poster size sheet printed with green ink that used to come with Rega turntables contained the following line "any dust that accumulates on the stylus can be easily blown off". I never went for ultra expensive cartridges, ... | |
| Bryston preamps Tubes are a whole other thing. But as far as a good quality solid state preamp, Bryston is'nt a bad choice. Particularly if you get a used one. I went looking for a relatively affordable self contained solid state (no outboard supply), single end... | |
| Grado Stylus Upgrade Grado doesn't go into a lot of details on the specs of their stylus tips. Ortofon specifies tip mass and also if it's nude or bonded. The Sonota 1 was nude elliptical, the current Sonota isn't. I also heard from KAB and vinylengine forum that the... | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences Whoever mentioned it I do think you might be better off plugging class D straight into wall with no filter/ conditioner. At least that was what I found as well.I dont know much about the technical or engineering arguments but when I listen to min... | |
| Subsonics with Grado & Rega Arm Would a phono stage with subsonic filter help?Grado dance and woofer pump when used on an old Thornes. I dont think Grados like suspension turntables. No dance on rega table but hum increases nearer to motor. I think Grado on Rega is very musical ... | |
| Used Bryston 3B-ST or Schiit Vidar? Bryston is known for the long warranty, but schitt is longer than some at 5 yrs. The limited experience I had with bryston power was just demos and also owning a b60 integrated years ago. Long story short, I liked it’s preamp section better than i... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? For all the high end qualifiers thrown its way, for me its a music lover amp. It is not ultimate high end amp. It runs hotter into 4 ohm, I currently use with 8 ohm. I also found it ran a little hotter with a passive versus active. Overall I prefe... | |
| Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet? I think they make pretty good stuff that gear heads can buy or try. As a company there's a certain anti-obsessive audiophile vibe, coupled with humor....reading the Faq sections to some of their products might give you a chuckle. Some of their des... | |
| Rega R3 I've always been a huge fan of British speakers- but it was not until a few years ago that I tried a Rega speaker. A lot of U.S. dealers only carry their cd players and TT's. In the RS line it is the 3 that is the most different from how the R lin... | |
| Review: Denon 301 MK II Cartridge Rupertin, coils can be more detailed and have a spacious sound stage. The Denon 304 was one of the most detailed cartridges I've heard. If price is no object most would say moving coil or moving iron designs are better than moving magnet designs. ... | |
| New Rega RP6 AFAIK, The TTPSU is the same as before other than a spiffier case. For right now the RP6 replaces the P5 only, the 7 will not be dropped from the line until the replacement for that model comes out. So the 6 is not a replacement for both the 5 and... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black To me they are both very "accurate". Neither could be called especially warm. Both have soundstaging about as good as it gets for MM carts. The AT's top end is a little more textured, the Ortofon very clean and dry. The AT has lower surface noise,... |
