| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k I own the HiFi Rose 150b and I’m a fan. The features I really like include the apps to tune in global radio stations, and the ability to stream 4K YouTube to a nearby television, while playing the audio, typically concert footage, through my syste... | |
| Started with $1k speakers … what now? MoFi Source Point 10 or Fyne F701 (with patience, will show up used at the upper end of your price range. | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio Considering a Skoll. Interested in opinions. TT is Thorens TD-1601 with MI cart Integrated is Yamaha A-S2200 or 3200. If I go balanced XLR out of TT to the Skoll and unbalanced RCA unbalanced into the integrated: is this a no/no, in gener... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? OP here. I personally don’t perceive the thread off-topic. With all due respect, this thread’s applied intention is to help a fellow audiophile with a complex (to him) technical scenario & purchasing decision. While it may have broadened, as t... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? @atmasphere THANKS. Great tip on the SS cartridge screws. Compliance is an advanced concept for many of us. Does anyone have experience with the new Schitt Skoll? Good reviews. And again, thanks everyone, this thread has been very helpful. | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? @tablejockey thanks, I appreciate your attention to this thread. I do have a zphono, personally, I cannot hear a difference between it and the onboard pre in my current integrated. The zphono is a nice piece, for sure. I have been reading ab... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? OP here. Lots of good information. Some takeaways: If I went with the cheaper amp, and only one balanced connection, it might be better used on the TT versus the streamer/DAC. Will be up to me to know whether to spend the extra dough. I feel lik... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? thank you @audiorusty, that is what think as well. and thank you, @yogiboy, I guess I need help in justifying the extra expense. LOL. | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? @tablejockey, thanks, I actually own a z-phono and have it in use. I remain intrigued by Balanced/XLR and the Skoll. Now studying if the TD-1601>Nagoaka MP-200>Schitt Skoll>Yamaha A-S3200 Balanced input will preserve the balanced signal ... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? OP here. Interesting. Seems like the Schitt Skoll supports balanced, and the balanced inputs on the Yamahas seem legit also. From Schitt website: "Balanced. Skoll is balanced and differential all the way through. Of course you have the choice of... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? OP here. A related and follow on question would be; is the Thorens, TD–1601, the Schitt Skolll, and the Yamaha A-S3200 all similar technology and compatible from a “balanced“ perspective? I have read they not all “balanced” claims are the same. ... | |

| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k Based on your requirement, NAD Masters M33 or M66. The Naim lacks phono inpot. While not 1 sleek box, I would spend that $15k budget on an Accuphase E-280 (add phono card or Schitt Skoll) + HiFi Rose RS-150b. If you want fully balanced, step up t... | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome +1 on Skoll. | |
