| Cheap SS phonostage I had a Rotel 970 hooked up in MM to a stepup tranny and prefered it to my ex ARC PH3se. Go figure it out. It's a solidly built piece. You'll be very surprised what you find uder the hood. Lots of Black Gate caps and a Tamura power tranny inside.P... | |
| The best phono stage out there? Hi, My other cartridge on the second arm is the Audio Note IO2v stright into a Kondo AN-s9s tranny then into the Allnic H-3000. Works great. My other cartridge is a XV1s fed into an Expressive Tech SU1 which also works well with the Allnic.The All... | |
| The best phono stage out there? Don't know about the best but the Allnic H-3000 phono stage is hard to beat and I really mean it...that's if you like transformers. Check 'em out here on audiogon. The H-1500 is also a fine piece for the $$. I used to own the H1500 and just receiv... | |
| Base for Verdier La Platine I second the Vibraplane ( I have one too) although Minus-K makes a platform that is said to be better than the vibraplane. | |
| Review: Allnic H 3000 phono preamplifier Tube preamp Carl, good to hear. I owned a H-1500. Did an AB at a friends house who had the H-3000. From memory, there was no comparison. The H-3000 was just much better...so much better that I had to sell the H-1500. It just made the H-1500 sound confused. Mi... | |
| BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart Now I understand. Try to find a used Expressive Tech SU1 or a Audio note ANs7 or the newer Kondo designs. These are among the best out there no questions about it. | |
| BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart Why do you need an SUT? The Art has built in Lundhals and has enough gain for the XV1s. Unless you don't want to use them then you gotta spend big bucks for something like a Kondo or an SU-1. Like Pcosta said... the Tron also makes a fine SUT. | |
| BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart 1twekr, what d you have as for analog setup? Pls let us know so better ideas can come up.. | |
| BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart If you have the $ to blow, look out for some Kondo made Audio Note (pls don't waste your time with AN UK regardless of price). My XV1s works nicely with an Expressive Technologies SU-1 and also an Audio Note AN-s9s.Others you might want to conside... | |
| sme 3009 low volume To which input did you hook it up to in your preamp? | |
| Help with cartridge needed The XV1s is probably your safest bet. Does many things really well and easy to match up with your tonearm. The other 2 carts could be better in other ways so your musical preference matters at this level. If you listen to pretty much everything li... | |
| Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase I have to say that I do not own a 1200. I never liked it until I heard it side by side vs a Rega P3 with the exact cartridge all setup by me. So I guess there is no bias here..... | |
| Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase The stock 1200 IMO is a hard table to beat for up to $1500. I have not heard the KAB version so cannotcomment on them. What I would do is to get the 1200 and play with it for a good while. KAB upgrades can be done anytime down the road. Can't say ... | |
| Transformer-coupled tube phono pres Not too many out there. Try the Allnic H-3000. It's a beast. | |
| Stepup or phono preamp help Hi oilmanmojo, believe it or not... your Rotel 970BX has a great sounding MM stage. Try getting an active step-up like a klyne SK2A or a good SUT. You will not believe how good the Rotel is. BTW, the MC stage is another story...it's very harsh and... |
