| What rock song sounds the best on your system... Rock? Pretty much anything... But going big, Sevendust kicks ass! I have to agree with MC on the Joshua Tree comment. Sounds fantastic on my system. The vinyl just kills it! | |
| upgrade suggestions from wilson sophias (original)? Add sub/subs. Especially for EDM type stuff. No reason to sell the Sophias... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dayglow... oh D&D Boomtown! One of my favorite, all time, no one has ever heard of, albums! Great stuff! | |
| In Search Of... Desktop All-In-One I have the Marantz unit in my office. Great. Doesn’t miss a beat, I run with a pair of B&W bookshelf speakers. I don’t miss the dac with the streaming capabilities etc. for a down and dirty, very nice sounding, simple unit all in for less than... | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K @williewonka agreed. I too have the 5.3. I demo’d the 310 and really liked it, then found a 5.3 for a really good deal and saved some $$$. I think the primary differences are the faceplate, and perhaps a few minor others... sonically, pretty much... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux To the above, that is correct, any form of recorded music is, recorded. It is not live, and has whatever coloration the recording may add. However, if a live show was recorded flat, no EQ, or any other fix, effect etc... IMO that recording would s... | |
| Family Problems... Second or third the VAS recommendation. Steve reworked my cart... very reasonable. He is busy, so turn around isn’t super fast right now, but the job is done right. Get another cart and move on. My wife doesn’t really like to play with the TT, so ... | |

But overall a sub system with stereo is excellent. Regarding your tv/stereo situation... simply run a digital (optical is go... | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Check out the Simaudio Moon 310LP with or without the power supply... very nice PS that will give you that warmth you are looking for. | |

| Art Blakey experts please ... ? I particularly liked the Mangione period. Blakey was a great drummer no doubt, but there were so many greats of that era it would be hard to pick one out as “King”... personally, Morello, and Alan Dawson are two I’ve studied in depth. Just some re... | |
| Problem with phono stage Ejb14 is correct. There are several other settings that the Black Cube has, but must be done from internally on the board. To include, as mentioned, a gain jumper. However, it is not really a “jumper” that is easy to swap, at least not on mine (I ... | |
| Problem with phono stage The Black Cube is a single input with variations on the dip switches that are gain oriented. There really is only one setting for an MM cart overall. The capacitance can be tweaked, but internally. It is probable, if that noisy, the capacitance st... | |

| Pass Labs int 60 vs. Luxman 590 uX ii Are these the only two you are looking into? If not, look at the Hegel H390 or H590. I was looking at Pass, Luxman and a few others, but like you, I was unable to audition the Pass and Luxman, but could the Hegel. Never looked back... |
