I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. Tone controls? Isn't that just admitting that your gear/room are crap or that you prefer colored music?Preferring colored music is the realm of tube enthusiasts. For some of us, the presence/use of tone controls is admitting that some recording... | |
Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I tried one in my system for a couple weeks and while the Truth did not appear to lie to me in any way that I was aware of, I eventually returned it as it simply did not sound as good as what it had replaced, an old but recapped and serviced Yamah... | |
I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. I listen to old school FM radio, to CD's, and phonograph.

Cartridge alignment tool I've tried a few and Fiekert is my fav. Very confident in my setups with this and is the easiest. I can see and align cantilever better than any mirrored gage I've ever tried. | |
The Devil is in the Cartridge Setup (and a good phone pre)... Talk and more talk. Mods always reduce resale value unless performed by the manufacturer. I would never buy a piece that I knew was modded by an end user, even if returned to stock. Time and time again arguments are made for doing this, and it’s f... | |
The Devil is in the Cartridge Setup (and a good phone pre)... Resale value not affected here.Opamps can be switched back easily.And yes, Manley products can be improved upon. | |
