| Help Me Improve My Turntable Set-Up Or get another Aegir and run them in mono! | |
| Analog upgrade: Luxman EQ-500 Phono preamp + Hana Umami Red Cartridge + REED 2A Tonearm You are welcome lcarpediem. I should add that some people think impedance matching may be over rated. I had that experience myself when I owned a Herron VTPH 2A phono stage. I frankly had a difficult time hearing much of a difference when using d... | |
| Analog upgrade: Luxman EQ-500 Phono preamp + Hana Umami Red Cartridge + REED 2A Tonearm Hi, I have been a very happy Luxman EQ 500 owner for about the past eight months and it matches very well with my Kiseki P.H. NS. The Luxman sounds wonderful, especially with NOS tubes!The Hana cart has an internal impedance of 6 ohms. The EQ 500 ... | |
| Analog upgrade path Not sure about your budget, but check out the Tavish Audio Design "Adagio", Modwright "PH 9.0" for tube designs or the PS Audio "Stellar" and Gold Note "PH-10" for SS. At least the first three offer trial periods. | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm @lancelock Well that's the "problem" lancelock...you have actual experience with the tonearm! I mean, how can you possibly judge its performance unless you have some sort of engineering experience with no need to hear it? ; -) | |
| Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp Hmm...tough call. The Vincent phono has received a lot of praise, especially for the price. Your TT may be the "weakest" link. Getting a new phono stage would be easier though, since you wouldn't have to remount your cartridge. Try the PS Audio wi... | |
| Looking for a new phono preamp Check out the Tavish Design "Adagio" phono stage with the beefier transformers at $2400, which comes in at your price point. The only downsides are that there is a 5-6 week wait time and a 5% restocking fee for returns within 30 days. I owned one ... | |
| EL 34 tubes I had forgotten about Jeff Day's review of the Sophia tubes in his Leben amp.https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/sexy-blue-tubes-the-sophia-electric-el34-st-and-aqua-2... | |
| Audible wow on Well Tempered TT Perhaps, time for a new motor? | |
| Ideas For Phono Cable For My Turntable. WyWires "Silver" phono cable at 40% off the $899 list should fit your need. They also take trades. | |
| EL 34 tubes I used Sophia EL34's in an AVA "Ultravalve" and thought they sounded great, at least compared to the stock tubes. | |
| Pure tube phono preamp Luxman EQ500...dead quiet! | |
| Purple Heart = Purple Rain? I have been a very happy KPH owner for the last 5-6 years with no problems whatsoever. I have it on a Well Tempered Versalex and now use a Luxman EQ500 phono stage, which makes for a wonderful match. Also, I have never noticed any tracking issues... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? If you think your system sounds great, why not just stick with it? Keep in mind that if you go with tubes, you may end up going down the "rabbit hole", spending countless hours and dollars looking to get the lowest noise and highest performing tub... | |
| High end Class D amps? @ kh007: Oops I stand corrected. Thanks! |
