| Is DEQX a game changer? @Almarg:Al: I should be receiving my Premate Plus, within the next week or so. I think I remember you said you built a small 'booth", around your calibration mic, when doing your calibration. Do you think this was a benefit and would it be wort... | |
| Who’s a good alternative to MCM electronics supply Thanks for thanks for all the suggestions. Sorry I was so vague. Over the years I’ve purchased mainly wire, cables, adaptors, rheostats, wallplates etc. I also purchased a fairly good S-Curve EQ, that I’m giving my son this weekend. MCM had a goo... | |
| DEQX @astewart8944 :Thanks for your expertise Al. I have a very good Premium Transparent digital cable I purchased, when I bought my Miles CD player. I will use it, to set up the Deqx unit when it arrives. I spoke with Larry and he’s going to fix it ... | |
| DEQX @astewart8944 I “ talked”to Larry yesterday and it looks like I’m going to have to wait until around the first of February, due to him being out of town till Jan 15th and he said it takes about two weeks to receive, after my order:(. I’m going to ... | |
| DEQX @astewart8944 : Thanks for your reply. I took my Kora off the for sale site. I will try it in the chain, before making any decisions.Steve | |

| Is DEQX a game changer? @almarg : Hi Al. I,m taking steps to acquire a PreMATE Plus at the first of the year and am selling some seldom used gear, to help offset the cost. I have a subjective question, concerning the connection of my Theta Miles CD player. I am curren... | |
| DEQX @astewart8944: How did your combo with your external DAC and preamp work out? U said it’s good. Pls expand on your experience. Steve | |
| Connect eq to amp Yes | |
| DEQX @astewart8944 , Steakster, Uberwaltz, and Almarg: Thanks so much for your continued advice. I was a little concerned about the output voltage of the PreMate+, but was glad to read no problem with putting it in series with my linestage. I will prob... | |
| DEQX @Almarg: Thinking once again, about getting the PreMate plus. I read you use your “5” unit as a line stage. Are you happy without a traditional line stage? I have an Aesthetix Calypso Signature I really like. I like the tube sound it gives, w... | |

| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Does anyone have any dealings with buying carts off of EBay, from Japan. The savings is tremendous. I’ve read from dealers, they come with no warranties. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? I love my Aesthetix Rhea Signature with some of Andy’s low noise tubes. I haven’t read a lot about it on this forum, but really like mine. | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Hands down it was David Gilmour in Chicago about two years ago. Unbelievable sound quality that drove me into my seat. My two sons and I flew there. At 70, he can still do it like he used to. |
