| Crossover issue. The @erik_squires post mentioned…If it were me I would take out a DATS V2 from Dayton Audio and use it to compare the impedance curves of the drivers and the crossovers to diagnose. Assuming that they came out good (the same) then that would exone... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I just don’t see any reason to go back to CD’s when Roon and streaming are so good.^That^ works with an internet connection, but in a vehicle it is easier to have bought the CD and either play it, or play it via an iPad/iPhone. | |
| Hana ML and Korf head shell @chakster Thanks. What is your experience with required gain?That Audio Research PH2 is the SS model, and its manual says gain=48dB.That phono stage shows posts for resister loading, but a flashlight through the holey metal does not reveal them.It... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening The pathos integrated is a great, very smooth sounding amplifier and likely has the required power for the OP's circumstance.I am still trying to work out the OP and their circumstance…I listened to some music today at 65, 75 and 85 dB. It all sou... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming Well the red LED is Ultra Linear, and then green is Triode mode. | |
| Hana ML and Korf head shell Ooopsie 48 dB of gain. | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming What does a red LED to the right indicate?(Their manual download from PL/HQ only has up to page 10) | |
| Hana ML and Korf head shell The phono amp says 58 dB of gain.I am wounding if that will be enough…? Maybe I need a high output cartridge, or a different phono stage? | |
| Cables for Mc1502/Focal Sopra 2/Linn Selekt Maybe start with the cheapest?Then if you can audition some it gets easier.(XLRs are pretty hard to get wrong.)Or step up from “the cheapest“ to BlueJeans or similar.But if you really think that it matters then probably reserve $ for speaker cables?? | |
| Koetsu Tonearm (mid 80’s I think?) @chakster I am fretting over a second tonearm…Maybe I am afraid of it becoming an addiction? ;)Upgrading/rebuilding the SOTA. Maybe I need a second table to use while it is getting TLC? | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening @holmz Thank you for your wise words. You remind me of person called 'jan.vigne'. He was a very knowledgeable hones and rational person active on stereophile and ecoustics forums (but sadly not here).Well please send Jan my apologies for besmirchi... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening These are dictated by the laws of physics.(Does the quanta of an electron get bigger in bigger amplifier?)@realworldaudio tbh i wasn't aware that higher power amps have lower resolution on low level listening. Can you name any specific integrates ... | |
| System building; a meditation “I really like those..." (...pointing @ the small Maggies'...).She says that my 2Cs are, “Well at least not as ugly as (my friend) MIke’s monstrosities (Maggies).”She has had some Ricther bookshelf ported 2 ways for ~30 years, which do not sound ... |
