| 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 ... | |
| System building; a meditation Let’s pretend that equipment is the lessor part of the whole enchilada…In that case I would be spruiking Dirac, or other EQ and room compensation schemes.At some point having an SO can be worthwhile, or at least a more costly upgrade than the audi... | |
| Koetsu Tonearm (mid 80’s I think?) Thanks @mijostynThanks @chakster that is a bit of gear.Those Luxmans look good with a couple of arms.There is an arm and Koestu Red Signature MC as a combo… Hence the Q&A. | |
| System building; a meditation I dunno… when I started the preamp and amp were often shown with the speaker I choose. And the speaker was one that was tolerant of many amplifiers. So that makes it a bit easier IMO.In an objective sense, one could use a known waveform and gated ... | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... If they don’t believe in power cords because they don’t understand how they work, I’m guessing they do not fly in airplanes either. Wright! | |
