| Which Vintage Turntable & Which Vintage Cartridge for the turntable? The AT-OC9 is exceptional. Definitely hang on to it. Easily as good as DL110. But it is moving coil, so you'll need either a Step Up Transformer or a phono stage that offers MC settings. Both TTs are general entry level grade but decent. I would ... | |
| I need a class D portable integrated with power I've been loving the Sprout100 from PSAudio. | |
| Building Analog System +1 for Technics. Direct drive, built like a tank and sound amazing. You'll have it a lifetime. Rega is excellent as well. Classic belt drive. In your budget the table (P1 or P2) will come with a Rega Carbon cart. A solid choice, but personally sp... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Just grab a pair of Klipsch R-40PM powered speakers with the onboard phono stage. Should have plenty of money leftover to buy a decent TT. Those speakers also have built-in bluetooth which is nice for easy streaming from the phone. | |
| Power Amp Pairing Aren't those components designed for each other? If you're still hearing something wrong and the preamp has been serviced, I'd get the amp checked out if you haven't. A general rule of thumb is to make sure the output volts of the pre is at least ... | |
| Tube phono pre amps I love the Softone Model4. Listen mostly to jazz. | |

| system synergy and problems with SQ Curious...what do you have the gain set to on LS25? Also, have you taken the Bellari out of the mix and just used the internal phono on the LS25? | |

Albums include: Chet Chet in NY Chet Sings: It Could Happen To You Chet Plays Best of Lerner and Loewe You can find them on Discogs. Usually around 20... | |
| Vintage amplifier specifications My trusty Sansui AU-999 still delivers the goods. Has specs for delivering 70 watts at 4 ohm load. Drives my DLKs perfectly. | |
| Technics 1200 w/ AT440ML/OCC ... BENT! +2 for VM750SH. Excellent cart. | |
| Have you heard a VAS cartridge? I've been running the VAS Ebony 103 for quite some time. Never gets old, absolutely love the detail and warmth. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone. Paid $510. Steve is very responsive to questions. | |
| what cart for my Lenco L70? I've been loving the VAS Ebony 103...essentially a suped-up Denon DL-103 with a nude hyper elliptical stylus and heavier mass with wood body. I'd imagine it would be great fit for that tonearm. | |
| Phono preamp with best mid bass I've been loving the Softone Model4. Tube stage but still very articulate with beauty mid/highs. I also have the Vincent PHO-701. Keep in mind that's a tube buffer on the output, not true tube stage. I still really enjoy that as well, especially t... |
