But I have no experience with dacs in my main system.I have experience with analog source, tape deck with volume control.I compared playing deck directly into power amp a... | |
| If your were to assemble a vintage system ? Something British. But $1500 is not money. | |
| MM Phono preamp under $200 Recommendations I would probably get some used Lehmann. | |
| Full circle and thinking about speakers I would like to hear how you like your EAR phono stage. I also play Nottingham but with Goldring 1042 MM and Acoustech SS phono stage.I think about upgrading to some tube phono. Lyra Delos is an excellent match with Nottingham, I heard. | |

Or even a single silence in between notes. In other words, streaming is not even wrong. And the rest of digital is about the same, sli... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Frank, it's a good story about how you found out about John Williams.I found him on youtube a number of years ago. Also watched a few interviews with him. He speaks well too. He is Australian, by the way, living in London. He also likes Spain's fl... | |
