| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? @hifiman5 Good point. Your cables should be treated as a component itself. | |
| RCA Caps @geoffkait I saw what you quoted, so well put. | |
| RCA Caps I'm saturated in RF, for me the Cardas caps replaced tin foil and have reduced RF noise issues, but have not solved them entirely. | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? I find my tonearm cable to be very sensitive to magnetic fields and it's the stock cable that comes with the Technics SL-1210M5G. I have not upgraded this cable as it is decent. | |
| review iPhono 2 I enjoy Hans Zimmer as well, Interstellar is a great album.I may have to try a linear power supply now. | |
| review iPhono 2 So you are hearing better results using a Pyramid linear power supply? Can you describe what you are hearing in terms of sound quality? I thought about using a battery in place of the wall wart. | |

| review iPhono 2 I'm not experiencing any noise at all, just what I hear when I put my ear up to the tweeter and turn up the volume (with no material playing). I do hear a little noise. Not a very practical test, as if music were playing, the noise would not be ... | |
| review iPhono 2 @audiofun What power supply are you using for the iPhono2? I'm wondering if using a battery power supply would remove any noise I hear now? | |
| review iPhono 2 I'm using the iPhono2 with a Koetsu RSP (0.3 mV output). I also use the Lamm LP2 Deluxe phono stage. | |
| review iPhono 2 The iPhono2 is a fantastic phono stage. I just got mine a week ago, no problems for me. Very quiet, dynamic and direct. | |
| Recommedation for Phono Pre for my modest rig I"m using an iFi Phono2 now in my system. For $500 I don't think you can beat it. Fremer reviewed it on Analog Planet recently. |
