| Need Amp recommendation Topping PA5 for $349! Placed second to the Benchmark AHB2 at $3500! 48/83 wpc at 8/4 ohms - 0.1% distortion. Over 110 wpc at 1% distortion. Why pay more. The PA5 is state-of-the-art Class D! Don't be fooled by the low price! | |
| Looking for amp to go with Triangle Borea Br08 Topping PA5 for $349! Placed second to the Benchmark AHB2 at $3500! PA5 has 48 wpc@8 ohms, 83 wpc@4 ohms - 0.1% distortion! Why spend more? | |
| Turntable Anyway why spend $3K? The new Technics for $1800 is excellent! Direct drive is better than belt drive. Money saved can go to a new mc cartridge. | |
| Turntable No need to change the Rega arm right away! Just add a better mc cartridge. You can do that before purchasing a Sota TT. A Hana EL is an easy recommendation. That on your Ariston would be a significant upgrade. | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... Same category as the Bedini CD demagnetizer? | |
| How important is the cable between the SUT and phono pre? If the capacitive load is below the minimum for a particular mm cartridge it will have a high frequency peak. Moving coil cartridges are immune to capacitive loading. | |
| How important is the cable between the SUT and phono pre? Some mm cartridges have a recommended capacitive load for flattest response. This capacitance is the sum of the tone arm wiring, cable to the phono stage and the phono stage input capacitances. | |
| How important is the cable between the SUT and phono pre? Does the Denon AU-340 have a bypass switch so you can run a mm cartridge through it and avoid the transformer? Cable capacitance will only affect the high frequencies of mm cartridges by rolling them off. | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES +1 wesheadley! A voice of reason amid the subjective blather from the wire-obsessed. | |
| Review : Tojock DVP-506 DVD Player, Conext Link Audio RCA IC. SOTA for the price! Good for you for choosing those particular cables! Whether it's a $3 red/black Chinese IC or a thousand-a-meter Siltech the truth is they all pass a 20hz to 20khz audio signal the same! Herb Reichert said this back in Listener: "Wire is like a con... | |
| Review : Tojock DVP-506 DVD Player, Conext Link Audio RCA IC. SOTA for the price! Nothing wrong with using a DVD player as a transport. Though some here will go "ugh"! Bits are bits! Requirements for accurate DVD video playback are more rigorous than for Redbook CD. The appearance of ever more costly transports is a marketing p... | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... You really need to get outside more often! | |
| 3 way speaker Just buy a pair of vintage AR 3A's. All the warmth in the midrange you'd ever want to hear and an honest 38 hz in the bass! | |
| Tonearm for vintage mm cartridges Denon DA-401 is designed for high compliance cartridges. 10 inch length and 7 grams mass. There are several available on eBay now. $439.27 and free shipping from Japan. | |
