| Cant find much info on Art Audio Vinyl Reference Phono I would have expected the Vinyl reference to be better sonically than the One. Is that true? | |
| Cant find much info on Art Audio Vinyl Reference Phono OK so the vinyl one is better? It's not built very well. The reference looks better built and uses premium parts like Lundhal and Mundorf. | |
| Cant find much info on Art Audio Vinyl Reference Phono Its pretty good. I could be a little more transparent. There are some caps I could upgrade. | |
| Upgrade McCormack or... a bit more but if you can stretch a bit a used Wells Audio Inamorata | |
| Phonostage Advice revisiting my topic, I think I will rule out a Tube MC preamp strictly on noise basis. I am thinking solid state will be quieter and more consistent | |
| GoldNote 10 or PS Audio Stellar not ruling it out, just that I have not heard it, I should compare it. One thing that is possible is i have some PS Audio gear I may be able to turn in for credit towards the purchase of the Stellar. Considering all options. I could ask Dan if he ... | |

| Maggies and Wells Audio together @PS I agree that vivid and robust are accurate descriptors. I find the amp has balls, is NOT laid back. | |
| Phonostage Advice @millercarbon my cartridge is definitely not mistracking. i am familiar with that very specific sound. This kind of a flattening of the volume during peaks with "no distortion" lol. | |
| Phonostage Advice I agree millercarbon. It wasn't until this discussion that I realized that it may be by electronics. Realtime records are very dynamic.It's a male opera and the guys voice booms!! | |
| Phonostage Advice wow looks to be unanimous. I do have a buddy locally with a JC3 and an EAR to compare to mine. Thank you so much for your recommendations.Interesting I have a M&K Realtime LP and when I play it, it appears to be clipping. I thought the singer ... |
