| VPI Classic 3 Upgrades or Move On to Something New So ultimately I went big and switched to a Dr. Feickert Blackbird turntable with Kuzma 4-Point arm. Currently demoing a My Sonic Lab Hyper Eminent cartridge, but have a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum and a Soundsmith Hyperion on the way for d... | |
| Which Phono Pre? I committed to the Pass Labs XP-27. Also going to let the Koetsu RSP battle it out with a Soundsmith Hyperion and pick a winner. Unfortunately in that $$$ stratosphere, I can’t keep both. FWIW, I’ll report my impressions in a few weeks.I appreciat... | |
| Which Phono Pre? Again, thanks everyone for your thoughts. Great to have a place like this to get great opinions on esoterica. @rauliruegas - the tonearm and cartridge are on order. I currently have a Pass Labs XP-17 phono pre, but want a phono pre that can han... | |
| Which Phono Pre? @ analogheaven - I’ll let you know once I get it setup and dialed-in | |
| Which Phono Pre? @ chakster - what cartridge would you recommend for my TT/tonearm combo? | |
| Which Phono Pre? Thanks all for your thoughts. Very much appreciated. I don't have any dealers nearby, but will definitely be making the rounds once the shows start up again soon. | |

| Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"? Ditto all the others. Qobuz through Innuous Statement into Holo Audio May KTE. Outstanding. Actually laughed out loud a few times at how good it sounded. | |
| Is Innuos Zenith or Statement Overkill with a High-End Streaming DAC? Thanks all for your input. I decided to order a Holo Audio May KTE based on recommendations here and other threads/reviews. Didn't need to pay for streaming since the Innuos already has that feature. I'll let you know how it sounds. | |
| Which Phono Preamp? @audition. Thanks for your input. I actually also have a Linear Tube Audio Ultralinear, which is a ZOTL. | |
| Which Phono Preamp? @xcool, Keith explained there is a part, can’t remember which, that he has to order in batches of 100, which he’s hesitant to do at this time. | |
| Which Phono Preamp? @clear. It's ok. This is the only way listen in my rig and room. Besides, if it doesn't work someone here will be the beneficiary of a lightly used phono stage at a slight discount. | |

| Which Phono Preamp? Folks, thanks for all of the suggestions and for giving me a lot to think about. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going with millercarbon's advice and getting the Herron Audio phono stage. Keith tells me it's the last one he's making - s... | |
| Which Phono Preamp? Best-Groove - are discrete electronic components a bad thing? |
