| Sutherland Dos Locos Dual Mono Phonostages UPDATE: I received the Dos Locos last Friday. I'm astonished. Truly. I've never heard a soundstage this realistic. My speakers have disappeared and been replaced with a wall of sound with every instrument in its own spot. I'm in love already, and ... | |
| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red Thanks! I'm looking at the Zesto Andros 1.2. The deluxe is a little pricey for me right now given that I just dropped about $10k on the new analog rig. The Zestos are all beautiful and highly regarded, so Zesto is a top contender. And the Andros 1... | |
| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red And have you ever used the Sutherland KC Vibe phonostage? I have no doubt that upgrading the Sutherland to something like a Manley would yield further appreciable results. But I think you're undervaluing the strength of the Sutherland. I've had th... | |

| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red I know cost doesn't equal sound. That's why I'm sticking with my Sutherland for now. I plan to audition a Manley Chinook and go from there. But that's about six months away. | |
| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red I’ve decided to swap the Shick tonearm for the Kuzma Stogi 9 in. gimbaled tonearm. I figure why not. If I ever upgrade the Volare, I’ll keep the Hana Red cart and Kuzma tonearm and use them for the new table. Next on the list is upgrading the phon... | |
| Feickert Volare + Shick 9 + Hana Umami Red Definitely upgrading the IsoAcoustics ZaZen platform that I currently use. Looking at the Delos. But I'm wide open to suggestions on the best iso platform. Comments welcome. As for upgrading the phonostage, I'm looking into a Manley, but not rush... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 300 I used a voltage booster and the subs I had then worked perfectly. Without the extra voltage, most subs would make zero sound until maxed out. This is when connected to the stereo RCA sub outs. When using the Neutrik cable (REL's Blue Cable), it w... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 300 I've tried everything you mention EXCEPT the headphones, and that is an excellent idea. Will try it later this week when work lets up. I think my room is just too small for these subs. I wanted end-game subs because they'll soon move to a new, aco... |
