Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
@sns Good to hear from you and thank you for your feedback. Like I said, I am digging the features and it’s been compared favorably with big dogs. One of my favorites is Air Tight ATE-3011…wish I can afford it. Let’s see where I land…it’s all very... 
Garrard 301 - Project
Thank you both for clarifying. I am kinda stuck with FI-03 IEC as other IEC will not fit. Am empty fuse box feels strange, may be I can use one of those Graphene Sluggo’s @gladmo been raving about…lol!   
Garrard 301 - Project
@noromance @mdalton @jperry @fsonicsmith  I have received my plinth and it came with a generic IEC with an integrated 5X20mm fuse holder. I look around and didn’t find any fuse value on Garrard’s. Are you using a fuse with your Garrard? If yes, m... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
Does anyone have a direct experience with Thöress ‘Phono Enhancer’. I was reading late last night about it and kinda digging its design and features. A purely active phono circuit – no step-up transformers – that uses three NOS (new-old-stock) tub... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
@rauliruegas I appreciate the recommendation for Integrated but I am not looking to upgrade my Integrated. Accuphase Integrated is not going anywhere! On my last shootout with T+A and Dartzeel, I preferred the synergy between the Accuphase and T...

Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
@jfrmusic  I sent you a PM about GTO. I have been using e-TP80 and e-TP60 with my other audio systems in the house for over 15 plus years. My main audio room has GTX-D (R) receptacles and pair of NCF Clear Line Filters.   
Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
“I returned the 707” @jfrmusic  I may sound like a broken record, your high resolution system deserves a power conditioner that further lowers the AC noise without stripping away the dynamics and other virtues. Between Shunyata and Furutech, my ... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
@cey  Appreciate your advise. I keeping an open mind about this and will continue to explore my options in upcoming months. For starters, I am leaning towards a custom SUT’s plus MM tube phono setup.     
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
“I thought the Monbrisson phono stage did not have sufficient gain for a LOMC cartridge” @lewm  I didn’t perceive anything lacking with the soundstage when I played Hana Umami Red through Monbrison onboard phono. Others may have used a SUT as per... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
@atmasphere  Would you please care to elaborate on ‘phono sections’ options / brands. If this would entail switching out to a new preamp with stellar phono section then I am not ready to do that just yet. I made a mistake of selling my Shindo Mon... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
@atmasphere Thank again for your insight on SUT’s. I am aware of limitations with SUT’s as far as compatibility with another cartridge. I am willing to put up with extra cost of securing another SUT’s once I change my cart. I am approaching my r... 
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
@pindac  Thank you for your recommendation.Sculpture A is already on my short list. Unfortunately, their products are not easily available in the US. I wanted to try the Le Phono MKII, so far no luck in securing a deal.   
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
@atmasphere  Good point, I am focusing on ‘custom’ SUT’s that are designed specifically to mate my choice of the cart’s.     
MoFi v/s UHQR
+1, @mikelavigne  I am with Mike on MoFi One Step releases. Even though these records sounds incredibly good, they are not better than their digital counterparts. You’re paying for tactile experience and fancy packaging. They may appreciate in va...
