| Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ? I am a huge LTA fan and love my MicroZOTL Preamp. I did recently purchase a Backert Rhythm 1.3 for a second system. The Rhythm is clearly superior to the MZ Pre but at twice the price. I wish I could comment on the Rhumba but I have never heard th... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I have a DS Audio Grand Master cartridge. I just can’t believe it gets any better than this. Absolute joy to listen to. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @charliee Patience will pay off if you want great sounding cables. Bob runs a very small business, he doesn’t have a receptionist, sales team or 9 - 5 employees to answer phones and emails. He could be on vacation or off watching his daughter ge... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @charliee I’m not familiar with them | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @charliee you should contact Bob. Email is the best way to get him. There was a trial period a few years back when I got my cables. He has some new products coming. | |
| Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL @mdrone The short answer is yes but not at the sacrifice of clarity or a noisy veil. It is the first preamp that improved the sound of my amp by a good margin. The ZOTL Pre is also sensitive to tube rolling so richness yes. | |
| Modwright LS100 vs LTA MicroZOTL I love Modwright products and have 2 modified Oppo’s. I have not listened to the LS100 so I can’t comment on it. I have owned an MZ2 and I have a MicroZOTL preamp. The MicroZOTL preamp is a keeper for life and the MZ2 can’t be beat at the price in... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value I normally would not say Phono Cartridge but the new DS Audio Optical cart will render all MC carts obsolete. It’s that good. | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables Bob, I’m glad you’ve recovered from this. I understand since I’m of that age where I seem to be going to the doctor constantly. I’m still listening to my system through your brilliant cables. I can’t wait to hear these new speakers you speak of. ... | |
| What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? I have found these cable manufacturers to be my top picks: Townshend, Zenwave, Cerious Technology | |
| A preamp recommendation +1 for the Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3. It’s the best preamp I’ve owned but If the price of the Backert is too steep then the LTA is my next recommendation. | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? I ran #2 wire to a sub panel and then made 2 runs of this stuff: https://www.gigawatt.eu/produkt/in-wall-cable-gigawatt-lc-y-3x4-mk3/ Along with Furutech GTX outlets, this wire has made a very positive impact on my system. It has brought my Co... | |
| Ridiculous sale @alanpiga I will send PM Lance | |
| Ridiculous sale I have an Aric Audio Transcend I will sell for a reasonable price. It’s definitely better sounding than the Decware since I’ve owned several Decware amps. | |
| Best power cord for a preamp? I’m using a Zenwave 14ga silver PC. Not cheap by any means but it brought my Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 to another level. |
