PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES
Thank you all. I think I've got it now. My only comment is it seems as though the digital market place needs a device that will process and organize a DSD or PCM file, store it on a hard drive, and include a DAC with an analog out. Maybe this woul... 
PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES
The PS Audio NuWave phono is an A/D converter. Why would I need to get another one? This is what I do not understand.I'm sorry to be so persistent but I am trying to understand this process. If the analog signal has been digitized into a high rez ... 
PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES
I guess I am trying to understand how one can make digital copies of LPs. 10 years ago I had an Alesis Masterlink and it was a simple matter to run the analog signal into that device and it would store it on the hard drive and I could play it back... 
High-efficiency speakers and high-power amps?
Let me suggest that you take a different approach and just commit to changing over to a high efficiency system. If you base your results on the sound quality you get from a mismatched system you have gained nothing. Chances are this amplifier will... 
Help with Cartridge Alignment
Points all well taken. I have an original Panasonic electronic stylus force guage.I guess a Foz and USB magnifier are on the birthday list. 
A Great Deal on Audiogon
A number of folks have raised questions about the integration of the standard issue 225s with the horns. The prior owner of my Trios added a third pair of 225s. I cannot say why but everything sounded much better with a third bass unit (larger wav... 
Help with Cartridge Alignment
Thank you. Yes I have a custom Wally alignment tool for my arm and I have gotten things as reasonably close as I feel I can. One could argue that now it is up to listening and fine adjusting for the final tuning. Nonetheless if I had three additio... 
A Great Deal on Audiogon

Help with Cartridge Alignment
Thank you, yes I see there is an abundance of dialogue but no clear concensus as to the value of this instrument. Cartridge set up alignment continues to be a daunting task. 
Sophia Electric
I have a Sophia Electric MC 300A Integrated Amplifier which I use on AG Trios. Both the amplifier and the Company are top notch. I agree with mt1045 that the personal service one gets from this company makes buying anything from them a pleasure. I... 
Why not horns?
I have a horn system - AV Trios- after having had many rather expensive dynamic and planar speakers. Here are some things I have noted. These comments are only specific to the Trios but conceivably they could apply to other similiar horn designs. ... 
SCHEMATIC for Sophia S.E.T. EL-34 amp
While I realize this thread is old, I can tell you from experience that the folks at Sophia are very accomodating and quite reasonable with repairs. I have one of their integrated amps, a 300B single ended unit that uses a 206 output tube. It has ... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
I have a new pair of Intuitive Design Summits with stands that I am selling only because I have ordered a pair of Pingoras, the bigger brother to the Summits, and they are finished. The Summits are in beautiful Blue-eye granite. I can potentially ...
