| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming I have a Brinkman tt, but my streaming setup comes close on a lot of records. Now... I think you go all in or not. I stream. From Qobuz via Innuos Zenith. In my setup, the audio switch, USB reclocker, msampler, quality BNC, USB and Ethernet cables... | |
| One stereo or two (stereo and mono) cartridges? @lewm thank you, this is exactly the type of information I was looking for. I do have a mono option on my Rega Aura. I tried it at the beginning and did not notice much of a difference, so stopped using it. I will give it a fair trial. | |

| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming I have an Evo400 (upgraded from PL integrated HP). Have large KEF speakers and sound is fabulous (old rock, male and female voice, and some jazz). Upgrading center preamp tubes to NOS 12au7 make the most difference. Tried KT120 but went back to EL... | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you I echo, my Audience cables are worth a lot more than my PL HP Integrated. Could afford both because PL is reasonably priced.
