| Need help in DC/Northern VA - Tonearm board modification Surprised he has not responded. I don't know the gentleman but everything I have heard about him has been very positive. Did you try Bill Thalmann at Music Technologies in Springfield. Not sure if they work on turntables but worth a try. | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic 120se vs. Linear Tube Audio 40 Reference Amps Something you might be interested in that I saw on the CJ website regarding P120’s: 1. All versions are superb, the deciding factor lies in the user's personal preference of output tubes. 2. The EL34 sound is magical, it has that enveloping so... | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic 120se vs. Linear Tube Audio 40 Reference Amps If you’re looking for the “old” warmer CJ sound you’re probably better off with the non SE Classic 120 with EL 34’s. LTA’s won’t get you there. | |
| Need help in DC/Northern VA - Tonearm board modification Have you tried Dr. Vinyl? Not DC but not that far from you either. | |
| Add External DAC or Upgrade to a New Streamer / DAC? The combination of the N200 and Terminator II 12th is killer. I run that combination with the exception that my Terminator is the prior edition. SQ is as good or better than my recently departed analog rig which cost more. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update As I read through this thread I think the biggest takeaway is that ymmv. My question is why have there been so many different versions of the updates in such a short time period? They just announced still another one for the Ares II/Enya. If Dena... | |
| Atma-Sphere MP3 or something else? Vcaps only. NOS tubes. RCA 12AU7's from the 60's really made a difference. Older Russian 6ns7 (can't remember who's) not so much so. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP3 or something else? I purchased a demo MP3.3 last summer. Line level only. The unit is dead quite. If you're getting noise, chances are it's a tube. No experience with Primaluna but I have owned several preamps, both tube and SS, both less and more expensive than ... | |
| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? Look for 7dj8's as well. Should be interchangable in almost all cases. Much cheaper and sound just as good. I ran 7dj8 Telefunkens in my preamps for years. Just wonderful. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @ lollipopguild. This is something that has also been confusing to me. Your Pontus 12th that you recently purchased already has an update? Did your Pontus come from the factory with v1.0 and then you updated to v1.4? Or was there some thing in ... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I've been following this thread off and on for the last several weeks and had the impression that most people have been happy with the firmware updates. Now after reading Vinshine's latest announcement that does not appear to be the case and Vins... | |
| Bluesound Node 2I Power Supply Update Mine fluctuates between 5.00 and 5.02. I expect that is normal due to current fluctuations in my house. | |
| Bluesound Node 2I Power Supply Update @mceljo I had the same dilemma with the two cords. Never noticed a different sized end on one of them. I'll have to find the box and check out the other cord. When I contacted Alvin he said the cords were interchangeable and I could use either o... | |
| Schiit yggdrasil + Less Is More vs. Denafrips Pontus II I've owned both the Yiggy OG and Pontus II. Have not heard the less is more version or Pontus 12th, which is their current model. Still own the Pontus which of the two I slightly prefer. Plus its $500 cheaper if you buy from Vinshine. But they ar... | |
| Preamp Advice/experiences needed I ran Pr12's for a number of years. I tried several different preamps but always found CJ tubed worked best. Depending on your budget one of the newer CJ preamps would really wake those amps up. If you like the older CJ sound, look for a Pr16, ... |
