| Any vocals that you like? Slaw, I agree with both of your posts whole heartedly! | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! No, AIFF is fully uncompressed with zero loss, you made the correct choice. You're in a good position, DAC technology changes fast, which means they depreciate faster than speakers, amps, and analog gear. If you have a budget in the neighborhood ... | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! Just curious, what type of file did you rip your CDs to? | |
| Audio Research Ref Phono 2SE owners - having hum problems with LOMC/Koetsu Any ideas? I had similar issues with my phono preamp and cartridge. Have you spoken to ARC about it? Kalvin in their service department is very knowledgeable.. Is your phono preamp situated near any other equipment? How close is it to your power amp? | |
| Sophia 4? I was speaking casually to a dealer and he mentioned that the Sophia may be replaced by the Sabrina ($16k). I certainly cannot say if he is correct, but with the Sophia 3 price having gone up to over $20k and the price of the Sasha ($26900)having ... | |
| Need advice on adding subs I just sold a wisdom SCS sub for $1800, which was about 60% less than retail. I actually traded it to a dealer at that value and I expect he would want no more than $2k tops for it. (Eric Lang, Wired Audio, winter park FL, great guy, excellent se... | |

| Low volume on turntable?? Nice work, that tape out saved the day! (Thanks Mensch for that!) I'm all for using the Sony now that it's proven it's worth... I agree with you, it's probably no worse than a cheap phonostage.As for the intracasies of vinyl setup, I am inexperie... | |

| Low volume on turntable?? Hockey, I think you may be taking this jury rig too far. Look at NAD phono preamps on eBay, there are a couple for less than $100... The one here on audiogon is a better option, 4th generation, for $150 | |
| Low volume on turntable?? Mesh, excellent idea! If the tape out is line level and not preamplified at all, that could work. But I also agree, this is a short-term solution so the original poster could play records today and not a long-term solution at all. | |
| Low volume on turntable?? I think with Sony means by that is that it does not make any adjustments in the digital domain. Perhaps you have some fancy controls on the Sony that would allow you to correct for certain issues. It could do this by modifying the digital signal.... | |
