| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner Has anyone compared the Audio Desk vs Degritter? Considering them both for about the same price. | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Also contemplating a preamp under 10k. Luxman C-700u, used ARC Ref 6, PS Audio BHK, used Pass XP-30, something else? | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Alrighty. Here is my current thinking after a great listening session today. AMG Viella turntableKoetsu Onyx Platinum or Lyra Etna cartridgeLuxman EQ-500 or Boulder 508 Phono stagethoughts? My biggest concern with the Boulder is the lack of option... | |

| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Basically the only things I will not sacrifice: my speakers and any degradation in the digital path. It’s a complicated balancing act making sure both digital and analog sound great. Right now, digital sounds spectacular on my system. | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup I'm going to hear a bunch more tables and carts tomorrow, but the PC-1 was disappointing in the setup I heard it. It was a Feickert table and all air tight electronics. That said, it may not have been the best match on table, or maybe it was the s... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup I’m going to see if I can find an AMG Giro to hear. Seems like it might tick all the boxes, with the same Koetsu cartridge. | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Interestingly, I heard an AMG (don't know the model, but it was very expensive) with a Lyra Etna and a Feickert Woodpecker with an Air Tight PC-1. Both on fantastic electronics and speakers. Both sounded great, but no where as good, to my ears, as... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup I did listen to some high mass designs. As far as the 10k cartridge, I guess the price doesn't seem that outrageous to me given the rest of the system. All of the components are currently in 6-10k range, with 22k in speakers, and 15k in cabling. I... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup That’s why I really pushed for a new TT. :) I’m not totally convinced on the Linn, especially the aesthetics. That said, it sounded best to my ear, and reading a lot online it sounds like the higher end Linn (including the Ekos SE arm) truly is a ... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Btw the cartridge I heard and am considering is the Onyx Platinum. The rosewood is my backup if I need to save a little money. We’ll see how the stock market does they next few days! | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup totally. I heard several tables today, including ones much more expensive. Granted none had the Koetsu (though similarly prices). There was something just right about this setup. I’m going to try out the cartridge on the Rega first, before droppin... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup It’s more about sound. I heard this setup today (though with a sweet Plinius class A amp) and wanted to take the system home. Really just perfect. I was a little skeptical about the Linn as well. Will do more research but the owner of the shop kno... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Current thinking: Linn LP12 (with the upgrades), Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum, Luxman EQ-500. Then possibly updating the pre-amp later. |
