| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? Yeah, I noticed this a while ago so I just keep a Schiit Loki Mini in the final stage of my vinyl setup to give a little bass boost as well as to help correct any less than perfect recordings. It's a really transparent EQ. | |

| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? Coconut oil | |
| Phono stages: Hagerman and Sun Valley 1616 possible giant killers I actually have both of those phono stages. We should talk. | |
| Linear Power Supply Recommendations! Either build one using a Sparkos Audio Power supply board or buy the 12v one from SBooster. Both are game changers. | |
| Please explain mono Someone once explained to me that it allows a person to focus more directly on the music and not be distracted by any imaging tricks that stereo is presenting. Not sure I 100% agree with that, but I can certainly see the argument. | |
| Phono stage for second system @rivinyl I have the Trumpet in the setup at my office. I thought it was pretty good with the stock tubes and standard power supply, but I think it's exceptional with the SBooster power supply upgrade. I tried upgrading the tubes as well, but ... | |
| Budget integrated amp? Dude, you need to check out the Spark from Vista Audio. Very budget friendly and a real sweet and delightful amp. Look up reviews to see what I'm talking about. | |
| Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's I am using the Sun Valley Phono EQ which is a kit (though you can pay to have them assembled) with a Lundahl SUT and it sounds absolutely incredible. I also have a Hagerman Trumpet (with an upgraded power supply), Bottlehead Eros and a Pete Millet... | |

| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma I like high sensitivity speakers with low watt tube amps for low-level or near field listening. Omega's Alnico speakers are excellent for this. | |
| Speakers or Turntable upgrade Rega P3? I just sold one that I upgraded with power supply, sub platter and platter upgrades. I replaced it with a vintage Dual 1219 from fixmydual.com. My taste in music is similar to yours, and I liked the Dual way better than the Rega even with... | |
| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary Get a Raspberry Pi, a DAC with a TOS output and install Volumio. | |
| Rega Planar 3 upgrades I mean, if you like the Rega sound, go for it. I had a P3 and bought the upgraded power supply, sub-platter and platter. The sound definitely improved. The image was wider, background was blacker, it was able to handle loud and complex passages mu... |
