| New Turntable pre amp I have a friend that owns the LP120 and am familiar with it. I believe upgrading the cartridge and phonostage of the your TT will make a significant sonic improvement. | |
| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? N80, I have read your other thread under Misc audio and now have a better picture of your situation. I have responded there.Enjoy the music! | |
| Audiophile x 5 months. You have inherited a very nice system and I believe your correct in not wishing to replace components. Take advantage of the gift given. Get to know what you have, put your money into the music. You are wise not to spend on a TT until you know tha... | |
| Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300? What amplification and speakers are you using? If you are not 'fanatical about SQ' yet why make a change at this time? | |
| Just getting started on a budget and need bookshelf speakers/receiver now Check out the Yamaha line of receivers and integrated amplifiers.Also Music Direct, Audio Advisor, and this site for speaker choices. | |
| Pre-Amp vs. Integrated...why? Your Marantz is a receiver having a tuner, phonostage (sometimes called a phono preamp), a linestage preamp and an amplifier. There are integrated amplifiers having a line stage preamp and an amplifier combined. Some also include an internal phono... | |

| DIY acoustic panels? As a follow-up to my last post. I purchased from ATS: 1 box Rouxul Rockwood 60 panels 2", and Burlap fabric. I purchased 1 x 3" pine boards and hardware to make frames. I built 6 panels for the price of 2 pre made by ATS ($114). | |

| Recommended Amps and preamps for Polk RTI A7s HELP!!! Why not look into the purchase of an integrated amplifier? An integrated has 2-channel preamp and amplifier in single housing. Many have built in DAC or phonostage, some both. Yamaha makes several models, the A-s701 or 801 provide 100wpc into 8ohm... | |
| Integrated w/phono but no DAC Congrats on your purchase! | |
| Integrated w/phono but no DAC I would consider the Outlaw if looking for a receiver Yamaha also makes one in your price range. Both do contain phonostage and DAC. | |
| Shelf speakers for a Yamaha RS202? There is a Pioneer Authorized dealer selling the Pioneer BS22-LR speakers for $100 with free shipping on E-bay. Best $100/pair speaker that can be bought new that I know of. | |
| Music Fidelity V-Link 192 Though I am a user of USB/SPDIF converters (V-link, M2Tech Hiface, Audiophellio) I am not sure the V-Link would prove a benefit over your V90 for streaming Spotify Premium. The V90 has asynchronous USB input. |
