| Jo No. 5 mounting problem Hi all — I realize this is a 4.5 year old thread but wanted to offer my experience trying to fit an EAT Jo No 8 to an SME V. I believe the dimensions for the No 5 and No 8 are close if not the same. The No 8 did not fit flush for me. So, I had ... | |

| Implications of vinyl on musical trends? re: Moore’s Law. Good point. Maybe I’m misinterpreting the nature of Moore’s Law, but I thought the regression function assumed cost reduction relative to the physical size of transistors over time. If so, then damn…I seem to have missed the co... | |
| Proper set up: worth the chase @lewm Yep. The xp-17 has three gain settings. I’m running xlrs so 56, 66, & 76 vs 50, 60, & 70 for unbalanced. The pre3 has been with me for quite a while. IIRC, it’s active. Seems odd the noise floor (white noise, without question)... | |

| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers Check out the Salon2’s. They’ve been around a while, and for good reason. Can also be had at a good price given how long they’ve been in the market. | |

| Phono stage and preamp overload Thanks, millercarbon. Truth be known, your passion for analog and distaste for digital factored in to me going down this path. Your input/insight is much appreciated. Best, | |
| Phono stage and preamp overload re: Cartridge. My mistake. It’s actually 0.3mv…not 0.5. | |
| Upgrade advice (dac, streamer, other)? Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback. Best, | |
| speaker choice for new 20x30 audio room I just went through a similar search. My musical tastes are also similar, as is my room side (13x30 in my case). I found Audiogon and other sites quite helpful in narrowing down my search and can see you’ve already gotten a some good recommendat... | |
| Jolida or similar tube amp vs bel canto class d? Well, after much deliberation I just put in an order for a paid of Prima Luna Prologue Six's--my first ever tube gear. I'll know in about a week, or so, whether taking the tube dive was the right choice for me....(fingers crossed). Thanks to those... | |
| Need help planning/upgrading Thanks to all of you for your responses/recommendations. I'm awaiting my new BDP-83 from Oppo, and I'm studying up on Q-factors. Thanks so much fellow Agoners! |
