| HiFi vs MidFi mid fi is more a state of mind. some objectivitists poh poh the idea that some gear sounds better than other gear. their engineering professor said that’s the way it is, and so that’s gospel. any perception of better sound is delusional, and not w... | |

| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k i own swiss electronics; darTZeel preamp and mono blocks. i consider them SOTA. minimal parts count in the signal path, no global feedback, battery powered preamp, built like a swiss tank. i've owned darTZeel since 2004, with many other amps tried... | |
| An. Prod. reissues: 45RPMs vs 33RPM test pressing. Raul my friend,,note that the post from "eziodoc" is 13 years old, from 2008. then farther above you can see my old post too.it’s always a bit bizarre when someone resurrects a 10+ year old thread. readers just scanning the posts do not always rea... | |

| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Lew; of course, this is exactly why we own multiple turntables, or move from one to another. it’s to find the exact musical equation that brings us the most listening pleasure. or maybe some just like collecting?plinth shape in and of itself a dom... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear @lewm Mike, have you heard the K3 or are you extrapolating from your vast prior experience as to its sonic character? Also, would you care to mention which of your turntables wins the sustain trophy? I’m guessing it’s a belt drive type. my take is... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear i will add that i enthusiastically applaud OMA’s efforts to build their vision of a SOTA turntable. and even admire their road less traveled. i’m glad to be a vinyl lover at a time when these type products exist and that we have the marketplace to... | |

| How important is the pre-amp? as far as volume attenuation, easily the best i’ve heard is on the battery powered darTZeel NHB-18NS; there is no potentiometer or resistor network in line with the audio, volume control being by passive attenuation governed by a dedicated process... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear as a consumer of expensive turntables, i’m a candidate for the K3. what does that mean? if sufficiently motivated, i could re-task some of my hifi system assets into the K3. (not suggesting that there are not others here that could also buy a K3, ... | |
| How important is the pre-amp? ing@azwineguy Dare I ask if it is possible to get decent sound from a home theater preamp? sound quality is a combination of a number of things. on this forum with it’s 2 channel focus signal path’s need to be as pure as possible (including the m... | |
| How important is the pre-amp? you cannot generalize about the importance of preamps as the contribution of preamps to the system performance is all about context and the resolution of the system.at modest levels of gear preamps are limitations to performance as they add cables... |
