| An Other Phono Pre-Amp Question There's no question the 834P will sound better than the PV10B phono section. Will it blow you away? It might. Why don't you pick one up and let us know. If you don't like it, you can always recoup what you spent. Two other giant-killer phono stage... | |
| Affordable Power Cords A little Blu Tak around the connection point will keep the PC from slipping out. This has worked very well for me. | |
| which would you replace first? I highly recommend a new phono stage. I had a Phonomena mated to a Denon DL-103R for about 6 months. The Phonomena was decent, but lacking in many important ways. I didn't realize this until I picked up a Wright WPP100c. That's when I discovered h... | |
| Improve your ear with these. 834p I've heard that Thorsten's EAR 834P Modification Guide is one of the best. | |
| Which Mundorf for my tubes? Paul, I put Dynamicaps in my Alon's (going to the tweeter) and love the sound. It was a huge improvement over the stock Solens. I'd like to try a pair of Mundorfs Silver/Oil. -Mark | |
| Which Mundorf for my tubes? Dpac996, what was the brand of caps in your BAT before you upgraded to Mundorf's? | |
| Affordable Power Cords Hi Rick, I would love to get a Power 3. I'm in the market for power cords right now. Many thanks, Mark | |
| Looking for a Reasonably Priced Power Conditioner I've been happy with a PS Audio Quintet. It eliminated a slight buzz in my system and lowered the noise floor to utter silence. The Duet shares the same design but has 4 receptacles rather than 10. For $200 used, you can't go wrong. -Mark | |
| New Oppo DV-980H or used Denon DVD-2910? Here's a hearty recommendation for a Denon 2910 or 3910. This same question was asked about a week ago. Browse through the forums. | |
| Rega upgrades/tweeks Williewonka, did you do Twl's strange tonearm tweak? If so, any thoughts? Also, you might be interested to hear how Charlieboy built a 275 lb. isolation box for his TT using maple, sand and granite: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&am... | |
| Best universal player under 1k used? The Denon 3910 is hard to beat for $450 used. With HDMI, DVI, S-video and component video out, it's more flexible than other units. The video is simply stunning and audio is on par with other players in the sub 1000 category. Here's a worthwhile r... | |
| Rega upgrades/tweeks Williewonka, I had the same skepticism about Michell's Tecnoweight. It's amazing that a counterweight can do so much. Before you splurge on a Tecno-arm, check out this $5 mod to your RB250: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1032024... | |
| Help Bookshelf recommendations $1000 should get you some excellent monitors. Alon Petite, Nola Rascal, Totem Model 1, Green Mountain Audio Europa, Spendor S3/5se... to name a few. Cleaneduphippy is right to ask what the rest of your system looks like. Tubes? SS? btw, Alon IV's ... | |
| Is there a budget preamp that stands out? A Bellari VP-129 for less than $200 would add a nice tube warmth and match well with your high output Shure. | |
| phono stage recommendations for garrard zero 100 Avrij, before you take the plunge, you should seriously consider a Bellari VP-129. I've owned several inexpensive SS phono pre's: NAD, Parasound, Musical Fidelity X-LPS. The tube-based Bellari sounded best in my opinion. It's hard to beat for less... |
