| Upgrade from my internal Primaluna phono stage... Audio Alchemy PPA-1? What else? I have a Norwegian Mystere IA-11 EL34 integrated amp. It is designed by Prima Luna (their sister company) and built to the same incredibly high standards of workmanship and uses PL's adaptive auto-bias circuitry. I have it matched to the Schiit Ma... | |
| Schiit Mani - any opinions ? I got a Mani 11 days ago. A distinctive step up from my economical Behringer phono pre. I've never had any other phono preamp so I can't qualify how good it is to others in and above its price range. I'm also not sure how long to get fully burned ... | |
| Thorens TD-203 experiences? I’ve had a Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge for 2 months and absolutely love it. This is one dynamic sounding turntable w/ gobs of PRaT. Very clean, detailed, extended, tight rhythmic bass, airy highs, big soundstage. I really works for ... | |
| Problem with Thorens TD-203 speed adjustment screws rff000 said "I used an RPM app on my phone and that seemed to work OK."I never found the RPM app accurate. I’d get different readings depending how far I placed the phone from the plater spindle. | |

| Help me decide on phono preamp I have the Schiit Audio Mani phono stage. It is quite good, with excellent detail, separation of instruments, bass, dynamics, and soundstage. I stepped up from an economical Behringer PP400 phono preamp which I consider to be equivalent to what ma... | |
| Turntables I have a new Thorens TD-203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge. Very detail, musical with excellent pace and rhythm. I’m so impressed with what I have that if I steped up to your price range I’d get the Thorens TD-309 w/ Ortofon 2m Bronze or Black.I bou... | |
| Anyone hear the Egglestonworks Emma SE? The brand is very good but on the fringes of popularity. They are most known for the high-end Andra model. The Emma is at their low end but still $4k. I was hoping for some personal experiences but I suppose I was wishing for too much. There is on... | |
| Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player This is a highly rated cheap cd player on all the audio forums around the net.https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-C-7030-Compact-Player-Black/dp/B004UR487A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=15... | |
| Cartridge recommendations I use the Ortofon 2m Blue. Great detail and timing, air and soundstage, and frequency extensions. One of the best MM in it's price. I've read the 2m Black is about as good as you can get for a MM cartridge. | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue Thanks for great comments. I'm being gun shy about Schiit Audio because of potential customer service issues.I'll look into used in the $100 range and see what shows up. Suppose I can't go wrong w/ a used CA or Rega. | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue Noromance, I cant agree w/ spending more than what my budget is, but you gave a nice positive review of the Mani vs. the PP400. It'll have to be good enough. | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue I’m not on a steakhouse budget right now, though I do love steaks | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue Good suggestions, but at the $300 price range I'll have to keep using the Behringer. At $300 seems like a lot of competition. |
