| Which MM, MI, or Hi output...Nagaoka 300/500, Clearaudio Maestro, Soundsmith Carmen Nagaoka is a great cart…it makes records sound like records, Many of these carts nowadays are too thin and sterile to my ears. Like @mr_m Ive found found Clear audio MM to sound bright, thin. FWIW, I’m unimpressed with their lower tables too beca... | |
| Phono pre amp suggestion The Vincent Pho 700 or 701 is an awesome piece…In my opinion, you have to spend much more to beat it. | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? Not sure how everyone’s records are getting so dirty. I live in the desert and (as I said before) as long as I use a Big Brush, the dustcover and put records back in their sleeves when not in use that’s all that’s really needed. My records continu... | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? I would never own a turntable without a (convenient to operate (I.e hinged)) dustcover partly for this reason! I know that’s a dealbreaker for some (we must choose our battles). | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? In my opinion, people make wayyyyy too much of record cleaning. As long as you have a Dustcover and put your albums in their sleeves, a clamp cleaner (especially effective on those from the used bins), careful handling, and a Big Brush are all... | |
| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? https://groovmaster.com/ this one. Clean them in the sink. And no, I’m not kidding. I have a “system” consisting of microfiber cloths, distilled water, Dawn, and a cheap dish drying rack FWIW. | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular Op, Agreed. I ran some current production “Tung Sol” el34s and for my tastes nothing else came close. I was initially turned off at the exploitation of the name but the tubes/their quality do the name some justice. re. 6922s Although there may... | |

| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems @bobbydd FWIW I knew exactly what you meant. Definitely appreciate your thoughts. | |
| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems I want to thank everyone. This was a very productive thread for me (and others, I hope) even though… …since I have so much PS Audio Equipment, It probably makes sense that I should try the PSA BHK before I go down the ARC road. However, with this... | |
| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems @jafant you have me thinking… I heard about the huge soundstage, which I love…but, how does it treat poorly recorded music in your experience? Is the soundstage at all forwardish? Does it truly have to be run balanced to sing? (Everyone: for... | |
| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems @jafant good observation… I probably will end up trying one of those as I’m a HUGE ps audio fan. I have the stellar phono and their DAC, which I love. Yeah…that’s probably the most logical. I’ve read that it’s no slouch. Just possibly wanted to gi... | |
| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems Thanks NM…will do some research on the 28! | |
| Which ARC ref linestage to try: Ref3, Ref5, Ref5SE? HATE forward sounding systems @nmolnar I was thinking of including the LSs in my query…absolutely should. Was there anything that stood out with the ls28/se or 27(se) etc. versus others you’ve heard? BIG CORRECTION related too). I owned the ls25mk 2…not the 27 as I wrote…big ... |
