| Can I match or beat my digital, and at what cost? my dealer stocks Clearaudio and Nottingham as well. I am really lusting for one of the Clearaudio Ambient solo tables but at 4k that will have to wait. | |
| Can I match or beat my digital, and at what cost? Ok so I tried posting another thread to update what I ended up with but that was "denied" for some reason??? Odd..... So I will bring this one back up. I ended up with:Rega P-3 24 , to be upgraded to p5 this weekendRega exact 2 cart.Rega TT PSUCle... | |
| Preamp and amp combo match Martin Logan Sequel 2 I forgot to add... use caution with the 3xx series Levinson as they have been known to have an expensive cap issue so keep that in mind when pricing a used one. Repair is expensive. | |
| Preamp and amp combo match Martin Logan Sequel 2 Look for a good 2 channel amp to start. Something that doubles down to 2ohm preffered. Older Levinson or Proceed HPA-2 ( what I am familliar with ) I have also heard some of the newer Classe powering Logans that worked well. Then pick up a good 2 ... | |
| Repair my C-J PV11 or try to replace? Keep the CJ. IMHO you won't be able to come close for 1200. Awesome service from CJ as well. | |
| Upgrade phono cartridge for Rega P3-24 I just replaced my Elys II to an Exact on my recently purchased P3-24. The Exact is well....much more exact.Better definition all the way around. Much more dynamic as well. | |
| Can I match or beat my digital, and at what cost? Cartridge is the Elyes 2. | |

| Can I match or beat my digital, and at what cost? picked up a P-1 and NAD pre for now. I can bring the table back for full credit for up to 4 months. Hopefully by then I can go for the P3-24. So far the p1 sounds pretty darned good. Thanks for all the input. | |
| Can I match or beat my digital, and at what cost? Should more budget go to the table or the pre?I am totally new to analog so yea..... My thought would be a majority of the budget, 7-800 would go to the table and 200 for a cheap pre to be upgraded later. | |
| Better to change Speakers first or new Preamp+amp Yea, with that outlay of cash borrow the amp and preamp, then the speakers and decide for yourself. | |
| Monster Cable THX Ultra: Any opinions? Experience? Never heard of that?I think Spectral used to specify MIT cables for their amps though. | |
| How do you break in a preamp Take the top plate off, most likley just some phillips head screws need to be removed. What are you going to do once you are in there? :) | |
| audio research REF2 MK2 5AR4 / GZ34 problems I don't have a dedicated system so the pre is on pretty much every day for 10 hours or so.When it fails you can see start to arc at power up. Throw another tube in, and it's good for 6-7 months it seems. No problems with odd noises. I tapped aroun... |
