| Wavestream Kinectics Deluxe Phono I’m sure that there is a lot that goes into the design of a great sounding phono stage. Much more to it than if it uses tubes or solid state or SUT’s for the gain stages. But in general, I would agree that an all tubed phono can certainly sound ... | |
| Wavestream Kinectics Deluxe Phono Thank you so much for the replies! I thought I'd give a quick update...I've been communicating with Scott Frankland about his Wavestream Kinetics Deluxe Phono Amp. First off, I must say that he is not only a remarkable designer, but is also quit... | |
| Wavestream Kinectics Deluxe Phono Thank you for your reply! Do you have one of these? It looks fascinating! | |
| Anyone Know Where I should Look to Figure Out This Hum? @dhcod Thank you for your reply! That's quite an endorsement for the Lamm. I hope all goes well for you and you are able to make the upgrade to the LP2.1 :)Wishing you all the very best of health and happiness!Don | |
| Anyone Know Where I should Look to Figure Out This Hum? So sorry to revive an older thread, but am curious about two things....1. Were you able to solve the hum/buzz problem? Was it the fridge, the wiring from an older house, bad capacitor, etc. Are you still using the cheater plug as the fix?2. I ... | |
| Pure tube phono preamp Hi Stu!Thank you so much for doing that experiment on my behalf, in regards to the tube rush from your phono stage. That was very kind and thoughtful of you to do :)Your speakers are very interesting indeed. I can sense your love of music! You ... | |
| Pure tube phono preamp @stuogawa Great system you have their!How high on the volume control before you hear any tube rush with the Wavestream Phono Stage?What speakers are you using in this system?Best Wishes,Don | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml Using a step up transformer with a turns ratio of 1:5 should give you a gain of roughly 13.98dB. The reflected impedance will be dependent upon the input impedance of the phono stage you are using.Many phono stages will commonly use an input impe... | |

| Lamm LP2/2.1 vs Luxman EQ-500 Hello everyone... I'm hoping everyone was able to have a safe and wonderful holiday!I truly appreciate everyone taking the time to reply to my post. Unfortunately, it seems as though no one has had the opportunity to compare the Lamm to the Lux.I... | |
| Luxman EQ-500 Nothing like relaxing with a nice glass of wine while listening to your favorite music :) I figured it was just a typo, but the main thing is that thanks to you, I think I finally understand how the gain is structured. Thank you!I think the rati... | |
| Luxman EQ-500 @grk Thank you for your reply. I appreciate you helping me understand how the various gain adjustments work :)So if I understand correctly, when using the MC High input, the output in dB would range from 55;57;59 respectively to the 36;38;40 mo... | |
| Luxman EQ-500 @grk Thank you so much for your reply! That's kind of ironic that the battery powered phono had hum :) I appreciate you sharing the sonic differences between the various phonos that you've had and this Luxman....that is very helpful! Could yo... | |
| Anyone heard the Don Sachs Custom Tube Phono Stage? @bobsdevices... I'm considering getting another tubed mm phono stage and both the Don Sachs and Hagerman Trumpet MM interest me.I'd be using my Hirata Tango SUT with them. Have you noticed any hum issues with either of these phono stages?Do you ... | |
| SUT into MM input section of Solid State Phono Stage Yes, I know that my Forte is not a State of the Art phono stage. I had bought it to be used just as a backup for my main phono stage. I never thought of the Forte as being bad, but I was certainly cognizant that there are much better available.H... |
