| looking for separate tube phono stage for use with VAC Avatar SE integrated amp I’m doing something similar with a two arm 401. I’m using a tube Croft RIAA phono amp plugged into a standard preamp input. With select tubes, it sounds very good. More info in my profile. Any phono amp can pretty much do what you are looking for. | |
| inexpensive phono pre amp Mani with a $30 linear power supply instead of wall wart. | |
| The worst sentence in audio writing Not true. I'm surprised you don't understand that you absolutely can pull out more detail from the medium by improving the process. | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time Had a Linn-Naim dealer who would literally tap his feet during a demo like it was in the sales play-book. | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? @emergingsoul Did the OP simply mean # of tubes or # of active elements? Just because an ARC SP9 has 2 tubes does not mean that it does not have any other active components. Then the argument is tubes vs solid state and not the number of tubes. | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? But they also use MOSFET output buffers and solid state voltage regulation. Anyway, unless it has a phono stage, a preamp is a fairly simple device. | |

| New Tubes What he said. However, nothing to stop you rolling the tubes. NOS (or used from good dealer) Telefunkens would be a good place to start. | |
| Fluance Good to hear. I thought you were going to express disappointment 🙂. Pretty high-end amp and speakers for such a modest turntable. | |
| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? Getting up to turn the record over keeps me fit. | |
| System bias The better the system, the more it can accommodate different music genres. | |
| Question about sound stage Which speaker is close to the side wall? | |
| 2 vs 8 tubes in preamp, sound difference? You have to take the ceteris paribus approach. Would the same basic design be improved by adding more tubes? It depends on how the design is implemented. Say you have a two tube preamp and it sounds good. Then you add another two tube voltage regu... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @sbank Streaming Eva Cassidy. I must admit I did not know she passed 25 years ago. Brought a tear to the soul. Her last performance. |
