| Old tubes vs New tubes Millercarbon, you is new 'round here. Welcome to the real! | |
| Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable? ^ Could that be the vinyl solution? (sorry) | |
| Current amp setup for secondary listening room Don't worry too much yet about not using the Fostex as a preamp. Hook it up and enjoy. Then come back with questions. | |
| Looking for phono preamp recommendations ^ *phonoIt looks like you won't pay for an ARC Ref3 phono and want balanced outputs. Not sure of any stand-alone phono only amps with balanced in and out. Which leaves you out of luck. I think you should very seriously consider @rodman99999 sugg... | |
| Why not use a non-contact stylus on a turntable? The bummer about the "mediocrity" is that when it's good, it's better than "binary." | |
| Current amp setup for secondary listening room You can use the combo you suggest so why not try it and see what YOU think of the sound? Apparently the Fostex doesn’t sound as good as a preamp (using it to control volume) as it does as a DAC. Give it a shot anyway. Yes, stands would be better. | |
| Channel frequency range not balanced If you swap the channels at the cartridge, in the headshell, does the bright channel move to the other side? If so, it’s the cartridge. If not, it’s the cable or amps. Or your hearing. I assume it is not on other sources, so it would have to be th... | |
| Looking for phono preamp recommendations Not sure what you are asking. It has RCA inputs for phone and RCA or XLR outputs. | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 The vinyl does sound damaged especially on the right channel. Decca sounds the most live and immediate with good depth although it really picks up that surface noise. MC almost sounds like there's dirt on the stylus. Azden is in between. | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? The whole under the arm part where cables come and go looks a bit fussy and yes, I can see this being a small issue. | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? An old Nagaoka MP11! Did not cue up. Tracking was excellent. They played Dark Side Of The Moon. | |
| Axpona 2019 Most satisfying: the Acora Acoustics room with their $28k granite speakers playing the analog remaster of Gary Karr 1981 Albinoni Adagio in G minor was wonderful. | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? Heard the Schiit Sol at AXPONA. Looks a lot more expensive than the proposed $699 retail and sounds great. The arm alone looks complex yet elegant and well engineered. This must be a loss-leader. |
