| Technics SL 1200 GR In addition to the Nagaoka JT 80 Black, which I have, I would also recommend the Nagaoka MP-500. Both are excellent carts. The MP-500 will give you more transparency and perhaps keep you from wanting to upgrade down the road. | |
| dac recommendations for turntable listener? +1 on adding a better power supply to the Node. This should help with the sibilance, tame harshness and add more clarity. I highly recommend Fidelity Audio in UK. Their Reference interface board and LPS make an exceptional difference. But the Tedd... | |
| New Steely Dan Aja Maybe not completely relevant, I have the same mastering by Bernie G/ Acoustic Sounds on SACD. This beats my Japan pressing on vinyl, which beats my US pressing and streaming from Qubuz. Worth getting IMO. | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs Maybe call a dealer who might know more? | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs The Cl-38uC is a different circuit than the 550AXII The CL states: BAL.LINE: 190mV/20kΩ *2 | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs I owned and loved the 550AXII before upgrading within the lineup. It is very robust. What is your source component? | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric I have a Luxman D-05u from the previous generation. Amazing player, sound and build. Balanced out, great internal DAC. Uses Luxman's proprietary transport, one of the best available. Plays SACD's/hybrids as well as CD's. The Luxman D-03x listed a... | |
| Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs You state that your source has a max output of 5.8v. Does that mean your source has a variable output? If so, try it turned down low. The manual states: Pre-amplifier Input sensitivity/input impedance LINE : 180 mV / 47 kΩ MONITOR : 180 mV / 4... | |

| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Ozzy62, The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel has reviewed both the 70 and 50. Like Ozzy stated, Hans also said you get more isolation. I went for the 100, but I bet the 70 would be great also. | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Yes, the AUVA 100's arrived Monday. So far I have compared several tracks I know well and that I felt could sound better. Along with tracks that reviewers used to describe the AUVA sound. The AUVA's are besting the Podiums in clarity. Not night an... | |
| Stack Audio Auva Isolator Just ordered the AUVA 100's. I will compare them to Podiums. Josh sent me a discount code that is good for this week, saved $91.86. The 30 day return may be of use. We will see. | |
| Step down transformer for a turntable My Japan market Victor QL-A75 runs wonderfully with a step down transformer, it draws 16 watts. Like others have said better to have more watts than needed. Avoid the cheapest ones. The one I use is rated for 1120 watts continuous power, and I plu... | |
| Eric Carmen The wife and I are streaming all his hits now in honor of his life. Since we need be somewhere in about 30 minutes, it will be perfect timing. All kidding aside, We are singing along. I love Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 and every time I hea... | |
| Sound Quality of Cables Used With Bluesound Node In my experience, coax is better than optical, and USB can be better than coax. But this is very system dependent. Some DAC's just sound better with one type of input compared to the others. So there is no hard rule here. And to muddy the waters ... |
