| Small form factor, SS phono preamp recommendation. @jorgjean , What do you like about the whest? What cart are you using it with? Music Direct has an open box PS.40RDT SE for sale right now and I’m intrigued by it. | |
| Small form factor, SS phono preamp recommendation. @robelvick @lewm @gemoody and others.... Thanks for the insights. It probably does make the most sense to stick with the Accuphase phono card. It would be easy to spend a lot more and end up with more cords, more complexity, more chance for extran... | |
| Small form factor, SS phono preamp recommendation. @grislybutter I should have mentioned that I used to own a Rega Aria, a more pricey unit than the Fono MM and found that it had way too much self-generated noise. With a good MM cart, your phono-stage may be a little less critical so you really ha... | |
| Small form factor, SS phono preamp recommendation. @grislybutter Yes, the CA Audio Alva Duo is really quiet, resolving, and sounds great. | |
| Small form factor, SS phono preamp recommendation. @rsf507 Good thought, I'll look into it again.. and @boothroyd good point, I have one in my Accuphase E-470 (secondary system) and I should move it to my new E-5000 and really give it a good audition. @solypsa Intriguing option; are they availabl... | |
| question of integrated amplification: PASS LABS INT 250 VS ACCUPHASE E-800 The E-800 transitions to class AB after the first 50 watts (8 ohms) and will provide plenty of juice for nearly any loudspeaker. Of course, along with all that power one gets one of the most versatile, precision built, and gorgeous integrateds mad... | |
| Technics sr u 1000 ... vs Accuphase e-480 I have an E-470, and I have to say that it is an absolute joy to listen to, the features are all very useful and it’s built to the highest and most precise standards that I’ve ever seen in an audio component. While the impedance sensing and compen... | |
| Accuphase dac 60 Hey, congratulations on your new Accuphase. I’m smitten too by the sound, the build quality, and the sheer aura of my E-480. I have the DAC-50 in mine and when I listen to music it’s just..... musical like it should be. Not only does Accuphase hav... | |
| 3k Phono preamp upgrade options (JC3+, XP-17, etc) An engaging and informative discussion... I had a JC3+ for some time, and purchased it new. I sold it because I felt like it had too much self generated noise too. It definitely wasn't as dead quiet as the reviews in the audio mags led me to belie... | |
| New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest Hi Juan, Nice website. I followed the link to leave you a message on the contact page but that doesn't seem to be functioning well. At the risk of leaving you redundant notes, I'll message you from here too. Regards, Oran | |
| Most impressive speaker AXPONA 2022 My wife and I began with the ATC’s up on the 15th floor. They had a pair of the SCM 40’s and a pair of the 19’s set up and it wasn’t fair of us to begin there because not too many rooms could even hope to sound better. I am a total ATC fanboy, adm... | |
| ATC or Audio Note (2-way) Sorry, no experience with Audio Note. I’ve owned two different models of ATC’s, including the ATC SCM 19’s. Maybe they are not the VERY best in resolution available, but I can assure you that there is no way that they could be modified to be "much... | |
| Interesting comment on Bose Speakers..... I have assembled an amazing Bose based system. Be zealous, ye doubters! | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? My ATC's don't sound "bad". Unless "bad" really means, "extremely dynamic, supremely accurate, and riotously fun"! | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? ATC Speakers. Musical, and truthful. |
