| Solid State Phono Stages I’ve always had tube phono stages. But I decided to give a SS one a try and I’m glad I did. I bought an SPL Phonos and am very happy with it. Very dynamic with great bass extension and tonally very neutral. This is the one I’d recommend. | |
| Using a mono speaker instead of stereo? You lost me at “receiver”……….. | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread What a timely thread. I had a preamp shipped out of CA via UPS on Monday, scheduled delivery today. This morning the status was changed to "delivery date unknown". Now they are thinking it's lost. | |

| Better R2R DAC Recommendation? MHDT and Denafrips are the best to my ears. An MHDT Pagoda beat out a Metrum Acoustics Pavane in my system. Pontus II beat the Pagoda. YMMV.... | |
| McCormack dna-1 upgrade or no I have owned many McCormack amps over the years. I had an original DNA-1, a pair of DNA- deluxe monoblocks, a DNA-2, and a DNA-1 Gold revision. If you are staying in the SS camp, McCormack amps are about as good as anything out there that is compa... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? My wife puts up with acoustic panels on walls and I have autonomy in speaker and listening position - but don't think I'd get away with the experimental room tuning you've got going on: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8221 I like a good ... | |
| How to control volume for DAC with no volume control Get rid of the Node and replace it with a Lumin U-1 mini. You will kill two birds with one stone. The Lumin is better sounding than the Node when using a preamp. And all Lumin streamers have LEEDH processing built into their app. This is the best ... | |
| 1st Tube amp question You don't necessarily need an input, but you do need a load on the output transformers. | |
| S3 Mark II vs Scala Utopia V2 Wow, it took you 2.5 yrs to come back with a retort? | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread I don't think fedex is any better or worse than UPS. And vice versa. I think it's a good idea to take a lot of photos during the packing process. And although it may be more costly, when shipping speakers insure each box for the worth of both spea... | |
| System bottleneck? Agree with most above. If streaming by bluetooth, correct that immediately. Especially if this is your primary source. Secondly, new turntable. You didn't mention your phono preamp, maybe that too. | |
| Warning for Revel lovers @chrisoshea Wealthy is a subjective term. What I consider wealthy, you might consider comfortable. And vice versa. Who are you to hold court over how someone spends their money or how they consider their station in life? In the OPs world, 25K sp... | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread A pair of PBN Montana SP2 speakers packaged by the UPS store and shipped to FL from VA. Both speakers arrived completely destroyed. Claim payed. A VTL ST-150 shipped to GA from VA. Fedex lost the label off the box. Someone thought it was a good i... | |
