| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 BTW, I have also heard the FM 222 Mk2 extensively in an all FM system. It is very expensive and overall very good sounding too. Neutral and dynamic. But it lacks a bit of that final finesse in flow which allows you to melt into the musical piece. ... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond I have some experience with some of the phonostages you are considering (not all though). I used to own a EMIA CR phonostage and still have the EMIA SUT in my system. I have extensively heard the FM 122Mk2 in couple of my friend's systems.... | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? To the OP, Because audiophile deniers are in denial mode | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 You should check out Trafomatic Audio amps. Very well designed and musically right sounding amps. | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 Octave is not a lush sounding amp. It has a high amount of odd order harmonics. It allows good control on speakers but takes away richness | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 Rogue integrated amps are all either ultralinear or hybrid. It doesn't have the lush presentation of their ST-100 which has the triode mode option. Skip rogue if looking for integrated | |
| Do you spend more time analyzing the sound of your system, worrying it could be better? I am as excited when I get a new interconnect as when I get a new vinyl. Appreciating gears and sonics is the nature of this hobby. No one can claim otherwise while discussing on "audio"gon😀 That doesn't mean music is less important. It is th... | |
| McIntosh MC275VI vs Rogue Audio Stereo 100 Btw, the Rogue Stereo 100 had NOS Millard tubes. It is a necessary upgrade. The stock tubes are rather simple and dry sounding | |
| McIntosh MC275VI vs Rogue Audio Stereo 100 I also had both MC275 Mk6 and Rogue ST-100 in my setup driving Tannoy Turnberry SE speakers. MC275 is nice but it is warm and lacks clarity. If you want a warm sounding easy sound, go for it. ST-100 on the other hand is a nice and proper neutral t... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? https://conradjohnson.com/cav45-stereo-control-amplifier/ | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? @lewm the system in which we compared the 927, Feickert and Nantais Lencowe used an EMT JPA66 Mk2 phono. It was not the 927 internal phono. So we had a common ground to compare the the three TT 950 is owned by 2 of my other buddies. They don't ha... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? @rauliruegas I will answer all your question. But your questions have an underlying tone of disrespect if things doesnt match your beliefs. Believe me there are many ears better than yours and mine, only if we have an open mind to accept other's e... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? @lewm 2 of my close buddies own EMT 950. One of them infact has all the EMT models, TD124, SP10 Mk2, Garrard 401 in the same setup. The tonearm and cart on the 950 is a EMT 929 + TSD 15 SFL on both my friends systems. Phonostage is internal with ... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? We can call a Technics anything. It is a good DD. But it is not a end of the story sound. An EMT 950 is totally another level, a proper end of the story DD. 927 is a final TT for the most discerning ears with unlimited resources. Bringing in Techn... | |
| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable Get an EMT 938 from Dusch Studiotechnik. For Euro 4k you get a one of the best TT under $20k with inbuilt phonostage which in itself sounds like a serious $5k phono and the TSD-15 cartridge which is again a solid $3k cartridge. All this as a packa... |
