| MoFi v/s UHQR I recently bit the bullet and decided to replace some of my cherished, and often played, original vinyl. I went through a similar process, purchasing a 45 rpm Mofi, 45 rpm Uhqr, and a double disc 33 rpm anniversary reissue by a record company, jus... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I have seen this discussion before, but I also have owned a Lokuis, which I loved, but sold once I bought an Accuphase C-260 Control Amplifier with a 4 band presence control. I love having the option to fine tune some poor recordings. Nice to have... | |
| what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps? I currently have the Accuphase C260 Control Amp paired with the Class A- Accuphase A 20 y Amp. as my solid state option and could not be happier. The way I would describe the sound is musical, I can listen for hours without fatigue, wonderful sou... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Wow what a great thread, keep them coming! Forgot my favorite Pete Townsend album with small faces alumni Ronnie Lane, "Rough Mix". A real sleeper album at the time , I think I was the only person in our group at the time who had ever heard or lis... | |

| Accuphase Experiences I have an Accuphase C260 Control Preamp and an Accuphase A20y Class A amp. As I live in a codo I have to respect that timing is everything when listening for me. Low to moderate listening volumes is my usually listening level. The compensator on t... | |
| Recommended Gain Settings for Accuphase Class A amp / Popping noise issue @cleeds - Thanks for that input, I thought I tried that sequence before, but maybe not. I tried it again, starting the preamp first, and sure enough "no popping"! I also contacting Schiit about the Mjolnir 2 and they also suggested starting the pr... | |
| Preamp headphone amplifier I have a pair of Seinhauser HD 600 which are my go to headphones, and have owned the HD 660's, and love them both balanced, with my Hybrid tubed Schiit Mjolnir 2 headphone amp. I have been having fun with tube rolling with this amp. This Headphone... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 I cannot be happier with my Icon Audio PS1 MkII, it has made such a big improvement in the vinyl getting its dynamics back especially in the lower highs and midrange. I was in discussions to purchase a Manley Chinook but settled on the Icon Audio ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I would like to have a remote for the Schiit lokuis, but I like the simplicity of it the way it is. I am sure I would also like the Max with the remote, I am always torn between convenience and simplicity. 1st world problems. | |

| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer I have owned both SVS and REL subs, I find that 2 REL subs integrated the best with my system. | |
| Need some help picking my first MC Cartridge Update: I have the Hana ML installed and, I must say, I'm very happy with the results! Although early days, I have enjoyed the relaxed presentation and clarity of this MC cartridge. I have also decided to upgrade my MM Cartridge to the Nagoaka MP-... | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance I would also like to add that as one ages, hearing changes can impact on the way we appreciate a more nuanced (warm with some high end roll off) sound signature and a lower volume, I have found my very detailed speakers have now been tamed by a fu... |
