| Ear 834P or Decware ZP3 or other tube phono stage The monolithic ps 2 is a steal at around $600. great adjustability and clean clear sound. I have a high resolution system with several expensive tube and ss phono stages and keep coming back to the monolithic. Later if you wish you can upgrade to ... | |
| Phono Stage Question I just ran across this thread and have been auditioning a PS 2 pre. Ive also had the sutherland and 834p. I dont think there is much difference with the sutherland and wouldnt consider it a significant upgrade or really an upgrade at all. The 834 ... | |
| Need to be educated re: MC Step-up transformers After reading this post I swapped my 1:10 sut for 1:18 with my strad. This should make the output to hot for the phono stage, also it reduces the load to around 140 ohms. I hadnt been using this xfrmr (4722) because the math didnt work for this ca... | |
| Need to be educated re: MC Step-up transformers Ive been experimenting with sut's and loading on my stradivari for a little over a year now. The clearaudio rep I spoke with recommended around a 400 ohm load with a transformer. Im now using a 1:10 step up into 47k which yields 470 ohm load which... | |
| Sota Sapphire with or without vacuum? I agree with above, Ive owned the whole line and currently have a cosmos IV. Ive also owned tables with periphery rings. I prefer the vacuum to any other system. I have never noticed any "dullness" but I have noticed the highs are rich and clean i... | |
| Switching to analog...AND building a pre-amp? The Bottlehead stuff is great and very well supported. If you take your time and are methodical building their kits will be fun and educational. Take the plunge. | |
| Basis Ovation / 2500 vs Sota Cosmos IV Everything that was said about Basis is true and can also be said about Sota. Its 2 slightly different flavors, either way you have a world class turntable and great service. The sound will have as much to do with arm/cartridge synergy as anything... | |
| Clearaudio Stradivari Axelwahl, thanks for the info. Ive tried some resistors and didnt like the result. Im actually quite happy with the sound I just wondered what others may be doing and if stepping it up was an option. | |

| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? The Riggle vta seemed to add liveliness to the modded rega I described above. This is the only experience Ive had with it but I was able to compare the RB 300 both with and without it. I am always very sceptical of claims like those made for the r... | |
| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? It worked well with a 103d, I dont know how comparable the 2 are. | |
| Any decent improvments left for my ES-1? I just set up a highly modded ES1 with a modded rb300 (incognito, mitchell etc) and a riggle vta. I made a custom arm board which entailed modifying the acrylic sub chassis. I was skeptical about the vta until I heard it. The guy I did it for was ... | |
| Best Live Recording on LP Richard, Ive heard other posters say the same thing about the mofi allison krause. My experience though is like Tzh21y, on my system the sound is rich and detailed and one of the best live recordings Ive heard. Something odd about the variety of e... |
