| What do/did you do for a living? Electrical Engineer been working for utilities all across the nation - current home in Southern California. Had turntables (low quality) since I was a kid. Love affair with music started then and continues. | |
| Turntable feedback rumble problems with new sub I had a similar issue with my turntable and REL 528SE s/w. The first time it happened, I had bought an Auralex Audio Subdude II platform for the s/w. The rumble was pretty severe and after trying out many things, realized it was the platform tha... | |

| phono/preamp analog front end ARC Ref 2SE Phono gets my vote. You'll have to pay a little more, but worth it. There's one for $5500 at USAM - you could try and bring the price down a little. It has a gain of 74 dB and balanced output. | |
| Don't like vinyl Banished for life - don't come back! | |
| Lumin or Aurender +1 on @three_easy_payments. That's not a bad deal. The A1 is a model above the T2. I have the T1 and I've been extremely satisfied. There isn't going to be substantial sq different between the Lumin and the Aurender - they're both great stream... | |
| What's a better choice? Manley Steelhead Phono or Audio Research Reference 2SE Phono? I've had the ARC Ref 2SE for a couple of years now and its a magnificent phonostage. The ARC Ref 2SE has balanced output, which if all things equal, I would chose over a phono preamp with only single ended outputs. That's a personal choice based ... | |
| Azimuth 2020 @lewm - the fozgometer cannot measure crosstalk. You need a software like Adjust + to do so. Hope that clarifies things. RK | |
| Azimuth 2020 I've had good results with the Fozgometer. Although the Foz does not take crosstalk into account, using Feickert's Adjust + software did not yield a difference in the setting for three of my installations. Going forward, I'll continue using the Foz. |
