| Turntable and pre-amp advice sought I play a lot of vinyl, some nearly every day. I have the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB and I've been very happy with it. They are $599 MSRP. They do have electronic speed control, come with an acrylic platter, Ortofon 2M Red cartridge and a budg... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw - No, if my "6 for a dollar" record deals went up to "5 for a dollar", I'd be OK with it! No, I'm talking about quality used records that were $4.99 or $5.99 a couple of years ago, then $7.99 or $8.99 a year ago, are now $12.99-$19.99. Makes... | |
| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else @pc_audio - I don't own either one, so I can't really answer. I know there are folks on this forum that own the PS Audio and the Mytek. Might want to start a new thread with a title like "PS Audio DirectStream Junior vs. Mytek Brooklyn DAC+" and s... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? It's Friday, which usually means "Record Store Day" to me. Just back from my LRS with a few nice used records. Very happy with what I got and with the prices. However, I have noticed that the prices of really good used records at my LRS are creepi... | |
| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else @pc_audio - Here's another possibility. Looking at your system, based on the components you mentioned, you only have a single source - Node 2i. Since you are using the P5, which, based on experience with the unit in my system, is your weak link, y... | |

| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else If you want to try a different pre-amp, just to see if it produces the sound quality improvement you seek, you could buy the really cheap Shiit SYS and give it a try. Only $49, 2 switched inputs and one output. No frills, volume control and 2 inpu... | |
| Loud hum from left and right when passing ht signal through You may have a ground loop. If possible, try plugging the receiver and pre-amp into the same electrical out. If you happen to have a power strip, power filter, etc., with multiple A/C sockets, try plugging everything into it so everything is on th... | |
| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else @pc_audio,I previously owned the Parasound P5 for a very short time. In my opinion, it is always going to be a limiting factor in your system. It was an attractive looking unit, affordable and rich with features. However, it sounded decidedly mi-f... | |

| Network streamer with hard drive How big is the "large collection"? I believe my local dealer told me the Bluesound Vault 2i can hold approx. 2000 CDs. I also believe it can support an external hard drive, but I'm not sure about that. It's a pretty good value at $1199 MSRP. Only ... | |
