| Stand out phono stages The whest PS.30RDT. I've tried all sorts from battery to valves. The valves units always suffered noise or the gain was too low. The 30RDT is absolutely quiet, allowing you to hear right through the big soundstage. It's dynamic, detailed but also ... | |
| Whest ps.30r I went from a PS.30R to PS.30RDT. The RDT has far better dynamics, soundstage, bass definition and sounds more lucid than the PS.30R. Yes, like most audio equipment a better interconnect and mains cable will make a 'difference', so saying that the... | |
| Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth? I recently compared it (Caliburn) to my VPI HRX/ Kuzma 4 Point/ A90 combination and although there were some things that were better, the VPI had a bounce and musicality about it that I just preferred. My friend who has the Caliburn also preferred... | |
| Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear Oh yeh....I need my tooth extracted and it's getting in the way of my brain! | |
| Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear I only mentioned the phono stage because the reviewer pointed out the A90 sounded 'warmer' through the Slee.Myles...All I am saying is that to hear how good the A90 is, is it not worth putting it with the 'type' of equipment it will be used with? ... | |
| Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear I think I haven't quite put the point across properly.How can you find out how good the A90 is by playing it into a cheap phono stage. It's a bit like running a Mercedes C63 and using 92RON and cheap tyres. You just won't get the best out of it.I'... | |
| TW-Acustic Arm True a thread filled with negativity does not help anyone BUT then when a manufacturers openly 'sells' and inserts their opinions as TW did earlier this also does not help. TW obviously has an agenda here, and although he wants us all to think it'... | |
| VPI JMW 9" base/ bearing with 10.5" armtube Thanks I'll get in contact with themR | |
| Cartridge for the JMW 10.5i HiI think you should rethink the phonostage. Back a few years back I had a 501 and Whest PS.20. It sounded great. I had no issues with the combination. I went from a 501 to the 901 which was much better, faster, bigger and just more realistic. I d... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Hey Tobes.I use an Ortofon Windfeld and have recently purchased the A90 which is an absolute KILLER cartridge. I found using the Windfeld below 100ohms sort of killed the music and so far the A90 below 100ohms pretty much does the same. I use a so... | |
| Low output moving coil cartridge Hi I had a similar if not exactly the same situation years back. The answer was a phono stage that has a gain of up to 70dB. My Dynavector XX2 at the time needed 65dB to get my system working correctly so I would get the extremely low noise and a ... | |
| How does one choose a phono stage. Hi I have listened to one see post 1245019180.I thought the BPS was OK and only OK. I put it down to the 9v battery and very basic electronics. It's not as flexible as the whestTWO. The whestTWO like many others at this price range has at least 3 ... | |
| Nagra BPS, anyone heard one? Tron seven competion? Hey allWell I finally managed to hear a BPS in Germany while visiting a friend. Yes it's small! Really small. I'm not convinced it's actually a good enough unit for low output MCs. The unit was setup for maximum gain which is only 60dB! The cartri... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ I think it's a good time for anyone from outside the UK to purchase UK goods while the UK pound is weak. Even the Ortofon PW Windfeld is cheaper in the UK. | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ Quality my dear man....the slee units are toys in comparison. I saw the innards of one of the Slee units at the Walrus hifi shop website...not good. |
