| JC3+ With Kleos SL? I think they are just being safe and don’t want folks unhappy and trying to return a handbuilt $4k cartridge. Not sure I mentioned it but they did say my setup should work fine. I do have other phono pres, including a tubed one with gobs of gain t... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? So let me quote Lyra and then I have a question. They say, "Most users (and phono stages) will benefit from the regular Kleos with much higher output and considerably more energy; resulting in a much better signal-to-noise ratio." The energy par... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? I had not made up my mind at the time of the original post.Interesting you got distortion. The gain of the phono stage is fixed so I would expect noise but not distortion. A low input will give a lower output. One's preamp may distort trying to... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? Good points lewm.Lyra is using 5 cm/sec as stated here:http://lyraanalog.com/kleos-sl.htmlAnd again they mention rigid bearings.Thanks,Robert | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? Thanks Folks,I think I am going to go with the SL. The JC3+ and the CP-500 it is connected to are both quiet. The Classe CP-500 has input level adjustments so I can even the levels of the connected sources.daveyf, I believe the only way to drive a... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Hello Folks,I hope you are all well and good.I agree with uberwaltz. As I maybe mentioned, I have a Kleos and it deserves better. I have a JC3+ and it works well with the Kleos and my Classe CP500 preamp. On the other hand, as a temporary sol... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Mine was pretty much on song straight out of the box. Although as I said earlier I did let it run for a while(maybe and hour?) before listening seriously. Might have gotten a bit fuller in the mids after 20 hours or so, I don't recall for sure. ... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Hey Bondmanp,I too now have an equalizer. I bought the Loki from Schiit and put it in the tape monitor loop so it can be completely out of the path. I use it when background listening at low volume. Inexpensive and works well although I would l... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Hey Folks,The DAC+ is doing well and is wonderful.I am spinning vinyl through it as I write this. It sounds surprisingly good. I am not sure what caused the constricted sound the first time I tried the MC phono input (analog input set to MC Phon... | |
| Classe Audio rises again @jnovak As you may realize, even if the difference is inaudible some would not consider the 800 because of the IC(s). Myself included. I would worry that they might be lazy/cost cutting in other areas. That quality of gear should have discrete cir... | |
| Classe Audio rises again As mentioned elsewhere in these forums, I have a CP-500 preamp and a CA-2200 power amp. Really like them. The CP-500 with all its ins and outs, including balanced on XLR and a tape loop, and neutral as in full sound is quite wonderful.I am not ... | |
| High Speed Internet Radio List Thanks!I'm fairly sure that first one is the one I had.Guess your a better searcher than me.Take it EZ,Robert | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Folks,I have many sources so using the DAC+ as a preamp will not work for me.The CP-500 has numerous inputs, both RCA and XLR and several outputs as well. And I think I mentioned it sounds really good and has a tape loop. The control functions are... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? @erik_squires Hi resolution audio is still better.@shadorne The CP-500 sounds really good and I cannot afford to replace it with something that might be better. Remember, newer is not necessarily better. Also the interface and I/O compliment are... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Hey Folks,One of you pm'ed me asking for more thoughts on the DAC+. I have now listened to MQA files and streams and SACD's converted to PCM by the OPPO 105 as well as more 16/44.1 material. As I somewhat alluded to, the real eye opener is how ... |
