| Allnic L3000A I would not buy w/o an audition. I recently upgraded my preamp. Considered Allnic, DarTzeel, Lamm, ARC and Pass. Sounds like you are only considering tubes ? If you will also consider SS, you must audition the new Pass XP-30, 3 chassis reference p... | |
| Too many DAC decisions You should audition the PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac. There is a Mark 2 version coming out. What's nice, other than it's tremendous flexiblity is the ability to not be forced to upsample redbook cd's. Redbook cd's sound best when they are not upsampl... | |
| Multiple turntables 2 turntables, 2 Adona Zero GXT stands side by side with the oversize 19x24 multi element granite top shelves. Two arms at the moment, but room for a total of 5 arms. Two phono stages, one with one input, the other with two. | |
| Best Platter Material 12-08-11: BrfI've read that Clearaudio is switching from acrylic to POM (delrin) with a ss substrate.They have been Delrin now for quite some time with their upper tier tables (Innovation series), along with the Concept and Ovation models. | |
| AC regenerator ^^^I run PS Audio Power Plant Premier power regenerators in my system. 1 for each monoblock amp and another, the P5 newer version for my other components. The PPP puts out 900 watts continuous. Each power amp consumes 300 watts continuous at full ... | |
| Best Platter Material I'm a Delrin fan. It's all about the implementation... damping, mass considerations of the turntable in question. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? minimal connection points are highly over-rated. The Graham Supreme demonstrates this quite handily. | |
| Stand out phono stages if it hasn't been mentioned yet.... Pass Labs XP-25, definately a stand out phono stage. | |
| If I can afford one good cable, which component? The signal coming from the phono stage is the most delicate. If your arm doesn't have a dedicated wire...ie: cart pins to phono stage in, I would pay most attention to that cable first. | |
| Memory Players You cannot go wrong with the PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport (Memory Player). It reads hi-rez wav files (up to 24/192) BURNED onto dvd's in addition to regular cd's. There is no better reader for the money, imo. It doesn't do SACD nor HDCD. With S... | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? The system as a whole and it's synergy with each component and connection are responsible for how dynamic your system is. | |
| Speaker Upgrade ^^^ All rooms have problems unless they are treated with bass traps, first reflection zone trapping and or diffusers. A treated cube can sound great... | |
| PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade yup, just ordered my 3A version kit. Can't wait ! | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? So is anyone using an XP-30 now ? Impressions ? I'm getting the itch to upgrade my ML 380S. | |
| Mark Levinson 36 dac or Theta Gen V Best? The No. 36 and No. 36S only decode up to 20 Bit resolution. You cannot run 24 bit streams into the unit. It will not lock onto the signal. You need to consider a used No. 360 or 360S in order to decode 24 Bit/96Hz music files, which a great majori... |
