| Searching for perfect mate....Mono Cart and VPI Miyajima would be a very safe bet. Many rave reviews, which led me to get my Miyajima Zero. There is also now an even higher end mono from them, which is around $2k IIRC. | |
| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 How big a room are we talking here, and how low do you want to go? | |
| Professional Audio Calibrator recommendation plz Don't overlook Jim Smith who wrote Get Better Sound. His book is great. | |
| Super-sensitive volume controls - remedy? An option that I loved on the Atmasphere amp I owned was being able to lower the gain of the amp by substituting jumpers for one of the sets of tubes. A great option for a system with too much gain. Bravo Atmasphere for that capability. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Very curious to hear more about others' use of the analog input into the DEQX. As a vinyl guy, I worry about losing some of that analog magic, though I recognize that the benefit of the speaker and room correction could very well outweigh the poss... | |
| New Music Direct Catalog Austinbob, I was also recommended an Avid phono stage by Music Direct, and wow what a great rec that was. Super helpful folks and often my first stop when thinking about making changes to my system. | |

| Is DEQX a game changer? Just read Kal's review of the DEQX and a few things stood out. For those of you concerned about 24/192, it looks like the DEQX downsamples (right word?) it to 24/96. As for the other DAC measurements, looks like there is room for jitter improvemen... | |
| Rogue Audio +1 my experience with Rogue is consistently excellent. Always a pleasure to deal with Rogue. | |
| My wife passed yesterday So sorry for your loss. I hope that you can take the time in your grief to smile as you remember the beautiful moments you were able to share in your time together. | |
| Gain of line preamplifier +1 on the importance of system synergy. In addition to impedance related issues, it is also important to pay attention to system gain as well. You don't want to have too much or too little gain overall. Too little and obviously you aren't hitting ... | |
| Help choose phono stage If you are a fan of the Jasmine and the new model offers more gain options, I'd go with that. Though the attenuators might be a good first step. But ultimately, only way to know is to try something in your system. These forums are nice to help you... | |
| New releases of Fela Kuti I'd check Steve Hoffman Forums. Much more active discussion of pressing there than here. |
