| Vip Traveler verses Rega p6 - Photo Finish? Both are solid tables. And both are common enough that you should be able to audition both. To that sub-$2000 list, I would add the Well Tempered Simplex. May be a bit more difficult to find one to audition. | |
| Shielded Phono Cable Suggestions? I used a Zu Xaus cable with good results when I had an Amadeus. | |
| Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability??? The hum issue is much more disconcerting than the shipping. Neither are good signs, and they certainly don't inspire condfidence. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? And if we are adding additional options to your list, I'd suggest also looking into Rogue. All of these have great reputations. I chose Rogue in part due to its ability to deliver excellent bass, which may not be a strength of other tube amps in t... | |
| What should I upgrade? But those AKG 701s need some power. I would look into upgrading your headphones and getting a headphone amp. There is a $99 Schiit amp that might work well with headphones that aren't too demanding (maybe check at Head-fi to see how the 701s pair ... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? IMO, I would give the Primaluna a spin. Just look as the potential restocking fee as the cost of doing business. An audition in your space is worth paying for IME. | |
| best tube preamp under a 1000 for B&K 200 sonatas? You want the output impedance of a pre to be at least 10x less than the input umpedance of your amp, across the audible frequency band. To be safe, and since we often don't have measurements available across the spectrum, 20x is often recommended. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, What is that current favorite MM cart? | |
| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? Is there anything you are finding lacking in the LM? | |
| Want to try vinyl - What equipment do I need? Budget for a record washer. Spin Clean is excellent and under $100. | |
| Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing? Someone also recommended Scott Endler's attenuators when I posted a question about a DIY balance control in a thread on Audio Circle. Just need one on the channel that is to loud for proper balance. Waiting to hear back on how small the dB reducti... | |
| Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing? Very interesting idea. I am also trying to deal with an asymmetrical room and a preamp without balance control... | |
| Zyx vs. Van Den Hul Yeah, good luck on that no wind thing...Not entirely clear what the rec from Mehran is here. Can you clarify. So he suggests Fuji with SB, but you are thinking Fuji with no SB? | |
| help to find a audio repair shop in chicago il You might try Decibel Audio on Milwaukee. Their prices are quite reasonable. | |
| Zyx vs. Van Den Hul Though I did find mention of a ZYX working well with the WTA over on Audio Circle. Mike Pranka at Dynavector USA (importer of WT tables) might be worth consulting with if your local WTA dealer isnt of help. |
