| Oppo-105 vs Oppo-93 + W4S DAC2 for stereo. You might want to wait until the 105 is released and there are actual listening impressions. But if you can't wait that long, someone recently posted a preference here for a W4S DAC1's analog output over the analog output of a Modwright Oppo (83, ... | |
| Reduced analog posts and items for sale here? Yes, I hate to think of losing all of Almarg and others' accumulated excellent guidance to be found on these forums. | |
| PurePower what are your thoughts? I believe that Walter of Underwood is working with PurePower AVPS in Taiwan currently, not the Canadian company. I tend to trust Walter's judgments in things like this. See the other recent PurePower thread for details of issues with the Canadian ... | |
| Beware purepower inc I believe that Walter of Underwood is working with PurePower AVPS in Taiwan currently, not the Canadian company. I tend to trust Walter's judgments in things like this. | |
| PurePower what are your thoughts? Watch out there are two Pure Power (APS in Canada and AVPS in Taiwan). Some have reported having bad experiences with the Canadian company here. I'd recommend doing a search for details. | |
| Reduced analog posts and items for sale here? Think volume is down in general. Part of it may be redesign related, part of it is likely that there is less audio forum and sales activity in the summer. | |
| Beware purepower inc I believe that there are now two PurePowers. One in Canada (Purepower APS) and one in Taiwan (Purepower AVPS). Which are you referring to? I believe that a search here will reveal that other A'goners have had some problems with the company in Canada. | |
| Okki Nokki RCM-5 vs VPI 16.5 Easy availability of parts from VPI is a nice advantage. I got a 16.5 with a bum turntable motor and VPI was great to work with on solving my problem. Any part you would need is easy to order from their website | |
| How can I tell what version of an LP is best ? Steve Hoffman Forum (http://stevehoffman.tv/forums/) is my go-to forum for finding out about various pressings. A big community of obsessive vinyl fans over there. Fremer's Analog Planet is another good place to look, as is My Vinyl Review (http:/... | |
| Empirical audio off ramp turbo I2S noise Have you contacted Empirical Audio? Seems like they would be the most qualified to answer that question... | |
| Shelter 501Mk2 or ZYX R100-02H Yes, but more info even from an interested party is still a useful data point. The mistake is to not take into account just that party's opinion. Not sure if Pani has heard the specific cart in question that you are asking about, but from reading ... | |
| Best DAC Mac Mini with HUGE soundstage? Cdc2, shoot me a message (or add gmail to this user name) if you are interested in a Tranquility DAC. Selling one on another site. | |
| Shelter 501Mk2 or ZYX R100-02H Not sure I can help with that specific comparison, but you might want to contact Mehran at Sorasound to get an idea of his impressions. dougdeacon here has also written a good deal about ZYX carts, you could look at some of his post too. Not sure ... | |
| Cartridge Setup - Where to buy tools? Banquo363, How much thicker is the scale you linked to than an LP? Ideally I believe you want them to be the same thickness where the needle rests to get the most accurate VTA. | |
| Tube amp $500 for LCD-2 I'd recommend the Little Dot VI+. A great tube amp for headphones (especially if you get balanced headphone cables). I use one as both a preamp and headphone amp. |
