| One stereo or two (stereo and mono) cartridges? One great stereo cartridge would be my choice. Actually recently heard a My Sonic Labs Gold Signature (I believe retails at 9k) that I'm saving for. Incredible musicality and tone with a soundstage to die for. | |
| Early SOTA vs New Something: Conundrum @rwbadley just curious, I'm assuming your 30 yo SOTA uses an ac motor. Does the new current SOTA use a DC motor? Only reason for asking is that I find tables in general that use a DC motor have better PACE. | |
| Transparent G5 Ultra vs Super Did you not listen to each? IMHO Transparent cables are more sterile and uninvolving to my ears YMMV | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @ghasley +1001 | |
| Dr. Feickert Turntable Stylus overhang, VTA, and anti-skating to name just 3. Getting all settings exact is crucial for optimum sound IMHO. Get anything wrong and you end up with just ok sound. Good luck | |
| Dr. Feickert Turntable @rvpiano wish you luck but have not seen great results of a TT/arm/cartridge pre-installed then shipped that stays perfectly aligned. You will at a minimum have to adjust tracking force but you should also recheck all settings, just my 2 cents wor... | |
| Dr. Feickert Turntable Agree the SmarTracker is simple, quick and very accurate | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing So are people going to start talking about the sound of the Atmasphere amps? | |
| Dr. Feickert Turntable Heard a Woodpecker vs Volare and Woodpecker had better PACE and overall a fuller sound IMO. | |
| $5K DAC OPTIONS Almost all recommended dacs will sound wonderful and without actually comparing side by side you will be hard pressed to tell huge differences. Myself I'd be buying made in USA for best customer support YMMV | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them Yeah Valin is just another low life human being. No morals or ethics. Remember the "loaner" cables he tried selling! I've stopped reading TAS many years ago. | |
| $5K DAC OPTIONS +1 for Bricasti M3 | |
| Interconnects - better before preamp or after preamp? Personally I'd get the best and use the same from source to pre and then pre to amp(s). | |
| DAC suggestions A good friend brought over his Schiit Yggdrasil to compare to my Bricasti M3 (yes totally different price points) but Yggdrasil was totally flat sounding with no life to music. Just another point of view | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Power cords most definitely. |
