| Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? jjss49 you bring up a good point. I did try a few different settings. What did you decide on worked best in your setup? | |
| Phono preamp worth it with MM cartridges? Chakster sold me a very nice AT ML150-OCC MM cartridge that I would be willing to let go if you are interested? Send me a PM. He highly recommended this cartridge and it is a good one especially at the less than $500 price point. It betters most ... | |
| vpi classic Or a Manley Chinook SE MK2 from Upscale Audio. Very hard to beat in the less than $2500 price point. | |
| Turntable upgrade? I saw a VPI Classic 1 for 2K. Awesome table. It would take a lot more money to better it. | |
| vpi classic I purchased a Dynavector 20x2L from Upscale Audio for a little less than $1K. It was recommended by several Classic owners on a Facebook VPI webpage. I haven't been disappointed. Also just saw a Cadenza Bronze on Audiomart for $1600. Another hi... | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? Just a quick observation regarding fuses if you go down that route. You don't need to change 4. Only the main fuse to get the most benefit. I've replaced several of my components with them and its a very nice cheap tweak. | |

| USB sucks My Audience USB cable works great from my LUMIN U1 Mini to T+A DAC 8. I doubt companies would be making or investing in audiophile USB cables if they suck lol. | |
| Sold My Ayre QB-9 DSD - Help Me Choose A New DAC! T+A DAC 8 | |
| New TT for ~$1500 I'll second Chaksters recommendation on the vintage cartridge. I have a Audio Technica ML150 OCC moving magnet cartridge and this thing rocks. Current MM manufacturers don't hold a candle to this kind of build quality. I used to have a Ortofon 2... | |
| Lumin D2 or U1 Mini I went the U1 Mini route and it can support a very good DAC and offers more flexibility overall. | |
| My list of seller red flags I agree with Grannyring. I'm usually not open to trades however, if someone has an item that is interesting sure why not. Lots of audiophiles like to trade without shelling out cash or much of it. Of course feedback is important. | |
| Upgrade phono stage? Will do. | |
| Upgrade phono stage? Thank goodness I spoke for his Audio Technica ML150 OCC. |
