| What phono preamp are you using? @big_greg, any more insight into why Keith is only making a few more of them? It's probably one of the top items I think of as "someday soon".Sorta funny, my reaction when I hear that is closer to cross the brand off my list vs. jump on the last o... | |
| R to r dacs @calvinandhobbes Thanks for that review. Before I decided on my Pontus II, the Qutest was the other top contender based on research without the opportunity to listen to it. Your description of what you hear with the Pontus echoes my own experience... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Bodeans are great live!Here's an obscure one when you want to chill out in a dark room with a scotch or a glass of wine...David Sylvian - Secrets of the Beehive | |
| What phono preamp are you using? Nagra BPS (battery powered) and a Dynavector XX2mkII on my Sota Nova VI w/Audiomods arm. | |
| Gold or Platinum Grade of Tubes for BAT Preamp. So what's the story with the NOS Rocket Logo 6H23-EB? I'm curious because there tons of varieties of NOS 6922s and compatibles. There have been many articles and threads about the pros and cons on many of them. I've always had good luck with Amper... | |
| VTA-Nervosa a Curse or a Blessing? Indeed, thanks.If anyone is looking for something new to listen to, I've picked up a number of great LPS recently:Matt Beringer - Serpentine Prison Nick Cave - Idiot Prayer, Alone at Alexandra Palace Tone Poets from Paul Chambers, Tina Brooks, J... | |
| VTA-Nervosa a Curse or a Blessing? MC replies and my thread dies. Guys, he didn't even mention Tekton! More insights please. | |
| Best music in 2020 Yeah @slaw,@slaw, all the Acony pressings of Gillian Welch sound amazing. Just spun Soul Journey again, it real is something! Cheers,Spencer | |
| From Denafrips Pontus to Lumin @paoz what are you using for control app? Would you use Lumin app via UPnP if you make the switch? Asking because while I preferred the Lumin app over many other UPnP/DLNA options, changing to Roon was a revelation UX-wise. If you are considering ... | |
| Dream vs. Reality - What have you bought? Remember that 2C3D System on the cover of Stereophile? It was Avalon Eidolons, Spectral monos/preamp and MIT cables designed specifically to match them. I fell in love after demoing them at Overture. Over a couple of 1-2 hour demos, I was totally ... | |
| Has anybody had any reliability issues with VAC amplifiers? Moe, I've never owned VAC gear, but have read a number of positive comments from owners here and elsewhere over many years about reliability and great support from Kevin at VAC...to a level above & beyond many competitors. So I'd suggest searc... | |
| R to r dacs I have two friends who own the La Scala. One previously owned and loved the La Voce II and upgraded even though the La Voce was very good. The other owned Meridien's top of the line preamp with built-in dac(latest version). He borrowed the La Scal... | |
| VTA-Nervosa a Curse or a Blessing? Lew, I didn't adjust by ear for every LP. After setting up a cart, I would listen to a few 200g, 180g and standard pressings and come up with a good baseline VTA for each type. I'd adjust to one of those 3 settings whenever putting on an album, w... | |
| Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k @kerrybh where are you located...where can you demo? Love the Soundlab idea. Your description does sound like electrostatics may be a good option. Have you listened to any?Anyone heard that Anthem amp drive electostatics? Cheers,Spencer | |
| What do I need to spend coming from an all-vinyl setup? @dhcod If you are looking for a user experience closer to an LP collection, I'd strongly consider Roon. So you'd ideally want something to run Roon core in addition to the streamer(Roon end point) and a DAC. Suggestions:Roon Core: SonicTransporter... |
