| Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ?? Yes the P10 is better no doubt. I used the acrylic platter made by Groove Tracer and it sounded just fine to me with no mat. | |
| Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ?? When I first sat down to listen to my new P10 I had a big smile on my face from the moment the stylus touched down...not because the P10 sounded so good, but because my modded P5 actually sounded so good in comparison ! A very satisfying moment f... | |
| Sonus Faber speakers - what's your experience? Just heard a pair of SF Olympica Nova V`s this weekend. We listened to a pair of Magico M5`s in the same room same gear. All of us agreed thar the Nova V`s were more musical sounding. The Magico`s were sterile sounding in comparison. I`ll be sh... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @holmz ...The source output impedance is VERY low according to what I see listed for my ModWright 9.0X phono stage. Couldn`t find anything showing exactly what it is. The amp`s input impedance is 28K ohms | |
| Speakers that scale @overthemoon ...How do the Lumina`s compare to the Nova V`s ? We heard the Nova V`s this weekend along with Magico M5`s we preferred the SF over the M5...simply sounded more musical. I`ll be selling my Revel F52`s and maybe I need to consider th... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? My Tortuga passive and has plenty of power, punch, clarity and detail. Width is nicely presented and depth too. I use a 1/2 meter Audience IC that goes to a Modwright phono stage from the Tortuga. I am using 1/2 meter Kimber KCAG IC`s from the ... | |

I have a 12 VDC battery-powered Dodd Audio preamp which is not passive, but it’s absolutely silent. Can yo... | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? The Tortuga is not your average passive you need to hear one. The LDR approach is what sets it apart from other passives. Absolute Sound thought highly of it. I have tubes in the mix in my phono stage | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? The cleanest sounding preamp to me is my Tortuga Audio LDR, total clarity and measures poorly according to ASR 😎 | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp This thread got me thinking about a pair of Viking RP61 tube preamps that was given to me from an estate some 20 years ago. Also included was a McIntosh MC240 amp and a MC20 preamp. I was given a nice Kennedy tool box with quality tools in it too ... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable My Revel`s wiring diagram wants the amp connected to the 'HIGH' terminals. | |
| Amazing Cartridge Repairs by Vinyl Audio Science! Same here with VAS, pics and a couple of videos playing music and I didn`t have to request them. | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Same kinda thing happened to me but with a coffee machine. I bought a 'Swiss Made' Jura but what I received was made in Portugal. Same thing, touting Swiss made and all that. I wasn`t too happy about it at all. At least it wasn`t made in Ch... | |
| New mat for Rega P6? Double sided tape fixed the 'Static Cling' of my P10 matt 👍 | |
