| PrimaLuna dialogue 2 or Caryaudio SLI80 4ML Summit I have ML Summits and drive them with Rogue M-150 recently upgraded to M-180. They seem to be more than adequate to drive Summits. I have not heard Prima Luna or Cary. | |
| What are we really trying to replicate? (1) At what point does the level of an audio system exceed the level at which it was recorded and/or transferred to media? I think the answer is simple, if you are looking at it incrementally you stop improving your audio system when the improveme... | |
| Music vs. Components Both. I usually start out listening to the system then unconsciously begin listening to the music then fall asleep | |
| turntable recommendations for a vinyl newbie... I would find a friend with a good analog front end and try out in your system. You don't have to invest a ton of money in TT,arm,cartridge and phono pre but $1,000 is not going to do it. More importantly getting your analog front end to perform up... | |
| Rogue vs ARC First of all I do not have any extensive experience comparing Rogue and ARC amps. I switched from the Pass labs Aleph 5 to the Rogue M-150's several years ago and liked the change it brought to my system. I recently upgraded my M150 to M-180 very ... | |
| Trans Fi Terminator T3Pro - which cartridge Jbcello - the transfi replaced a modified Rega 300 (incognito wiring, michell techno weight and VTA adjuster).I am using the arm on a Michell Gyro SE. I have only tried the Clearaudio Virtuoso MM and the Soundsmith with the arm. Although the virtu... | |
| Phono preamp gain setting The noise is Kind of a constant shhhhh of hiss sound. It is not real loud at the listening chair at the 50th out of 88 step volume level but you can hear it and it gets progressively louder as the volume level is turned up from there. | |
| Phono preamp gain setting Thanks you for you responses. MY issue is this. I have an Aesthetix Calypso with an 88 step volume control. It starts to get a little noisy at step 50. With some LP I am at the mid to upper 50 level. I think the LP 5.3 is known for being very quit... | |
| Vinyl reissues quality Stevecham - yes I have noticed that many times there are what look like residue lines that run across the outer radius of the LP, sometime only one and sometimes two on opposing sides and you can hear it when the stylus passes through these areas.... | |
| Half speed master Thanks for the great explanation. | |
| Please recommend used tonearm under $1K I assume you are talking about the TransFi Terminator t3 linear tracking airbearing arm. It would be about $1,300 why not get it instead of taking an interim step. I actually saw one for sale here on agon about a month ago for $975. I bought one a... | |
| Decent budget turntable? I acquired the vinyl habit about 1.5 years ago. My experience with vinyl is that either your in (fully committed there is a lot to learn) or you are out. That does not mean expensive but it does mean committed if you are going to experience its fu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I have clear audio virtusuo and Soundsmith SMMC-2 and SimAudio LP5.3 phono pre. I do not see a 100K ohm option on the LP5.3. It has the 47K, 1K,470R,100R and 10R options. What an I missing here? | |
| Which TT for my system? Different perspective that sounds very good to me.I am using a Michell Gyro SE with a TransFi Terminator linear tracking air bearing arm. Used TT and new arm about $2,300. |
