| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? I went from a Goldring 1042 MM cartridge paired with a Sutherland KC Vibe to a Hana ML moving coil cartridge and Sutherland TZ Vibe. Huge difference. Some of the improvement is likely from the phono stage upgrade. The Goldring 1042 is a nice ca... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? Music Direct has the P3 on sale with different options that include a premounted cartridge. I’d get one with a cartridge unless you or a friend can install the cartridge. Your amp has a phono stage for mm or moving coil if I’m not mistaken. I wou... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Blind Ego - Mirror. Another recording not on Qobuz. | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? If you don't already have a fair number of vinyl records, it's not worth it in my opinion. I spent $4500 to get a decent cartridge, TT, and phono preamp. That's a relatively inexpensive setup. It sounds great, but not better than streaming. A f... | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @allenf1963 thanks for the additional information. I have the Reality Dream tour and Wasteland tour ordered. I found Reality Dream in the U.S. but Wasteland is coming from Poland. | |
| DDC Cableing This is what I use. I did feel that it added a bit of clarity. I use the 0.5M version. https://wyred4sound.com/products/hdmi-pcocc-premium | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? I'm getting that as well on my phone. Started a few days ago. Not getting it on my computer. Also seeing a 404 error code. I don't know how to fix it. | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) @thriftyaudio I will be interested in your thoughts on the upgraded tubes. What tubes are in it now? I've tried a number of 12AT7 tubes and there are big differences in sound quality between the different tubes. | |
| DDC Cableing Yes, the USB cable matters. What is your dvd-type cable? It should be as short as possible. | |
| Let's talk about Silver... @lak Analogue Seduction on eBay. They didn’t have the length that I needed listed (1.5M), so I messaged them and they sent me a link. It’s in St Louis now en route to Kansas City. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233845761317?ViewItem=&item=2338457... | |
| Let's talk about Silver... @ghdprentice I can verify that less expensive silver cables are generally not great. I have a box full of cables that I bought for $100 to $200 hoping to get lucky. I'm not using any of them. The Apature cables are actually pretty decent, though... | |
| Let's talk about Silver... I've tried a bunch of copper, silver plated copper, and all silver cables. Cables by DH Labs, Morrow, Harmonic Technology, Synergistic Research, XLO, Core Power Technologies, Apature (silver), Silver Audio, White Zombie, etc. I generally favor t... | |
| Setting up stereo Rel subwoofers…. If you have room, REL recommends putting each subwoofer just outside of each main speaker. If that doesn't work, set them just inside of the mains. I emailed them and asked them when I was setting mine up. | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @allenf1963 I just took an inventory. I have all of their cds, one EP, and a couple of videos. | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @allenf1963 Thank you. I just bought the Reality Dream tour on DVD tonight. |
