| Negotiate good price noble100 - Hilarious - glad to see you're spelling it correctly Tim | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? cerberus79 - As far as I know, any signal coming in to a box via interconnect cable is processed in some way and goes out of the box differently. Even if it is just going through the interconnects, the sound changes. Less processing is better (cle... | |

| Negotiate good price nobel100 - glad to see it's still there. Although I think the spelling is schmuck. Maybe just a dope. | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? @itsjustme - no - I was talking about going straight from a phono stage to a power amp. Basically a one input preamp with that input being phono. Output to a power amp (not integrated). Same amount of cables as if the power amp was integrated, but... | |
| Negotiate good price noble100 - looks like they removed your earlier post. I liked that better :-) | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Can a phono stage ever break if not dropped or otherwise abused? I doubt it, so whatever one you like best will deliver the best value if used. I was lucky to find a used Sutherland Insight for about 40% below retail. I then added the linear power... | |

| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? The most direct connection from source to sound will give you the least distortion. Every time that I have simplified the signal path in my system, the sound has improved.Getting rid of an equalizer, simpler preamp, etc. If an integrated amp has t... | |
| VPI Classic 3 Upgrades or Move On to Something New The phono stage is usually better (I guess there are always exceptions) if it is a dedicated box outside of an integrated amp, even within the same brand. I would recommend getting a good one. I have a Plinius integrated amp with a phono stage tha... | |
| A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream...... mirolab - having your stereo in your office is not what I consider a listening room. I meant dedicated as in a separate room for audio (and probably a TV). Some would call it a man cave. Kind of like a demo room at an audio dealer, only with one s... | |
| turntable recommendations I went through a very similar situation last year. I had a P5 and got to talking with someone who took over the store of the guy who sold me the P5. Starting from a conversation of rewiring the arm from the P5 (RB 700) to upgrading the arm (which ... |
