| Line Singal Bootster An update. To boost amplifier's Line Out I've inserted an analog equalizer between the amplifier Line Out and ADC/DAC. Then I have raised each equalizer's slider up to +6 Db. It worked very well. The DAC is happy receiving a strong incoming analog... | |
| Line Singal Bootster Sorry I wasn't clear. The output of Beogram 5005 turntable goes to Beomaster 5000 amplifier that does have a built-in phono stage. From that Beomaster 5000 I oupute LINE OUT to DAC/ADC Furutech GT 40. But the output signal that leaves Beomaster (o... | |
| Cartridge Recomendation for SME IV Tonearm Thanks! I've just ordered DL103R.... | |
| No PHONO IN Solution I feel comfortable spending no more than 1000 dollars on phono stage. What would you recommend? | |
| No PHONO IN Solution Thanks for the response! I'm using Blue Point V2 that comes with Pro-ject RPM 5 turntable preinstalled sitting on their Pro-ject carbon fiber tonearm. It is MC cartridge. But it outputs healthy 0.25 mV. Its output signal/voltage is similar to MM c... | |
| Music Reference RM-4 and Sumiko Blue Point 2 I agree. I have used this RM-4 with Orthofon SPU Royal N for two years. I loved the sound coming out of that system. And it was quite robust too. Now switched to another turntable (Pro-ject RPM 5). And it came with Sumiko Blue Point V2 pre-install... | |

| Delphi And SME Tonearms There are not too many options for the springs.As I know there are only four different ones.The stiffest one is white. Did Oracle remommend you white one? | |
| Tonearm Measurements I've just measured the distance between central spindle to tonearm's pivot point (the point the tonearm spins around) and it appears to be 9" inches (just 2-3 mm less to be exact).I've heard that this distance is considered to be the most importan... | |
| Is the Dynavector XX-2 really an upgrade for me? Lmusiclover, if you will decide to get rid of your sme-301 please drop me email at tempo3d at yahoo dot comI am new to this wonderful world of high end audio...at time point of time your tonearm would be quite an upgrade to me! | |
| Turntable Upgrades My father's Leica is 40 years old and it still makes great pictures. Nothing was replaced since a day it was purchased. Nothing ever was broken. One beautiful example of solid quality. It looks like hi-end audio doesn't have examples like this. Su... | |
| Turntable Upgrades I know a fact that well maintained car such as Porsche will go as much as 400,000 miles with NO motor work (assuming that oil, belts and etc were regularly changed). Same rule goes for many other "hi-end" cars. Why I compare Oracle to Porsche is b... | |
| Best intergrated amp for under $2000 Three weeks ago I started with the same goal - to build nice sounding audio system around analog turntable. As I realized later there were some "underwater rocks" there...From what I learned:1. Most likely you would have to buy a phone pre pre-apl... | |
| Line Out - Line In - Line Out - Line In - Line Out I called DK Design last week. They told me that it is possible to connect an equalizer to the amp. But since this phone conversation happened before I had an equalizer delivered I didn't ask for details on how to do it.Now I need the cables to ord... | |
| Line Out - Line In - Line Out - Line In - Line Out It looks like the amp doesn't have Tape-In and Tape-Out connectors. At least there are no connectors named like this. But it has Line-Out connector. Which delivers a signal out. And this signal is not controlled by volume knob. I am sure I can use... |
