| what preamp to use Limited to $100 look for a used Creek OBH-8. They show up here and eBay regularly.Now for $30-$40 you could go to Radio Shack and get the battery powered one they sell. Don't laugh; it is actually pretty good. Battery power gives it very low noise... | |
| XLR, RCA or BNC? For digital cables the best is non of the above...ST Glass is probably best (and I don't mean toslink). | |
| XLR, RCA or BNC? Connection for what and where? For short runs of cables, it will not matter much or really at all. People who need to run very long runs of cables usually prefer XLR, assuming of course.....(see below).....Something to consider is....are you going... | |

| Cable suggestion for CJ preamp. Help please . Just trust your ears. Generally what you say is true, but tests done by some audio magazines were all over the map. Two cables would test out the same, but one would sound better. Or sometimes a cable that would test poorly would sound good, wheth... | |
| Someone please explain the logic of upgrades Gee Jeffreybehr I was kidding.....There is some truth in it though......As others have said; the price point is important. Supply is also a factor. Some parts are not in large enough supply to mass produce enough of an item. But they are available... | |
| Can anybody define LOW OUTPUT...? I would not get hung up on the terms High/Mid/Low output. It is like trying to define what is really meant by "low fat" on product labels. I doubt any audio designer ponders very much about how a design will be classified in the market place (low/... | |
| Someone please explain the logic of upgrades The logic of upgrades is to separate you from more of your money. | |
| Can anybody define LOW OUTPUT...? Generally speaking a HIGH output (MC or other) cartridge is one that could be used with a standard phono stage/preamp, that would normally be for a moving magnet cartridge, etc.Lower output designs are used in the hope of lowering the noise floor,... | |
