| ZYX Omega or UNIverse? The UNIverse is one of the very few real outstanding cartridges. It is sounding very close to the real thing. When you listen to demanding music (orchestras, pressings from the 60's) you get a view into the performance. It is also a silent tracker... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea Signature and IO MK2 I had both units and I can definitely say, noise or similar has nothing to do with stock or NOS Tubes. I spent a small fortune for those NOS tubes and ant that time it was ok. Later I had a different unit for comparison and beat it in a minute. To... | |
| Tubes for Lamm m1.2 Reference My choiceAmperex 7308 NOS 1960s Dutch PQ Gold PinsThis is a very good match, huge Soundstage & more lifelike based on their superior tonal colors.I also have a few new - sealed box-old Telefunken E88CC from Germany, ultra low noise, gold pins ... | |

| Retip Transfiguration Orpheus There are not so many choices when an original rebuilt is no longer possible. But it is no reason to get sad. You will save a lot of money because for all original retips you have to pay Importer and Dealer profit and all they do is writing a new ... | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? Sonically the Kleos is a downgrade but you won't notice it because you spent more money and your brain expect a better performance. Kleos is a good choice for a very analytic, thin, harsh sounding analog rig or for average Phonostages which can't ... | |

| What makes a bigger change, dac or preamp? What makes a better upgrade path?A better Preamp. | |
| Sirius and Walker Well, in the end it is always the unexperienced user who has the money for an object others can't afford, but he is simply too stupid to use it properly. High End is full with such explanations (same with driving cars, playing Gold, Surfing and so... | |
| Nagra VPS or Tron Seven Ref phono stages? ...what about manley labs steelhead or lamm lp2?These are something different.They do a lot of things right (tone, staging, swing, body, size, time differences...) but of course it depends on you what you expect and demand. The Steelhead is inter... | |
| Which preamp with Quad 12L I would look for an old Jeff Rowland Consonance Preamp. Amazing performance. | |
| Nagra VPS or Tron Seven Ref phono stages? Both are nothing special. The Nagra VPS is one of the worst I ever listened to. Remove the cover and look inside, there is nearly nothing in it. And the pricing for the additional 2. phono input is real High End :-)The Tron is the better choice of... | |
| Sirius and Walker The table was in a condition which was unable to navigate more than 3 tracks (and it never was able to do more without destroying the cantilever of a cartridge).When your technical understanding is so limited, then you should be lucky that you are... |
