| Mainstream Phono Stages Incorporating Premium Branded PCB Parts - Do They Exist? "Lab 12 Melto2" From the specs- • Full Tube Des • Lundahl Step-up transformers How can it be "full tube design" if MC gain is thru transformers? It may be a nice unit, but it just looks like another import with 1980’s display/readout. Another... | |
| Mainstream Phono Stages Incorporating Premium Branded PCB Parts - Do They Exist? "The new EVO 100 phono stage does feature point-to-point wiring, ceramic tube sockets, Nichicon and DuRoch capacitors, and gold-plated connectors. With that said, using 6922 tubes to increase MC gain in lieu of Lundahl SUT is something to ponder."... | |
| Holbo airbearing turntable "it’s just under $5K." Oops! Mistakenly used Australian. Paired with decent cart, $6K or so, seems reasonable entry. If I found one like a recent phonostage used for 1/2, I’d grab it. Looks like the only thing limiting will be phonostage? ... | |
| Holbo airbearing turntable Just commenting based on seeing one-not heard, few years ago. MSRP certainly has gone up-yikes! Very simple design almost Rega-ish. Not a bad thing, but... A $12K price tag warrants a hear before buying IMO. Does the company offer a trial per... | |
| Eminent Technology Et-2 From Scratch "Ultimately like to mount this on a VPI Table" What platform? Whenever I get around to upgrading, I plan on using my Classic base for a project. I would imagine contacting ET directly would be the best source? | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 888? "they did many things impressively except for the upper midrange lower treble dry, brash flavor. " Just like bookshelves, always system dependent. Everyone's "Goldilocks" setup will be different. | |
| Prima Luna Evo100 Phono anyone? I've had mine for 6 months. This Steve Hoffman thread goes nowhere. The PL can't be equally compared because there isn't a similar build on the market. If you're the type to listen for hiss at max volume between tracks, the PL will lose agai... | |
| Mofi Sourcepoint 888? "If he releases a 10-10-10 or a 12-12-10, i'll buy it. I like em big." deep_333- A 10/12 would get my attention. I see these 888's being a killer deal in 3-4 years due to low sales. Just like the AJ Elac Adante-dealers were blowing them out 1/... | |
| You can't afford a Lambo Veneno, so get this.. wsdpohn- I’d like add "Italian music"to my "Domestic" 50/60’s collection. 1f.JPG (524×524) (bp.blogspot.com) | |
| Wish to Upgrade Phono Stage and Cart "But does it even compete with my Allnic H5500?" I'm curious if the retail difference($2k) is justified. Performance- I would guess the PL would at minimum be competent with any setup the Allnic served, except for the additional gain it has? A... | |
| Wish to Upgrade Phono Stage and Cart Late edit- Rega P10+ Aphelion-not Apheta. Why not use the top Rega cart? | |
| Wish to Upgrade Phono Stage and Cart Rega P10+ Rega Apheta It's a no fuss install and the only limitation is the signal path downstream. Get a Minus K platform for absolute isolation. Want more? Open wallet WIDE. Phonostage- why not a lower level Allnic? Something different ... | |
| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? Don't eat /drink-all of our food is contaminated. Our water is filled with micro plastics. "Organic" is a joke. That simply means the chemicals used are USDA "approved." | |

| Phono pre amp recommendations? - upgrading from ICON AUDIO PS1 MK II palutena, I didn't own a Rhea. The noise issue with just about all the competent brands IMO is negligible. The unit I sold was all tube(no transformers) and the PL is all tube. If you're one of the "listen for noise/put your ear to the speaker... |
