| What sound diff. can I expect from PrimaLuna EVO 400 pre and power amps VS an EVO400 int. The volume control comment is for the audio neurotic category. That volume pot is used in other popular "good" brands for some time. Ridiculous statement to make to not consider choosing it. There will ALWAY be "better" ways to implement things.... | |
| What sound diff. can I expect from PrimaLuna EVO 400 pre and power amps VS an EVO400 int. Since you're open to used, I'd look into something on this level Manley Chinook tube phono preamp For Sale - US Audio Mart tubed, good reviews. I demoed one in my setup. These can be had for less, if you're a negotiator or patient/ready to poun... | |
| Phono Cable, is it necessary? The VPI cable is probably equivalent to an Audioquest in the same price point. Since you're willing to spend that much- For a little more you could also look used for something like this for half of the original price msrp. Nordost - Heimdall 2... | |
| It was 61 years ago today... Older brothers and many I've spoken to over the years mention 3 events- Elvis, the Fab Four and Stones. I can only imagine listening/seeing any of them like the rest of the world for the 1st time. I'm not aware of any new music events that hap... | |
| It was 61 years ago today... Haha! Yes, my actions often are often out of synch with my brain! 59 doesn't have a better flow either... | |
| Phono Cable, is it necessary? If you want to be REALLY cheap, Go to your neighborhood electronics store(if you have one) get a set of component VCR cables(remember those?) . They're sheilded, so they will be quiet, and actually decent SQ. $5.99 or so. Spend the savings on L... | |
| What sound diff. can I expect from PrimaLuna EVO 400 pre and power amps VS an EVO400 int. Going separates will get the last bit of refinement the integrated can’t produce. Integrated if you just want to enjoy good sound and not be neurotic about audio. Speaker choice and placement will make or break your expectations. The phonostage... | |
| Made in USA I’d love to buy "All American", but reality is another thing. Cabinets/components MIC, then shipped to HQ="assembled in (fill in the blank)" GET REAL-Some of those companies are MIC | |
| Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800 VPI Shyla is essentially an Audio Technica ART series OEM cart. That being said, arguably it's a "sleeper" that is good as $3K+ models. With a good phonostage will sound like one too. Your table/cart deserves a proper phonostage starting at $25... | |
| Humminguru S-DUO Well, it looks cleaner but not much different from what magic eraser does-AND ME does a great job on the kitchen sink and bathroom tub! Maybe another round might get the last remaining schumtz. | |
| Humminguru S-DUO Repost the pics-can't see them. I get a like new appearance using Magic Eraser. | |
| I am considering a luxman 3600 tube amp as my first adventure into tube amplifiers? Unusual choice for a 1st tube amp. Look like something for the vintage fan. If you decided on it, you can still find the original tubes it was designed for. Research suggests it's a simple mod to switch it back to original. LUXMAN 8045G Vacuum T... | |
| Where to spend my money... If you're looking to improve turntable magic, I'd first determine if the existing setup is optimized. No mention of an outboard phonostage, so assuimng the LS16 has one? If so, arguably your table setup may not be fully exploited. Since you like... | |
| McIntosh MT5 vs Rega 8 or 10 Nice choice-what finish/arm? Titanium @ a great deal would be the only way I could afford it=$11K MSRP. Enjoy it with only good pressings! | |
| What is the best way to clean Vinyl? "What are some MIC budget US's now available?" Has this been suggested yet? HumminGuru all-in-one ultrasonic vinyl record cleaner |
