| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State @lalitk Little chance of that. Just going by what I read and some youtube reviews. I got his Custom 2A3/45 and really like it so I'm going by that also. Lack of head to head comparisons is holding me back. Maybe Aric can talk me into it. | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State I'm thinking of selling my Modwright PH9.0 and going with Aric Audio's MM stage. Simplify the signal path and all that. I have a Hashimoto SUT. | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? I read somewhere else about 6F8Gs and put them in for the 6SN7. Bass got tighter; I like it. The 6F8G is an older 6SN7 and you're going to need an adapter. About to replace the 5961 with a 6SU7. | |
| Need Cartridge Recommendation for Fluance RT85 Turntable If it came with a 2M then the arm is probably a good match. Go with a Bronze and if you want to upgrade later, just get a Black Stylus. I probably wouldn't go much higher than that. I would wonder if the arm is keeping up or creating a bottlene... | |
| Is Rega the easiest turntable to set up.... With a Rega three point cart it's easy, but with a 'normal' cart it's about the same. Still need to align and check the VTF. I had a P3 and when upgrading I would have jumped over the P6 and gone P8. Better arm. | |
| 6SN7GT VT231 TUBES I just put a 6F8G in my amp and I think I like it better. Seems to have tightened up the bass. RCA black glass. | |
| What's the best bang for my bucks on RP6 upgrade? If I were you, I would try the Umami Blue. If you go P8, I would suggest you move up from the Stellar. As your system goes now, it’s pretty good. Bottleneck is probably the cart. | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? I also just got not a Super 2A3 but a custom 2A3/45 amp from Aric. Running EMLs. I just got a pair of Linlai 2A3-D tubes and they sound pretty good. Nice bass without being bloated, and good highs. Compared to the EML, maybe smaller soundstage a... | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp Go on eBay and buy from someone with good feedback. I got a pair of Wurlitzer branded RCAs for about $70. | |
| Deciphering Integrated Specs - Step Up Matching I just use the setting that sounds the best. | |
| suggestions for new phono stage I have a Modwright PH9.0XT that I really like, but I would like to try an Andros or Allnic. Tavish Adagio is very tubey, especially when rolling the stock tubes, but there’s a very long wait list. I heard good things about Icon Audio. | |
| Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's Modwright PH9.0 uses Lundahl 9226 SUT for the MC side, as does the PH150. | |
| Budget integrated amp? I would go with Crutchfield, just for the shipping and because he's not looking for high end. I'm on O'ahu and shipping is what usually kills any bargains. Recently got some speaker stands from Crutchfield because no one else could ship for a de... | |
| Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's Tavish Adagio is nice, but there's a (long) wait list. Compared favorably with my Modwright PH9.0 and I heard the tube rectifier upgrade takes it to the next level. Zesto all day long. | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Another big recommendation for Steve! He was able to repair a Transfiguration Spirit that another re-tipper could not. Recently, the also fixed a Dynavector Karat 23RS MR, and a Koetsu Black Goldline got a new rock. Wouldn't hesitate to use aga... |
