| Loki Max analog improvement Man, I don't like knobs without referencing or indicators. It's the OCD in me. | |
| How Has Your Finely Tuned Audiophile Dexterity Helped You in Your "Other" Life? Since I do some DIY, I have improved my soldering and fabrication skilz. My understanding of electronics has also increased, though I admit, not a lot. That translates over to other things in 'real' life. | |
| Aric Audio and my system nice | |
| Aric Audio @subterranean6 Have you been able to compare it to any other phono stages? I have a Modwright PH9.0 and been thinking hard on the Transcend. I use Hashimoto HM-7s. @aricaudio Aric are you still going to offer the Transcend MM only? | |
| Tradeoffs of external phono stages? Separates. You can’t pack a $3k phono stage into a $3k pre. I thought my system was great until I got a good dedicated phono stage. All my records were like remasters! Phono stage is the heart of your vinyl system. My phono stage (Modwright P... | |
| Aric Audio @michaellent Do you have the Transcend MM phono stage? I been eyeballing it for a while now. Not sure it would be an upgrade or lateral move compared to the Modwright PH9.0. | |
| MM Phono Stages With Greater Than 40 dB of Gain? You can email Darlington Labs and order an MP-7 with higher gain. It's listed as +40db but I believe I've heard of customers ordering 42-44db. My EAR 834 clone is pretty close to my Modwright which is supposed to be 56db. | |

| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @thermionicemission I looked at Clearaudio too. I think you need to research the arms to see which combo is better. Was very close to getting a Concept when the VPI popped up for sale. I think at this level, arms make the difference. | |
| Zesto Andros II with ESP vs Modwright PH 9.0 XT? I have the PH9.0. Probably going to upgrade to the X. I like the separate PS. Don't really like that it's a hybrid but the reviews convinced me. If I had the cash, I might have gone with the Andros II. Better loading selection, not sure it's ... | |
| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? I always wanted a Linn, but passed mainly because of the endless upgrades. I went another wish list TT: VPI Prime. Despite what others may say, it's rock solid-set and forget. Clearaudio, EAT, and SOTA were also on the radar. | |
| TT cable question I have no ground wires and I have no issues. YMMV | |
| What new gear have you just bought? Yesterday I finished an EAR 834 clone (black board). Sounds great! Not going to replace my Modwright PH9.0 but would be a nice back up if I hadn't butchered the chassis! | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... Ain't life grand? One more upgrade path! |
