| Step Up Transformer Question Don't get too caught up on loading. I don't unless there is a huge mismatch. MC carts don't generally react to capacitance so I don't worry about that either. I use DH Labs Pro Studio cable hard wired on my VPI terminated with AECO RCAs on the... | |
| What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself? Modwright PH9.0 X/T upgrades. | |
| Happy Holidays to All Happy Holidays and be safe! | |
| Step Up Transformer Question They came mounted in a chassis; the listing said it was a custom job for an audio shop. Didn't like the long wires so decided to re-do the chassis. I decided to wire up all three taps, 3, 24, and 40ohm so I put them in a box I made with stuf... | |
| Step Up Transformer Question I had Ned Clayton Cinemag 1254s for a while and it was pretty close to my Hashimoto HM-7s. The 1254s are a couple of steps down from Bob's SKY. Now I'm running some James Audio SUTs that I got for half the price of the Hashimotos and I'd be hard... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 Modwright PH9.0? Just over $5k with X/T upgrades but good stock. | |
| Effects of concrete as base for subs, speakers and potentially equipment I went to the countertop place and got scrap granite and marble to use under my speakers. I thought it helped. | |
| How good is good enough? It's good enough when you hit your limits: Room and credit | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome Darlington Labs MP-7 IMO the best mm phono stage under $1000. If you go MC you can pick up a SUT later or get their SU-7. Another great option is the EAR834 clone. | |
| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? If I had to start over: Rega P3 (upgradeable) $1300 Audio Technica OC9 or ART9 $700-1500 Darlington Labs MP-7/SU-7 (or favorite SUT) $1000+ This is actually pretty close to what I used to have. | |
| phono preamp to power amp If you're only fooling around and doing some configuration testing the Pyle 999 is ok for like $16. I used one while my phono stage was back at the mother ship being upgraded. If you are all vinyl, I would save up and get a really good phono s... | |

| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? I always thought 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 was a good starting point. That way, there should be no bottlenecks or weak links and hopefully each component should be bringing out the best of the other. A $1500 TT, cart, and phono stage, I think is a great sta... | |
| phono preamp to power amp My amp also has a volume and I go directly in. Well I do use a switch box but same same. |
