| Steely Dan Aja cover It was outtake of the cover photo shoot. The red and white are part of the kimono/happi coat/robe the model is wearing. It extends along the front were it opens. It also looks like it trims the end of the sleeve. Her face BTW is almost full fron... | |

| Step Up Transformer Question I would just go with a Ned Clayton 1254 until you figure out what's what. You may find out that a SUT is not for you or not much better than the one you have. The 1254s are good and fairly inexpensive. Ned makes them with 4 settings so you can ... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 BTW, I don't want to come off as Chinook bashing. I'm sure its a fine phono stage. Back at the turn of the century, Manley was a big deal! Something I could only wish for. This time around, now that could actually afford it, I wanted it to mak... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 @lewm Was either here or SHF. Maybe the also a speaker forum(maybe Polk?), can’t remember which. The one I remember the most mentioned that the Chinook was noisy. Just google Chinook vs. Modwright PH9.0. You may find it often compared to the Rogue... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 @samzx12 Check out the Modwright PH9.0 tube rolling thread too. Good advice and reviews there. I don't run the stock Sovteks. I did both upgrades at the same time so I cannot really attest to how much the tube rectifier did to the sound. May... | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 @samzx12 Turnaround was less than a week for both. | |
| Manley Chinook SE MK2 @samzx12 I didn't want to say for I have no experience with the Manley, but when I was researching it was almost unanimous that the Modwright was better. I just did the X/T upgrades and it does take it to a whole different level; soundstage and... | |

| 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. | |

| 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. |
