| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? I just buy records now. | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? For about ten minutes while I shower and brush my teeth. | |
| Any phono preamps with volume control? Icon Audio | |
| Warm sounding phono cartridge Maybe try an elliptical? I had a Dynavector Karat with an elliptical that was 'fat' or full sounding. If a phono stage doesn't have 'headroom' sometimes the pops and clicks don't attenuate well. I agree with the other poster: if after cleaning ... | |
| Final Analog Upgrades @jrcotner Darlington Labs or I would keep an eyeball out for a used Tavish Adagio. When you talked to Modwright, did she mention Dan was working on a hybrid? I saw it mentioned on their IG a while back. | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge @richardbrand I think the Shibata sounded 'fatter,' closer to an elliptical like a 2M Blue I had. Never tried the ML. I upgraded right after to a OC9XSL and thought it sounded thin by comparison. I never thought the SH lacked in highs though.... | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge Try a Shibata. I used a 750SH and liked it. Ortofon 2M Black or Sumiko Amethyst? | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement When I first got serious in early 2000s I adhered to the theory about simplifying the signal path. I was running push/pull and instead went SET. I now have an amp with Kohzmo attenuator, a switch box for my two sources, a phono stage, SUT. I DI... | |
| Question about loading with an SUT I use five different carts and use one SUT currently wired at 1:10. | |
| Where's the next weak link in my analog chain? MC cart in the $1k+ range. | |
| Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 Phono. Where do I go from here? @johnfritter Can't go wrong with the Modwright! The upgrades do take it to another level. I upgraded tubes to some Reflector and Siemens 6922. There's a good thread here on the rectifier, but I didn't really notice any big differences rolling... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? I built the Analog Ethos 2A3 Legendarium kit. Perry is very helpful and the instructions are easy to follow. Along with the instructions is a section explaining how it works. Good parts, I didn’t feel the need to upgrade anything but the coupli... | |
| Slee Reflex M vs Schiit Mani 2 vs Fidler Spartan 15 Look at Darlington Labs | |
| Turntable upgrade I agree the bottleneck is the Fono. Get the best phono stage in your budget. The P6 is a nice table and a good phono stage will make it rock! I didn't know the Ania was bonded! An elliptical is good but I would try a Micro Line or something ... | |
| Load Settings Help: Luxman E-250 and Koetsu Black Line Capacitance doesn’t matter. Use whatever settings that sound good to you, but try at least 30 ohm or more. |
