| Question on phono input noise levels I know this is a late post. Put did you try running a ground cable from the TT to the P5/6 phono ground. Or just getting a stand alone phono amp and running a ground cable to the P5/6 chassis? I had a hiss and hum problem with my P6 so I ran a gr... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just got 10,000 Maniacs MTV Unplugged for Christmas will open clean and listen to today | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use Sorry I ment to post this earlier. I was actually using an older RCA cable I had laying around for the DACs I was trying to the RP-1(I had a new BlueJean cable on the way). So I swapped out the cables from my phono amp to the RP-1. OK now I can he... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use I’m sorry I made a mistake. I heard no difference between the Schiit Bifrost original model and the Bluesound Vault 2 DAC. NOT the Emotiva. I did hear a difference with the Topping D90SE. I’m guessing there’s not much difference between the Bifro... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use Added the Topping D90SE, hard to put what I hear or don’t hear into words. I guess you can say it seems pretty neutral with all kinds of music (at least the music listen to). I especially notice when I listen at louder levels. Got a GREAT price on... | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? I’ve now spent several months with the Rogue also added a Topping D90SE DAC (got a good price from a friend). Thanks everyone for the advice and suggestions especially soix the explanation about passive preamps really helped. Anyone have any advic... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use Just wondering if my speakers could be the limiting factor here? They are not very efficient AV123 Strata Mini's. | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use No, jbuhl. Before the RP-1 the DAC from the Oppo 105 was an improvement from a Pioneer Elite rcvr on board DAC a Cambridge DAC magic then a Sherbourn PT-7030 preamp on board DAC and a Schiit Bifrost original DAC, in that order. After replacing the... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use I am using BlueJean Cables throughout (speakers digital and RCA). I even switched from optical to coax out on the vault. Still can't really hear a difference. Let me correct the part about can't hear a difference. I can hear a slight difference n... | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use I am using BlueJean cables throughout (speaker, sub, coax/optical and RCA) | |
| Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use The difference between the Emotiva XMC-1 in Reference mode and the RP-1 WAS IMMEDIATELY apparent. A friend of mine compared the Vault DAC output to Oppo 205, he also didn't notice much of a difference we have the same speakers and sub. Maybe I nee... | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? I purchased a Rogue RP-1 (thanks Mike/chedga, great guy would buy from him anytime, he even included a pair of Philco 1956 NOS tubes-haven’t tried them yet), and borrowed a Schiit Bifrost 1. Loving my 2 channel audio even more. My daughter got me ... | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? I'm probably going to go with a Rogue RP-1 and Schiit Bifrost 2 DAC. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and preamp info | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? Streaming is actually something I am not interested in. I have about 850 albums on my music server. I've tried Tidal and Qobuz and barely used either one, no interest in checking out new music (I NEVER listen to the radio I have all the music I li... | |
| New preamp or up grade my cartridge and or phono amp? Thanks for the info soix. Any suggestions on a good preamp with HT capabilities other than the Rogue RP-1 or RP-5. I’m thinking the Parasound Hint P6 would put me in the circumstances as the Emotiva just w/out the HT stuff |
