| Review of Quadratic MC-1 SUT With Comparisons to Other SUTs @mulveling I have to say, I’m really disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm and engagement on this thread following all the efforts and truly useful listening comparisons you’ve conducted and decided to share. This should be the essence of what t... | |
| It’s all a matter of degree Am I reading this correctly - Build a system around 4 or 5 fuses as your system's core? This takes precedence over matching speakers with amplification? Maybe that's not what you meant. | |
| Want to make sure I have the correct settings for my phono pre-amp It seems you've been wrestling with this since March 2021? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/settings-for-the-jolida-phono-preamp-jd9-ii These specs seem a bit odd to me. 60dB gain is usually for a MC cart with output around 0.5mV. 36-42d... | |
| Want to make sure I have the correct settings for my phono pre-amp I’d also try the 300ohm impedance setting on the pre. I have a Hana SL and it seems to like something very close to 400ohms in my systems. 1K may sound a tad too zippy depending on the the rest of your gear. Easy to try and let your ears be the gu... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes I replaced the stock Sovtek EL84's in my Leben CS-300xs with Tungsram's that I picked up from Upscale Audio. Nice upgrade. https://upscaleaudio.com/products/tungsram-6bq5-el84-branded-ei | |
| It’s all a matter of degree 😂🤣 | |
| It’s all a matter of degree @yoyoyaya Refreshing post. There was actually a poster who several months ago asserted that he derived 90% of his sonic gains and listening pleasure from tweaks. Apparently to some, a wonderfully designed circuit or amazing speaker design just ... | |
| Review of Quadratic MC-1 SUT With Comparisons to Other SUTs @mulveling Really fantastic review! It’s great to hear from someone who has listened to so many SUTs head to head and reflect on the experience. As @tomic601 indicated, it’s refreshing beyond words to read such a fair and balanced assessment which... | |
| “This discussion is closed” On that basis there will be dozens of threads to close. | |
| Double posts Perhaps the Agon algorithm picked up on a pattern over the past 20 year. People enjoy posting the same topics over and over and constantly rehashing old ground. The Agon machine is simply attempting to give the people what they seem to crave 😉 | |
| It’s all a matter of degree @mahgister A method is not a sum of "tweaks".... Very succinct and spot on! Some here espouse adding a tweak to get to level 1, and then continually piling on tweak upon tweak to elevate your system even further. A more holistic approach make... | |
| More news on the Herron Line Stage Interesting comparison and personal anecdote. I've heard good things about both line stages. | |
| More news on the Herron Line Stage Congrats on your improvement! What were you using prior to the Herron? | |
| It’s all a matter of degree Some people simply crave the obsession of doing something, anything as the experimentation is half the joy and that's totally fine obviously. Do whatever you enjoy. The "project" is much of the joy for folks on this board, regardless of the outc... | |
