| please help! which turntable , michell gyro se ,, pro ject rpm 10 carbon ,, avid diva 2 ? Your P10 is a power conditioner or regenerator, different. Most phonostages have a power supply built in them, mine does too, but i added a beefier outboard supply. What is your budget for a phonostage? | |
| please help! which turntable , michell gyro se ,, pro ject rpm 10 carbon ,, avid diva 2 ? They had a deal going for the table/arm and Ortofon Quintet Black cartridge going for $3500. It would take a phonostage with around 65db of gain to go with that. I'm using an Audionet PAM G2 with Audionet EPS G2 power supply. Which is overkill fo... | |
| please help! which turntable , michell gyro se ,, pro ject rpm 10 carbon ,, avid diva 2 ? I've had the pleasure of owning the Michell, several Avid's, VPI's, Regas and many more. Nothing I've owned, offers the sound, build, cost for package the the EAT C-Sharp with arm does. Plus its gorgeous looking. | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? Go with the BAT either 52se or 42se tube or ss I've owned both and they are great, quiet, and reliable. | |
| Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7 A couple years ago i got to hear the 3.7s with the Hegel integrated. Sound was great, it's what I would go for. | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable At the bottom of your budget i like the signal cable offerings either copper or silver. At the top, the Audioquest Carbon is good. | |

| VPI Prime Scout vs Transrotor Max I just replaced a VPI HRX with an EAT C-Sharp table/arm combo for $3k new. It looks and works amazing and sonics are equal to the VPI. Another option you may want to check out. | |
| 1K sleeper MC cart? I own two med to high output cartridges that sound really nice. Benz Micro Ace SM, and Soundsmith Carmen MKII. Both are in the $1k range or less. | |
| 1K sleeper MC cart? I've had both a Dynavector XV1-S, and Benz LPS done by Soundsmith. Both time results were the same, as good as new. I think if you search here and other places you will find many others who also had great results. | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 I’ve owned the Michell with SME V arm, also Bryston BLP-1, both are nice. The SME arm being the deciding factor as to the Gyro being better. All that said, the EAT C-SHARP with arm for $3k is a better table to me. The package deal with Ortofon Qui... | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used The Kubala-sosna's are very good power cords. For less the DH labs Red Wave or reference line from signal cable. | |
| cartridge repair....repair service center needed I've had two cartridges done by sound-smith.com both came back sounding like the cartridge did new. One went 2 years before i sold it and was still fine. The other is at 1.5 years and sounds wonderful. | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? I've heard many $1k a pair speakers. None I have heard have blown me away like the Elac Uni-fi uf5. Crazy good speakers! |
