| Purple Heart = Purple Rain? @tablejockey thanks so much , this helps...I have had my eye on the AT ART-9 for quite a while ...and I'm hesitant to do a trade in deal with Ortofon due to the Quintet Black crapping out after 23 months...I noticed Audio Technica original ART-9 d... | |
| Purple Heart = Purple Rain? @big_greg :Kron doesn't offer much of a warranty other than if you have a problem come back to me & 100% won't cover any stylus issue because you can always point to user error , so thats a big gamble for me. I wish there was a way to audition... | |

| Manley Snapper Triode Switch/600 ohm switchable? man , do you have an engineer in room to operate everything ..? Must take about 5 minutes to turn on everything... :) Wait , stay away from Russian tubes...? Aren't Tung Sol Russian? thanks for the info ! | |
| Manley Snapper Triode Switch/600 ohm switchable? Thanks buddy , wow, your rig is frighteningly cool . Just picked up the Snappers with Triode switch....guessing thats the tighter/punchier feel? Other is more relaxed....Thanks for the XLR tip...on it...What tubes do you recommend? thanks | |

| EQ Thats affordable of course the MiniDSP team has recommend the SHD model , 32 Bit converters , 120 SNR and very low THD...The "audiophile" model ...$1100 ...I dont need all the room correction / streaming stuff ...already have room correction system with my amp....... | |
| EQ Thats affordable so I ordered the MiniDSP Balanced last night , I'll probably just also order the HD version as well & see what makes the most sense , send the other back...the balanced miniDSP needs 2 adapter cables for my system...1. Turntable-Phonostage RCA... | |
| EQ Thats affordable so am I understanding the chain correctly - Turntable - phonstage - MiniDSP XLR (so I 'd need an adapter from RCA to XLR ) and then into my amp?and my MacBook goes into USB of MiniDSPthanks ! | |
| EQ Thats affordable So my main listening is : turntable-phonostage-lyngdorf 2170 ( which does digital conversion) is the balanced still best for that ? Pardon my lack of understanding 😊 | |
| EQ Thats affordable Which MINIDSP model do you guys recommend? , I don’t have a DAC , I use Mac PowerBook pro to run files ...VPI prime scout Turntable for LPs...I was thinking the MINIDSP HD and pragmasi suggested the “balanced” model ...not sure why? Thanks | |
| EQ Thats affordable The Lyngdorf has a grouping of "presets" that don't really suit me..I'd like more control....thanks |
