What's a decent, current used transport? Oh, the last thing is that I would like to limit it to SS devices. | |
Phono preamp evolution Any of you guys (gals) try a Plinius Jarrah? And if so how it compared to some of these others? | |
Small - but GOOD - active speakers for MC Thanks Marco. I'd heard ATC was pricey but I didn't realize how much so for the actives. I think M&K might be more in my target range. And even at that, used. | |

Small - but GOOD - active speakers for MC Hmm, any idea where one could get ATC actives here in the U.S.? I'm in the greater Philadelphia area. | |
Opinions on lower priced digital that can compete Tplavas, what were your thoughts on the Signal Silver? | |
Opinions on lower priced digital that can compete Great input from the gang here, as I expected. :-) There are a bunch of good folks on the 'gon. To help further, I have two places where I need a decent digital cable. The first will go from my Marantz DV9500 to my heavily modified EAD mutlichanne... | |
Opinions on lower priced digital that can compete I've heard much about the Stereovox, Tvad, but there are some reports on AA suggesting it may be a little lean. But that may have been more so for the HDXV. | |
Sound of Pass Labs xono preamp in 2 versions I spoke with Pass this morning.Curious, did they also tell you that there is no sonic difference between the two styles of PS? | |
One hum problem solved, another remains Update: I disconnected the CATV line and heard no real improvement. So I took the next (what should have been the first) step and disconnected / reconnected all my line level cables. I'm assuming it must have been this, because now the buzzing (it... | |
Sound of Pass Labs xono preamp in 2 versions Lornoah, I can't answer for the Xono, but the issue is the same for the Pass preamps. I the case of the preamps I spoke to Wayne at Pass Labs (I have the X1 with the smaller chassis PS). Wayne told me there is no performance or sound quality diffe... | |
One hum problem solved, another remains Riffer, where did you get one? | |
One hum problem solved, another remains Amandarae, I'm using PAD Venustas from the pre to the amp. These are very well shielded. But, I am using unshielded Kimber KCAG from the phono pre to the pre. I can replace these as a test with shielded ICs. But if it was coming from this area I s... | |
One hum problem solved, another remains Boa, John, I have a Van Alstine FetValve, which is a tube hybrid. But the driving stage is FET (not tube), and I never heard this in the other room. In this room there is a lot more stuff, including my HT setup (such as it is). I've heard that ana... | |
Analogue Synergy....Which is the best Cartridge? I mean, look at Van Alstine-his gear is great sounding, well made, reliable and very seldom seen on the used market.You're talking to someone who owns a FetValve 550EXR, and won't replace it for anything at 2-3 times its price, even if I wanted to... |
