| High quality step down transformer I use a Lite Fuse that I purchased New off ebay to power a Jadis dac that runs off 220. It works so well never bothered with getting the dac wired to 110. There is a formula to follow and what it is I forget , hopefully someone will chime in, some... | |
| is the Grace F9L cartridge. equal to the newest MM, like Ortofon, Clearaudio, Rega, etc? The L stands for Luminus Trace Stylus, which I have no experience with but it should be very similar in sound signature to the F9E and F9 Ruby which are my favorite Moving Magnet carts, owned them in the 70s and still own a F9R just rebuilt by Sou... | |
| Preamps-Tube My ears always seem to prefer tube preamps and Phono stages that use tube rectification in their power supply, bear in mind this is within an apples to apples price range point. | |

| Turntable Recommendation 15K budget Avid Acutus, Brinkmann, Oracle, Nottingham,, I am with stringreen, why is VPI not even a consideration, the HRX and the new Avenger would fit your price restraints and should at least be considered amongst the quality decks you mentioned. | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? You need to figure out how you can get a new dac and keep smoking, that seems to be the better question and by almeans do not Bogart that joint my friend. | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? I agree with jmcgrogan2, I would go with a tube line stage but if could add another tube it would be the phono and then the amps which I find to be the easiest to replace with solid state. | |
