| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive @soix The review of the Allnic is very positive, but no balance out and class A tube phono stage with just 8" space per shelf in my rack wouldn't do. @johnss The VTL TP 6.5 has great reviews.. The newer version is $$$ @ghdprentice I've re... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive @avanti1960 I used a lower gain setting when I first setup the Sutherland and preferred the higher gain setting, but I took your advice and lowered the gain and at this point after many hours of breaking the lower gain sounded better and the sou... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive @rmdmoore @audphile1 That Brinkmann Audio Bardo Performance Edition is sure a beautiful piece and you might be right about upgrading table/arm/cartridge, but I'm going to hold off on that due to funds and concentrate on reducing cartridge vibr... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive I never heard the cartridge. I purchased based on reviews. I just don't see the point of auditioning with different speakers, etc.. I really was intending to start small and things got out of hand, The only pieces of equipment I purchased by a... | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive My concern with tubes is the problem that I'm having with cartridge vibration... worried about the tube microphonics. | |
| Phono Preamplifier Redux .. Damn This is Getting Expensive The heavy wood rack is part of my effort to get the bass under control, as well as a large heavy padded rug, full size low back sofa and nine large bass traps. I need to reduce the transfer of energy to the cartridge and other components.. I suppo... | |
| Antivirus protection for dedicated music server like SGC Sonictransporter? Maybe with the correct router with router antivirus. | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... Cecile McLorin Salvant One of the best..and very much alive. Try "Dreams and Daggers"..well recorded live ...a Demo record for sure.. Margo Timmins ..another classic live recording with one stereo mike, "The Trinity Session" but Cecile is i... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value So many wow moments. Every component, interconnect and room treatment made a difference and some not so subtle. My biggest surprise was how much clean power matters. I took a big (for me) financial gamble and went with the advice of my salespers... | |
| Analog vs. digital I previously reported vinyl>>digital, but I just got a Holo May DAC DTE , AQ Earth balanced interconnects & Synology DS1522+ with fast SSD cache, fiber optic ethernet feeding my streamer. I've been streaming ripped CDs and purchased dow... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? As mentioned above, I've ripped all my CDs and put them on shuffle..just over 100 hours of material. I just received a Holo May DAC and wow..what an upgrade from my McIntosh MA12000 DAC. The ripped CDs sound so musical. Everything about the pre... | |
| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? I’ve spent a few months putting together a system in a 121/2x23x10’ room. I added a pair of REL S/812 to a speaker that covered all but the lowest octave. My subs cross over around 25-30hz and volume is set to 1/4 of full volume and my phono cartr... | |
| Sound quality of Roon I did not expect Roon to sound great during a trial. I just wanted it to be responsive, so prior to my trial I installed a 10th gen i7/ssd NUC. I'm now on the path to approach the listening experience of vinyl. So, money sump, care with the lit... | |
| What Digital to Digital Converter Do You Use? Why? @soix Seeing the SU-6 review is what prompted my post. So far..responses are positive. My Holo DAC, which arrives in five days, has a configurable HDMI i2s | |
| Esoteric I must not have been around long enough to be able to message. Clicking just takes me to @digitaljoseph user profile.. |
