| “TAD” Tubes I tried their EL34 and straight from the box liked them better than Gold Lions. | |
| Which SUT? .... for .3mv/10 ohms MC cartridge into 3mv MM input sensitivity Air Tight SUTs have bypass for MM. | |
| Is it really worth it to get a phono stage over $10k You’ve wasted that much money on cables and you’re questioning spending money on a better phono stage? | |
| TechDAS lll experience It should be no surprise that the AF 3 and 5 look like MS, since the head of TechDAS is from MS. Stella has been around since 1989. I don’t think you need to fear them disappearing. | |
| TechDAS lll experience BTW there is a AF V Premium being released soon. | |
| TechDAS lll experience Not the AF III, but I have the V. It’s extraordinary. I feel once you go air bearing and vacuum hold down it’s impossible to go back. Very quiet table. The engineering and build quality is really something to behold. It also doesn’t get any easier... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm Or the PC7 didn’t match the $60k system? Sounds like that’s the case since the PC7 was muddled sounding. I don’t think the CAR50 sounded bad, it actually sounded great, just boring and not engaging for me. There’s nothing that was “wrong”. | |

| StylusTimer I use an app on my phone called Tally. You can have separate counters for each cartridge. | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital @tomcy6 it’s of no concern to me what you listen to. If you want to listen to inferior digital and enjoy it then great! I don’t blame anyone for listening to this lesser format as it’s a lot cheaper and easier to manage. I’ve been there myself tr... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital You're both missing the point I guess. I'm not talking about surface noise. That is what it is and nobody strives to achieve that. I'm talking about the actual reproduction of the music. My point stands, when a DAC is really good it's describe... | |
| StylusTimer Hilarious | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital There is a reason why everyone says their DACs sound analog and nobody says their turntables sound digital. | |
| Kuzma Stabi Reference vs Avid Acutus The Ref2 is a suspended table. |
