| Phono stage matching - how critical Which MM/MI do you prefer, Lewm? Just curious. | |
| Ortofon's new A95 - titanium SLM cartridge The rebuild of the A90 by Ortofon is complete. Little more than the SLM body and connectors are reused. In essence, you end up with a brand new A90, furnished with a new serial number. I had mine done a year ago; it turned out better than the orig... | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? Who would argue with "inferrior period"? | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? Uh, right. I think he already knows that his present amp is compatible with his present preamp. | |
| Where to find uni din protractor I have a lot of sympathy for those who have had bad experiences with dentonarm/Daniel. This kind of thing should not occur. On the other side of the ledger, though, I've bought a UNI-pro and UNI-P2S from him and my transactions went off without a ... | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? That should say 16.5K balanced for the Brystons. Please excuse the typo. | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? Hi Lecram,One thing to consider in making your decision, of course, is impedance matching between your Jadis preamp and the Bryston 28B-SST2. From what I can gather, the JPS2 has an output impedance of 1.5K ohms. The 28B has an input impedance of ... | |
| Ortofon Anna or Transfuration Proteus? Since you seem to like SPUs, have you considered the new Ortofon 95th Anniversary? It is really good, and shares some of the technology of the Anna and A90. I have an SPU Royal GMII, which I've liked a lot for years; the A95 is a definite step up.... | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection Count me among them. Very interesting, Atmasphere. | |
| Zesto vs K & K phono stages That's a great point, John. Mine was from around 2009. No doubt Kevin has improved upon what was already a very fine phono stage. He's a wonderful person to work with, too, smart and honest. | |
| Zesto vs K & K phono stages Gain isn't an issue with the Allnics (I have an H-3000). The built-in SUTs add gain to the 38 db of MM input gain, which means at least 70 db for MC carts at the 40x winding. Allnic's approach is a little different from most phono stages, more lik... | |
| Acurus A250 I had one of those back in the early '90s, along with the matching preamp; it was a true bargain in its day. I passed them both along to a friend and they're still in use. The phono stage from that series was also quite good for the money. | |
| Psvane KT88 tubes in VAC amps Dr_John, After a few months of burn-in, how's the all-Psvane tube complement sounding in your VAC?I'm thinking about rolling the 6SN7 tubes in my 300.1a, looking for a little more body and warmth without sacrificing the crystalline clarity of the ... | |
| Ortofon as309s or sme m2-12r Like I said above, I haven't heard the Ortofons and they certainly have a lots of happy users. My SME M2-12R (with an upgraded phono cable; the supplied one is not so good) holds its own next to a Triplanar VIIuii and Phantom Supreme in my system.... | |
| Ortofon as309s or sme m2-12r Doesn't the Ortofon arm use the grub screw on the pillar method for VTA adjustments, in which you loosen the screw and manually slide the pillar up and down? To me, that's not very convenient. I prefer methods that are mechanically controlled for ... |
