| Looking for a Phono pre around 1K Ifi Phono 2. Amazing piece of equipment. Music Direct gives you a 60 day tryout. Using mine for almost a year and competes with much more expensive preamps. Loads of gain and power plus a wide range of load settings. $500 retail. | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" Nandric I have no fear of trying a test record but honestly if I have a tonearm that tracks every record I own without issue with the exception of records I know to be imperfect so why would I need to resort to a test? This seems to be just anothe... | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" I've had the TriP for 7 years and I have never had a tracking problem with any record at any time. | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" That's a terrific cartridge.What is the rest of your system? How is your cartridge loaded? Gain? | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" Transfiguration Proteus | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" I have thought of it but haven't acted. I'd love to know how it comes out if you do itl | |
| review iPhono 2 I have owned the ifi Phono2 since last July. I live in a 2 bedroom condo and I am space challenged. I have a fairly expensive system although I have been using the Phono stage in my preamp for years. Having been very impressed by the original ifi ... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? Juke,probably least expensive way to find out what correct loading and gainwill mean to you is to buy or borrow an ifi 2 Phono stage. Plenty of load settings and 72db gain not to mention sound that will embarrass many Phono pres in the sub $3k. Do... | |
| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator The lampizator is one of my favorite dacs but only heard at shows. The Bricasti is killer and I have heard it a few times in home systems. Tough call. Try to hear them in home systems if you can before buying. Your home would be beat but might be... | |
| Amplifier upgrade My suggestion is to contact Mark at Reno HiFi. He is the distributor for Pass Labs nationally. He will loan you for a cc number an amp, preamp, or integrated. You can use it in your own system, the only way to make a reasonable decision. If you do... | |
| BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ???? Forget B&Ns vinyl. They are just cashing in on what they think is a hot market. I have thumbed through their titles in a Broadway store in NYC and I would say they are cheapie reissues probably from RB digital tape or CDs. Like why bother? Not... | |
| Lyra Etna Versus Kleos I'm curious why no one has mentioned the Transfiguration Proteus when recommending the Aetna cartridge. I think they are priced similarly and present a somewhat different but equally excellent sound. Unless of course the 2.0mv output is in questio... | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Socfan12,The Kronos is a great table. No question. But I don't think it's a game changer in the same sense as the Dohmann TT with vacuum hold on platter. The demo I heard at RMAF was the most transparent fastest response I can recall from an analo... | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Socfn,I got my Raven in 2008. Running latest version of Triplanar arm and Transfiguration Proteus cart. Over the years I have purchased the BN controller and motor. Also TW Mat.Mark Dohmann was Continuum. Now he is Dohmann TTs . I was never in lov... | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Hi folks,I own a TW Raven with BN Motor and Controller. Wonderful TT. Love the Kronos Flagship. Sorry, don't know the model. Yes, looks a bit more complex but I think it is solid and trouble free. Great sounding too. I know some owners. If you hav... |
