| review iPhono 2 I will check out Interstellar. I also have "Hans Zimmer - The Classics" and some of the theme music from Interstellar is on this album. You're in for a surprise, shock when and if you add a LPS. | |
| review iPhono 2 Correction: "Hans Zimmer Live in Prague". Sorry Hans, autocorrect. | |
| review iPhono 2 James1969:Absolutely, the iPower is a very good supply especially for a SMPS, but it does not compete with the 20 something pound linear regulated pyramid supply which uses an EI transformer. Due to the air gap in their design, EI tranformers are ... | |
| review iPhono 2 So back to the topic lf my thread, how many have actually used a linear power supply with your iPhono 2 and what are your thoughts? I was listening to an album I recently purchased "Hans Zimmerman Live in Prague", it was spectacular!I've considere... | |
| review iPhono 2 Forgive my typos please, too early and I need coffee. | |
| review iPhono 2 I'm going to correct myself. At 72dB with a 200mv output the iPhono 2 should be able to handle a .05mv cart. I sometimes revert back to my old passive pre (MFA Reference) days and forget I'm running an active gain stage these days. That is plenty ... | |
| review iPhono 2 Also, if you have all these other phono stages/SUT's/ head amps than can handle your MC 2000 and you clearly don't like the iPhono, why again, I ask are you on this site asking if it can handle that cartridge? Everything about your delivery reads... | |
| review iPhono 2 I started this thread to share my experiences with a superlative phono stage that has upstaged units costing near $10k because it is nice to be able to get that type of performance on the cheap. If you want to discuss a handful of issues some may ... | |
| review iPhono 2 They have sold literally thousands of these things, I've owned one since the 1st gen and I've not had a problem. I am not saying a problems can't exist. I am just going to come out and say it. You seem suspect. You come on this thread to talk abou... | |
| review iPhono 2 Chakster:You ask if it can handle a .05mv cart. The website clearly states the iPhono 2 can provide up to 72db which is a factor of 3,981.07. This comes to an output voltage of 199.05mv. So, 2/10's of a volt output. I'd consider that low and opt f... | |
| review iPhono 2 I see. Most likely you are just hearing the low level noise inherent in most systems, could be at the amp level or component level. I seriously doubt a battery would do anything to get rid of what you are describing. | |
| review iPhono 2 James1969:I have never found a battery to be superior or on-par to the grid (unless you are using deep cycle marine batteries on some devices like turntables), you lose dynamics in a lot of cases. In the case of my former MSB Power Dac Gold the ba... | |
| review iPhono 2 The AMR PH77 is better. | |
| review iPhono 2 Chakster:I wanted to add add that if I came off as sounding a bit harsh, I apologize. Of course anyone is free to say what they please about any product and if in fact their is a real problem inside iFi or any other company which is not being addr... | |
| review iPhono 2 I did read the whole thing. My point is any company can have a bad batch. A supplier can ship a bad batch of caps as has happened to some very prominent amplifier manufacturers, it is how they handle the the situation that counts. PS Audio had a ... |
