| 300b tubes burn in time? I bought the amps used, so the old ones sounded great all throughout (they must have had a few hundred hours on them at least I figure).Same brand and model of tubes. Black treasures.The other tubes should be fine (I think), since the old tubes ga... | |
| Is it still possible to upgrade an AMR DP-777 to SE? As of 6 months ago, yes, it was possible. I had contacted AMR UK they said they can send the upgrade kit for 1000 odd euros.Not sure if their USA dealer would do it though. | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Thanks Audiofun.It is really valuable input especially from a AMR DP-777 owner who understands where I am coming from.Your post more than anything is now making me consider the Technics (even though I have to buy it out of the country, no Technics... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @fsmithjack I know that you are a big Bricasti M1 fan.How does your P8/Apheta compare to your Bricasti?My Rega RP6 was almost bested by my DAC (AMR DP-777). So decided to move on from Rega and wanna try NA this time. | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I feel like someone like @jdodmead who's owned the table I am looking at, his opinion matters for sure, especially cause I am looking to buy a table that I will not change for the years to come.Glad to hear Koetsu works.@inna got it, will not both... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G thanks @jdodmead for the reference to the old thread.Looks like I will stick with the ace space arm then.Apparently the best cart to start with then is the Nagaoka. Too bad a starter Koetsu wouldn't fit this arm, it might be the sound I am looking... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I am so far based on your responses leaning towards a spacedeck.Should I get a ace-space arm or are there better tone-arms for this TT? | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Wow! Thank you for all the responses.I definitely prefer the analogue sound more than digital (the reason I liked my AMR DAC was that it was very analog sounding). But digital is important for me since most of the music I listen to cannot be found... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Hi Cal,I am awaiting your feedback on the Truth as well as I remember our experiences with the Lyngdorf were quite similar.Anyways, I just tried the combination of Lyngdorf as DAC and Pre feeding the Coincident 300b and it has been the best my sys... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @shkong78 Looking forward to your story. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. @shkong78 Do please report back with your findings. Perhaps you and I are having the same problem (speaker mismatch). | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I have had my Lyngdorf 3400 for about a month now.Its super convenient, but it has yet to wow me (except for the great bass).I don't hear the warmth, texture, and feel like I am losing the realness and palpability and you are there moment of my tu... | |
| High-end TT setup with phono stage built in Sadly, my integrated amp of choice has everything (dac, amp, preamp, streamer and room correction) but no phono preamp (this was an overlook on my part, I thought it had a phono built-in). I have gone a phase of separates everything (tube monobloc... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. I just got my 3400 delivered. Sounds great out of the box, although not as good as the used 2170 I got a home demo for (guessing it needs to be broken in).At some point will compare them to my Coincident Frankensteins Mk2. (Cal, like @charles1dad,... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 @jcarcopop I ordered mine from Neal around the same time.I think, it was your order he was mentioning while I was going through the process of mine.Neal has been great so far.I can't wait to hear the TDAI-3400 in my setup. |
