| RCA Caps I'm saturated in RF, for me the Cardas caps replaced tin foil and have reduced RF noise issues, but have not solved them entirely. | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? I find my tonearm cable to be very sensitive to magnetic fields and it's the stock cable that comes with the Technics SL-1210M5G. I have not upgraded this cable as it is decent. | |
| review iPhono 2 I enjoy Hans Zimmer as well, Interstellar is a great album.I may have to try a linear power supply now. | |
| review iPhono 2 So you are hearing better results using a Pyramid linear power supply? Can you describe what you are hearing in terms of sound quality? I thought about using a battery in place of the wall wart. | |
| Speakers: Isolation? @toddverrone they are really worth it. My system is full of them. | |
| Speakers: Isolation? The best interface I have heard is the Symposium Rollerblocks double-stacked. I've used these for monitor speakers on stands before, the change in sound is not subtle, you will get a more coherent sound, better imaging and better bass.I am using ... | |
| MC phono preamp You may want to have a look at the iFi Phono2. I'm using it now and for the money, it's fantastic. | |
| review iPhono 2 Yes I believe so. I have a battery DAC which I cannot hear the noise floor - when I turn up the volume and put my ear to the tweeter. | |
| review iPhono 2 I'm not experiencing any noise at all, just what I hear when I put my ear up to the tweeter and turn up the volume (with no material playing). I do hear a little noise. Not a very practical test, as if music were playing, the noise would not be ... | |
| review iPhono 2 @audiofun What power supply are you using for the iPhono2? I'm wondering if using a battery power supply would remove any noise I hear now? | |
| review iPhono 2 I'm using the iPhono2 with a Koetsu RSP (0.3 mV output). I also use the Lamm LP2 Deluxe phono stage. | |
| review iPhono 2 The iPhono2 is a fantastic phono stage. I just got mine a week ago, no problems for me. Very quiet, dynamic and direct. | |
| Recommedation for Phono Pre for my modest rig I"m using an iFi Phono2 now in my system. For $500 I don't think you can beat it. Fremer reviewed it on Analog Planet recently. | |
| Koetsu surprise Those lead wires were easy to install for me. They are using rhodium clips. I simply removed the stock copper lead wires and replaced them with the LW 800 S wires. Not too stiff for me. I need flexible lead wires because I am using the Cartrid... | |
| Koetsu surprise @karl_desch Try the Ortofon LW 800 S lead wires with your favorite headshell. |
