| Whats the best Cartridge for a bright Pro-ject 9 ? Can anyone recommend a good phono pre amp? Almost anything will be an upgrade to the MF X-LPSv3. I found that it lacked any sense of warmth, three dimensional soundstage or lifelike realism when compared to an EAR 834P, Wright WPP100c, WPP200c, an... | |
| Still working on choosing a power amp 07-21-08: DougdubinBob, The Rogue Perseus has an Output Impedance of 450 Ohms. Does that mean the input inpedance of the power amp should be 4500 ohms? So, for example the Mcintosh line of SS amps have an input impedance of 10,000 ohms... therefor... | |
| Tube phono preamp help please. Bottlehead Seduction with 36 dB gain is very well regarded in the $500 or less range. Your Ortofon 2M Red with 5.5 mV output will match with it fine. Check the forums: Bottlehead Seduction Phono Stage question | |
| Best way to add remote volume control to tube pre. I agree with Rodman about the Creek remote units. I used one briefly between my source and amps and found it wasn't as invisible as I wanted it to be. A Placette would be a much better option. | |
| Rega Phono Mini or....? When I was getting back into vinyl, I tried a bunch of entry level phono stages. Some were quieter than others, but I didn't find a substantial difference between them. IMO, they all sounded somewhat similar. You might want to check out this TNT r... | |
| Minimax Preamp vs........the world? Robbob, can you give us an update on the Metis? How does it sound? I'd also like to know how noisy it is. It seems to have a reputation: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1208489647 | |
| $300 used preamp to match my rotel? Dynaco Pas 3http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1218567363http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preatube&1220829043 | |
| Need help deciding which power amp to buy. In reviews and shows where Carl has set up this model, I've seen references to deHavilland Aries 845-G: http://www.nolaspeakers.com/reviews/6moons.com/HE2003_wrapup.htmlahh... but they're more than 5k and not balanced... never mind. | |
| EAR 834p no mod vs Jolida jd9 level 2 mod I'm interested in how these compare as well, but we may not find anyone who has heard both. The Jolida with mods isn't nearly as common as the 834P. | |
| Rega P25-best upgrade Winoguy17, you may have been kidding, but I feel the need to stick up for Audiofeil. Dealers often get a bad rap, but there's nothing wrong with selling equipment you believe in. He also contributes a great deal to the forums. If you look through ... | |
| Denon DL-103 vs. DL-160? James, the compliance remains the same. The weight difference plays a minor role in the final resonant frequency. Plug the numbers in and you'll see. | |
| Rega P25-best upgrade Here's another vote for the Tecnoweight. It was the single most substantial upgrade I did to my RB300. | |
| Next step up from NAD- PP2 In my experience, entry-level units like NAD, Parasound and Musical Fidelity sound painfully two dimensional and lifeless when compared to moderately-priced tube-based phono stages. In particular, I'm thinking about a $600 Wright WPP100C and a $65... | |
| Need help from ALON V 's owners. The telltale difference between MkII and MkIII is the grill. The MkIII has a Vandersteen-type sock over the top. The MkII has a removable grill: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?rspkr&1038375059If you like the Alon sound, you'll love t... | |
| Upgrade RB300 Tonearm or Not? I'd like to get an objective, non-hostile, opinion of an RB300 with Tecnoweight, Incognito and VTA sleeve. Obviously some folks in this forum don't like the RB300. I understand it has weaknesses like the bearing, but all things considered, how doe... |
