Are you hearing more of the fine details of what is recorded versus the sensation of live sound?From what I have observed, an LP that is not closely bonded to a wel... | |

| pro-ject tube box 2, vincent pho-8, jasmine LP2mk2 Sbrownnw, The Jasmine is great out of the box. The other beauty of it is the circuitry is a nice clean design and there is ample space to make upgrades. For $25, purchase 2 Jantzen Superior Z-caps, 1 UF. They lift the veil from the music. | |
| Calling all owners - Jasmine LP 2.0 MKII Sbrownw, The product sells under both Jasmine and Salience. My guess is that it depends on the initial marketplace and the US customers get what filters through. Salience means prominent and Jasmine means climbing.What should be most important to ... | |
