| Which Pre Phono between Dynavector XX2 and AN M3 Sonofjim, hsince you brought up the RIAA accuracy: JLTI +/- 0.1dB from 10Hz to 50KHzXOno +/- 0.1dB from 20Hz to 20KHzNot like I think this is the only important parameter though... | |
| Which Pre Phono between Dynavector XX2 and AN M3 Personally, I prefer the Vacuumstate JLTi and Pass XOno to the EAR and AQVox by quite a bit. The JLTI and XOno do have so much more detail and dynamic compared to the EAR. I fell the EAR would be holding back your otherwise excellent analog set-up... | |
| Need dynamic DAC I second Peter_s' opinion on the Benchmark vs. the MHDT DACs. The Benchmark is one of the most dynamic DACs in that price range. It is a little on the dry side, but in my tube system it is an excellent match. Get the USB or Pre version of the Benc... | |
| Can good speakers take edge off digital? It really is all in your digital source. What DAC or CDP are you using?A pair of Druids would probably highlight any digital problems more (than the fairly warm sounding Quads). | |
| Phono stage match for Koetsu I agree with the last suggestion, the Pass XOno should be a excellent match to the Koetsu as well. I have been running the XOno with an Allaerts which has some similar characteristics and it is a perfect balance of lushness, detail, texture and dy... | |
| Phono stage with volume control? This one is made by same person designing the Art Audio Reference phonostage. Lots of good comments here:K&K maxxed-out kitAlso, I would suggest a Shindo Aurieges MM full function preamp + a Cinemag step-up transformers (although that may push... | |
| Phono stage match for Koetsu The impedance of the Koetsu is pretty low at 5 Ohm so that it should at least electrically match the Shindo preamps (Monbrison, Massetto) which feature a MC input designed for low impedance cartridges. The best people to talk to are Matt at Pitchp... | |
| Sumiko Blackbird, Shindo and EAR Very interesting, Restock...are you basically saying that you do not think the blackbird optimizes the capabilities of the shindo? thanks.Ggavetti, the Blackbird should work well into the MM input (as it is a high output MC which is designed for M... | |
| Sumiko Blackbird, Shindo and EAR Ggavetti, glad to hear the MM is improving the sound.One more correction:The Shindo MC input by its nature is designed for very low impedance cartridges (examples are the Miyabi and Shindo SPU), but of course these two are not the only ones. There... | |
| Sumiko Blackbird, Shindo and EAR Play it where it sounds the best.Well - most likely a cartridge that is designed for a 47KOhm load and 40dB gain cannot sound good into a 20 Ohm load and 66dB gain. The Shindo MC input really only works well with a handful of cartridges (Shindo SP... | |
| Power Cord for Raven One I would suggest a basic Volex power cord for about $15.I changed back to this basic powercord from Audience, Blue Circle and some others and am not really missing anything and some things (e.g. coherence, neutrality) even improved. | |
| Sumiko Blackbird, Shindo and EAR Ggavetti, shouldn't the Blackbird be connected into the MM input? The Blackbird is a high output MC that is designed to be connected to an MM input with 47KOhm loading and lower gain.From the Stereophile review:Like the Sumiko Blue Point Special, ... | |
| Sumiko Blackbird, Shindo and EAR Are your running the Blackbird directly into your MM input on the Monbrison? | |
| Shindo Latour vs Verity vs DeVore ..etc I did hear all the speakers you mentioned in complete Shindo systems, albeit only for a short time, different rooms, and different amps.All the speakers you mention excel at detail, especially in the context of a Shindo system. The Devore Super 8 ... | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution I would like to see this thread come to life...I agree - I find the journey of what people with similar tastes have tried not only interesting but extremely helpful in developing my own tastes and finding my own direction. At least this is why I s... |
