| Will anyone do a report on the RMAF??? You might want to check out the thread of Tyson and Pez's coverage of RMAF over on Audio Circle. Great coverage. A highlight for me of RMAF coverage. | |
| Tube in Preamp or Power amp? Bo, I really think you need to post a dealer disclaimer at the bottom of your posts. This is an important point of information. And I agree with Wolf and Charles (both long respected contributors here). Again, the classic vs modern tube sound dist... | |
| Tube in Preamp or Power amp? Yes, an impossible question to ask without knowing what your speakers are. And an idea of your budget would help too. Tube watts are not cheap, a real concern with a hard to drive speaker. But yes, it seems that consensus is that a tube amp tends ... | |
| phono stage for VPI Traveler w/ 2m blue Another fan of the P75 here. Super if later you move to LOMC due to its Phono Enhancer mode for LOMC carts.The Jolida and especially the Jasmine get a lot of love here, but I have heard neither. | |
| New ZYX Premium cartridge line +1, Mehran is fabulous to work with. And carries some superb gear. My vinyl set-up has never sounded better than with the ZYX 4d cart and the Moerch DP-8 that Mehran imports. Great great stuff, and Mehran is always a real pleasure to deal with. | |
| Recommend me a warm sounding 5 channel power amp +1 on the Butler recommendation | |
| SR PowerCell 10 SE MK2 or Running Springs Jaco? "Equitech sucks"? C'mon. May be that they didn't work well in your system. Power conditioning can be quite system dependent. And we all make our own calls on pricing vs improvement. I am a huge fan of my Equitech 2Q, and have also really liked a R... | |
| tonearm parameters Yes, cartridge-tonearm matching is key. And the Cartridge and Tonearm Databases over on Vinyl Engine are an excellent resource for determining a good cart-tonearm match. One tonearm maker that offers considerable versatility in this area is Moerch... | |
| tube amps? There are a number of great options at that budget. I think Quicksilver may have been mentioned earlier in this thread. Rogue is another brand worth considering, as is Primaluna. But speaker amps thing is really huge. What speakers are you using? ... | |
| SR PowerCell 10 SE MK2 or Running Springs Jaco? Well, see the Purepower threads with a number of customer service and hum problems discussed. They give me second thoughts about that company. | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva The $4000 price is PER AMP. I got this reply when I inquired about the new price:"Thanks for your interest in our Black Beauty 305 amplifier. These units are priced individually at the $3995 price." | |
| Scout 1.1 Tonearm Comparison Why don't we wait until we hear from someone who has actually heard the new arm, or better yet someone who has compared the two? According to VPI's Facebook page, they feel that the gimballed is better for some carts (MIs from Grado IIRC) than the... | |
| What does REFERENCE mean? It seems like reviewers also use the term "reference" to refer to their own gear and the system into which any item under reviewed is being inserted. For some reviewers, this reference system is designed to be as neutral and transparent as possibl... | |
| V-Ray v.2 or Running Springs Jaco or Audience Wig,That's what I like to hear. | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? As you think about potential upgrades down the road, also be aware that the Rogue integrated phono stages aren't the units' strong points. I have read many positive things from Rogue owners about upgrading the phono. Though in this case I would re... |
