| Trade offs? Get a quality turntable, stylus and phono stage. You won't like the CD's after listening to it.Dfwmediagroup (Threads | Answers)Let's look at the reality. Is someone supposed to jettison their digital source and hundreds or thousands of CDs, and b... | |
| Trade offs? Well, I disagree somewhat with Plato. If the majority of your CDs sund harsh, it could be that the majority of your CDs are poorly recorded and your resolving system is exposing their flaws.I have far fewer well recorded CDs in my system than I do... | |
| anyone else hate locking RCAs? APL warns that there could be problems using those w the WBT Nextgen RCA jacks. Swampwalker (System | Threads | Answers)There's really no problem. This warning created a fire for no reason.Here's the issue...The WBT Nextgen jacks have metal contac... | |
| anyone else hate locking RCAs? I dislike locking RCAs for the reasons previously mentioned.My favorite RCA connector is Eichmann. Excellent grip. Easy to install an remove. | |

| Tube Amp for Green Mountain Audio Callisto Consider also the Atma-Sphere M-60 monos...Also, a VAC Renaissance 30/30 or 70/70 would be incredibly sweet. There are used versions of all of these presently for sale. | |
| Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is? Gotta love Google and Stereophile...From the Stereophile Test Measurements of their review of the SP-16L preamp and VS110 amplifier: ...the input impedance [of the SP-16L] was a moderately high 43k ohms over most of the band, this dropping to a st... | |
| Before I upgrade my cart from Dyna 20xl to an XX2 ...there can be no better dollars spent on your analog front end.Regards,DanIslandmandan (System | Threads | Answers)Second that. | |
| Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is? Stereophile's test measuremets for the BAT VK-3iX state:"The unbalanced source impedance varied from 7k ohms at 20Hz to 1460 ohms at 1kHz and 2650 ohms at 20kHz, while the balanced figures ranged from a very high 14k ohms at 20Hz to 1850 ohms in t... | |
| Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is? Yes, input impedance of the preamp matters as it mates with the output impedance of the source (MHDT Labs DAC).For more information read the info on the Burson Audio Buffer, which is a device designed to correct impedance mismatch. | |
| Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is? The missing spec required to know is the Rogue preamp's input impedance. If it's lower than 47kOhm, then it could be a problem with the high output impedance of the MHDT Labs DAC. | |
| Tube-aholics Anonymous? I'm not considering replacing the XA-60.5. | |
| Tube-aholics Anonymous? I guess I meant the M150... | |
| Tube-aholics Anonymous? I'd like to hear the Rogue M120 someday. | |
| Before I upgrade my cart from Dyna 20xl to an XX2 In my system, aligning my cartridge (Dyna XX2) with a MintLP Best Tractor eliminated the tizz at the end of records.I'd recommend buying a MintLP before you upgrade the cartridge. |
