| Doge 8 Clarity Since I don't use the MC phono stage, the jfet noise is not a issue. Alx I am sorry to hear you got a lemon. Mine has been nothing but pure pleasure. With the Ypsilon SUT and using Mike Morrow's #6 phono cables I can turn the volume all the way up... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... The beauty of single malt scotch: hundreds of choices and they are all different.There literally is no wrong or bad malt btw as I have stated previously; Laphroig is a acquired taste. That said, I have to disagree with the statement that Lagavulli... | |
| Arvo Part... Where have you been my whole life? Being a long time choirister;I have had the opportunity to sing a lot of "modern" music including Part.The composer that I have always associated (in my mind)with Part is John Tavener. Perhaps it is because they seemed to appear on the scene at th... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Just had a taste of my friends Arran and I would agree;a very fine malt.Islay labels are my preference. Laphroig and Lagavullan,Bowmores,Ardbeg.Laphroig 10 yr. (we call it "frog juice")is one of the least expensive premium malts; going here in Cin... | |
| Doge 8 Clarity I have a Doge Clarity. I must say that they have changed the entire phono stage from the original.I use mine with a Ypsilon SUT through the tube mm section and it is perfectly quiet. The jfet section has been improved but it still is not as resolv... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... For you high end high rollers, I suggest 30yr. Laphroig. Truly a sublime malt.Just found 2 bottles of Bowmore 17 year (my favorite). This is no longer made. Needless to say, I am hoarding it.not reallye | |
| Stand out phono stages IMHOI don't understand why anyone would have tube power amps, tube preamp and "settle" for a SS phono preamp.Matching | |
| Stand out phono stages I recently (3 months ago) bought the new Doge "Clarity" preamp which has it's own phono section. I use the MM section coupled to a Ypsilon SUT. To me this is a ourstanding phono section. Very quiet with great prat, dynamics and nuance. Indeed the ... | |
| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice Thanks for the info Ncarv. Aesthetix gear is very well respected and I am sure would be a winner.btw For those who have SS gear, you need to try a tube preamp with your SS power amp. It can be a life changing experience.My friend Mike Morrow is ou... | |
| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice My only rebuttal is that you rarely see the Doge for sale and when you do they sell for $1000-1200. The last one I saw sold in the first hour. I am sure a Aesthetix would be first rate too. I would love to hear one. Does the Calypso have a phono s... | |
| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice I have heard the Doge 8 in a very revealing system and it is a giant killer. When used with a first rate SUT the phono section is top notch.That said, I bought the new "Clarity" Doge 8 and while it is still breaking in I do believe I am hearing a ... | |
| Doge 9 listening experience... that is surprising that they don't have balanced inputs since the Doge 8 has balanced outputs.thanks for the info.e | |
| Doge 9 listening experience... Does the Doge 9 have balanced inputs? | |
| Doge 9 listening experience... Thanks Thinman. I have seen timaudio on ebay. He has a turntable motor I think I want. Have you any experience with that?As for the Doge 9,they look very nice and I love their preamp.I like the idea of a high powered tube amp that doesn't break th... | |
