Phono Preamp suggestions $2000 (pre-rabbit hole tire kicking edition)
@avanti1960 heresy for sure but my concern with the Sutherland is that its so transparent that its not really there. I don't mind imparting on the sound a little, its the spice that makes the dish tasty. The 2 power cord/IC's 18 feet apart is a di... 
Audio envy - dang!
I am looking to go all AE (RCA+Speakers) but I have to admit the comment about being less warm than Morrow is a concern. I am running SP4 speaker cables and a Ma3 between preamp and power amp and I would like a little more warmth. AE had been the ... 
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
@leemaze The Mullards from Upscale were quiet after I put the attenuators on. I have so much gain in my system that I really don't know what anything means anymore other than the first set of RCA's I got early last year must have been perfect beca...

@rsf507  thanks. The Atma is a pricey piece. I'll keep digging.

@rsf507  good to know. You’re using the power supply as well?also, what preamp did you have before the PH-10?

@rsf507  Do agree with the assessment of the TAS review of the Ph-10?https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/gold-note-ph-10-phonostage/?page=3I'm just curious

@luxmancl38  I had not thought of the e-250. That seems solid if I ccan get one used. thanks.@rsf507 I keep looking at that one but the screen and software part worries me. When the screen craps out then a functioning unit is rendered useless. I w... 
Anyone heard the Don Sachs Custom Tube Phono Stage?
@bobsdevices  Would you be willing to mention the strengths and weaknesses of the Don Sachs and the Trumpet MC?I am looking at both (admittedly on MM right now) and wonder what the strengths of each are. 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
@glupson but completely correct. As he has proven in this thread.  
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Just so people are aware, despite his "I know everything" attitude MillerCarbon is flagging dissenting posts. So when  you see him pop up in your thread, remember his hypocrisy and racism and disregard everything he has to say. 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
People hate Chinese amps but love American companies who sell custom made boxes full of Chinese parts. Hypocrisy.Personally I could give a f*ck where its made as long as I like it. Boomer thinking gets us nowhere. 
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
@jackd  yeah the original speakers I was looking at were 90db I think. That went out the window when I heard the Klipsch Heresy. It’s a terrible mismatch (lol).  
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
@jackd  I’m so overloaded right now that I’m just leaving it so I can have a few minutes of peace and gear music. But to your point part of me agrees and part of me is disappointed that I’m selling this piece of gear short by using them. I’m not s... 
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
Went and threw on the 12db attenuators I had and now everything is dead silent. All the tube noise I have been getting (which didn’t get louder with the volume pot) now gone below the threshold of the attenuators. I’m pondering snagging a 6db pair... 
Thinking out loud: solid state Linestage < $2k?
@rodman99999  thanks, I have a Schiit SYS I ran for more than a year that worked fine other than only having a single set of outputs. It was definitely quiet but kind of boring. I definitely need 2 sets of outputs.
