| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? Why bother, really. Clicks and pops, poor new pressing, digitally recored music transferred to plastic? Whats the point. If you need to see something go round and round go open reel. Much sexier than a Thorens. | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Kora Hermes,NOS dual tube output. A gorgeous sounding piece of gear. Switchable output gain 2v/5v great for people with passive pre-amps, like me. And the fun of tube rolling. I love mine. Almost bought an Audio Mirror until I saw the "under the ... | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? I have output meters so it's fun to watch.Kind of like the campfire. When I had a tube amp it was a must see, like having a fireplace. That said my Subaru SVX had a cover for the in dash music system and it was very cool to have the music coming ... | |

| Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp? Of course, get a DAC with a tube buffered output! My Kora, Herrmes makes everything sound like analog! | |
| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 Used Magnepan .7's, life changing experience. | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade Let the new amp break in, sometimes it takes weeks. Never turn it off. Try an outboard DAC with a tube output buffer. My Amp doesn't even have an on/off, switch,same said for my pre-amp and Phono amp. Turing your gear off and on just kills it's... | |

| Inexpensive Good Vintage Turntables? I have a Thorens TD 320, since new! 1986?? It was their value model way back when. Shared motor with more expensive models. Built like a tank, TROUBLE FREE -STILL. I had the output cable/RCA's removed and replaced with flush mount high quality fem... | |
