| Transport needed ! Buy a second-hand DVD player with coax output. Mine is a JVC that cost $26 with free shipping on eBay. I use it with the Khadas KTB DAC ($90). Bits (0's and 1's) are just bits! Only the neurotically obsessed will claim otherwise! | |
| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? My Empire 698 TT! Bought new in 1976 from Stereo Discounters in Maryland plus a Microacoustics 2002E electret cartridge for about $400 total. I later changed to a Dynavector 20B homc cartridge. | |
| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? My Precision Fidelity C7 tube phono stage. Designed by Bruce Moore of Paragon 10 and 12 fame - later MFA (Moore, Franklin, Associates). The C7 had a source selector with four inputs and a volume pot so it could function as a passive preamp.

| klipshorn speakers Save a lot of money and get a pair of the new JBL Century 100's. A fraction of the cost of the K-Horns! Capable of rockin' out without driving listeners from the room! | |
| Re-issue, CD, SACD, Tape....LP....and what studio tapes are being used.... +1 bdp24! | |
| Step up transformer or upgrade phono preamp? Hana SL mc cartridge ($750) + a Bellari SUT (~$500) into the MM input of the Vincent will be significantly better than the Soundsmith. No need to immediately replace the Vincent! | |
| Thinking of trying well fuses….. oldhvymec you are way too obsessed! | |
| Jadis J-2 What's the price? | |
| Should I switch to a larger room? Yes, a larger room will be better, especially since you have Magneplanars. | |
| Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! +1 jumia! From one experiment comes a blanket generalization! | |
| Analog Upgrade - Where to start? The Miyajima Kansui mc cartridge would be a significant upgrade over the Dynavector. I recommend using an SUT with it. Bellari makes a good one for ~$500 - I have one in use. The rest of your phono system is fine - no need to change it! | |
| I really could use some help here..... +1 itsjustme! | |
| Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth +1 Volti! Option 4 is just a waste of time and money! | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING Find better recorded/mastered LPs! Particularly original ones from the pre-digital era (1980). Avoid new reissues that were digitally mastered! | |
| Accuphase T-1200 Tuner Can't be done easily! Live with it or sell it! |
