| Tubes for Magnepan’s. OP: I have been using the Doge 9 mono block with Doge 8 pre to drive my Magnepan 1,7s for the past five years in my living room system. I am pretty happy with the setup and could certainly recommend it. Doge 9 uses a pair of 211 with a pair of EL3... | |
| Doge 7 tube DAC I, too, have the Doge 6 CD player for 6 year now. It's an excellent CD player. I like it better than my Oppo 205 player.I recently compared Doge 6's analog output and digital output via Doge 7 DAC. The Doge 7 DAC has a bit more rich sound and exte... | |

| Substantial Upgrade @bruinuclafan, the reason that I went with Jelco TK850 arm on my Dr. Feickert Volare table is that it can be order with an add-on with the VTA at the time. I also ordered my TT from Upscale Audio and Kat helped me set up the cartridge before it wa... | |

| Doge 7 tube DAC I have been using Doge 7 for almost two years now and I highly recommend it. Very organic and musical with great imaging. While it's very detailed, it doesn't have any of digital harshness at all. I just watched Jay/NBTS and fully agreed with his ... | |
| turntable recommendations @stantheman2, I am so glad that you went for the Dr. Feickert Volare and are happy with it. Your experience mirrors mine, almost exactly. IMHO, Dr. Feichert Volare combined with Hana ML offers a great value in its price segment. | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K I would recommend ModWright PH 9.0 phono amp. It uses two 6C45 and two 6922 tubes and a separated power supply. It has flexible gain and impedance settings in the front. The sound quality is excellent, very organic with good sound stage. Currentl... | |

| Audio envy - dang! I received the AE phono cable and it's really excellent, very open and transparent with a lot of detail and clean background. I have it placed between my Technics 1200GR table and ModWright PH 9.0 phono preamp. I have used some other well known b... | |

| TT or Cartridge...what to buy? Earlier this year, I went through a similar process to update my TT. I considered tables from Mofi Ultradeck, VPI Prime Scout, Clearaudio Performance DC and Dr. Feickert Analogue Volare. I ended up going with Dr. Feickert's Volare with Jelco 805 t... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200/1210GR Did anyone try the Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star cartridge on the Technics Technics SL-1200/1210GR? | |
| Phono Cartridge for $1,000. I listened to Hana ML and Sumiko Blackbird before I made the decision to go with the Hana. I listen to classical music mostly and felt Hana is a bit more detailed with excellent resolution in higher frequency range. The A-T ART-9 wasn't available... |
