| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback Hi everyone, @nlitworld I went ahead and bought that digital VTF gauge and the Hagerman Bugle phono stage. I checked my alignment with block and that was level vertically and the needle is hitting where it should with the measurement (I had measu... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld do you feel that the Bugle without the upgraded op amps is still an upgrade to what I’m using? I’m in no hurry to spend my entire budget right now if I don’t have to, haha. I just can’t decide if I want to start getting into tubes, eith... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @will3 i did put that on the table as a consideration. I try hard to not fall into the trap of just doing same brand across the board without research, but the Mani does show up often when looking into specs. | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback How does a Moon LP110 V2 sound like it would pair with my cartridge to everyone here? From what I’m learning, it seems like a decent match? | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback Anyone have any experience with Parks Audio (discontinued Budgie or Puffin)? | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @robbiesd That was actually me that posted it. Thanks for following up. I looked at it yesterday and saw that screw. I used my alignment tool on it's side to check the head shell angle while on the record and it's dead level so I ended up not need... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld Thanks for the clarity - immensely helpful. Phone stage it is. | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld If I ran the phono at stage 3, it looks like that’s an match for .5 mV output, no? I could entirely be reading that wrong. Would it be worth just tacking on the SUT and cables to what I already have if I can really dial it in and th... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback After ruminating and sleeping on this, I think my move is going to be a cartridge upgrade. I just think the rest of my equipment is at least decent enough to get me to where I’m happy (for now of course) that the cartridge is really the bottleneck... | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld are you tube all the way? I see they offer what seems like a SS alternative with all the adjustments available as well. | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld what’s the consensus on that Pro Ject tube box and would it make sense to introduce just one stage of tubes in my chain? | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback Are most if not all phono stages set to hard values for gain and load or are there adjustable ones with a knob or something like that to really dial in? | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld The no power part should have been obvious, haha - thanks! | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @hrabieh The DAC was in the first post, Pro Ject Pre Box S2 Digital. Feeding that is an Intel NUC running Roon ROCK. | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback @nlitworld stupid question maybe, but how can I check if tonearm is level without the record spinning? |
