| How low of the cartridge output the Allnic H3000 can handle? Indeed, we ran with the Steelheads for a few years. Then you helped hook me onto the Allnic maybe 4 years ago. A whole 'nother fish and one that I've never wanted to throw back. So thanks again! Always good to read your helpful posts. | |
| VAC + Wilson Audio I paired Bryston 28B2 with a VAC Phi Beta preamp, which has a very similar circuit to yours, and it worked well. Ultimately, I found the Brystons too dry and replaced them with a VAC 300.1a, so I understand your plan. Sorry, I can't help with your... | |
| How low of the cartridge output the Allnic H3000 can handle? I’m whart’s evil twin and I use the GEC, too. My second fav is Brimar 5R4GY, then probably Amperex Holland Bugleboy 5AR4. | |
| How low of the cartridge output the Allnic H3000 can handle? The 40x SUT in the H3000 will run cartridges down to 0.1mV, provided they have a fairly low number for internal impedance, or DCR. I bought a Benz Ebony TR, tested at 0.14mV with 1-ohm DCR, specifically to take advantage of the Allnic’s design. It... | |
| Phono Protractor. Recommendations? Lewm, thanks for details. No, my positioning arm has no demarcations at all; it's just clear acrylic. I did buy the P2S tool when Daniel brought it out -- as I recall, he offered a special discount to UNI owners. It dovetails nicely with the UNI t... | |
| Phono Protractor. Recommendations? Is the SMARTractor more precise than the UNI-protractor? I ask because I have the UNI, and actually prefer my old Wallytractors. | |
| Thoughts on VTA...... Raul is right, of course, that time is precious and trying to obtain the perfect VTA for each LP side is a waste of it. But at the same time, VTA close to perfect always sounds better, and obviously so. I won't own an arm without VTA adjustment th... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. VAC seems to be doing some good work these days. I have worked on one of their big preamps, it was nice but picked up hum from a power amp 2 feet away. We were surprised. Yes, we were! Hey Roger. Great thread!Bill | |
| Best MM? Dear @wrm57 : I own it, nothing to " die for ", good an that's all.Thanks, Raul. I think I'll mount it soon and see how it fares against my Grace F-14 with a SoundSmith OCL, which I like quite a bit.Bill | |
| Best MM? I have a never-used TRX-2 that's been sitting in my cartridge drawer for a couple of years. I'll be interested in your opinion. | |
| Tidal Hifi has a very limited jazz selection I don't get it. I listen to those guys, too, though mostly on vinyl, and don't really see the lack. A quick search for Coltrane resulted in all the Atlantic recordings, and what looks to be all the Impulse records, too. Even the newish releases of... | |
| Tidal Hifi has a very limited jazz selection Just out of curiosity, what are you looking for that you can't find on Tidal? I listen almost exclusively to jazz and find the selection to be pretty good, even for the more esoteric stuff like Human Feel or AlasNoAxis. Sure, there are holes. But ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) I can’t really understand why anyone would design DD table that takes 8-12 seconds to start up. Is there something the Japanese knew how to do that current manufacturers don’t? This "white paper" from Brinkmann on the Oasis kind of explains the l... | |
| Gold Note PSU10 , anyone yet get one? Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. It gives me some perspective. I’d bring in the PH10 as additional phono stage behind my Allnic and the built-in MC/MC in my VAC preamp (fed by nude Vishay’s like yours), so it would mainly be for MM carts and S... | |
| Gold Note PSU10 , anyone yet get one? I'm interested in this piece, too. Chakster, what other phono stages do you use and how does the Gold Note compare? |
