| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? @OP PS - Update on my earlier post. The RME ADI-2-Pro FSm specifically, will record both PCM and DSD, so you can compare both encoding schemes. | |
| Solutions for converting vinyl to 256 DSD? @OP. The choice in DSD ADCs is pretty limited. The Tascam DA-3000 could fit the bill. But you would need to A/B it against something like one of the two channel RME ADI Pro interfaces. If you are doing the conversion yourself, you might be surpris... | |
| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) @Primarist - What is your combined amp and speaker budget? It really doesn't make sense to be buying a pair of speakers and then trying to match an amplifier to them. In fact, really you should be buying the amp and speakers together. This parti... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @OP This is a classic case where specifications don't tell you everything. Pass amplifiers tend to sound more powerful than their nominal specifications suggest. If you have the opportunity to listen to them, it will be worthwhile. If you find the... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations @OP A pair of Passlabs XA160.8s and an XP32 pre could fit your needs well - lots of power and dynamics, plus natural timbres. @itmandella - the manufacturers of studio monitors are not necessarily the best amplifier designers - that's a general o... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? @OP To answer your upgrading question, a Clearaudio Concept and Hana SL will be massively better sounding than your current setup. If your budget allows it, the Concept Signature is worth the extra spend relative to the standard concept - more so... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound @saummisra - what amplifiers are you using? It's impossible to recommend speakers without knowing what amplification will be used to drive them. | |
| Guitar lacking bite, vocal lacking presence @OP Nothing in your equipment list suggests tonal imbalance, so its probably your ears. Noise induced hearing loss usually manifests itself as a notch or notches between 2 and 4k and up to 6k - right in the presence band. As others have said, ge... | |
| Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues The SL1200G is aproximately 6KG heavier than a 1200 MkII. The platter is nearly double the mass of the 1200Gs and the rest is the solid aluminum plinth and the BMC sub plinth. There are also differences in the arm's engineering. BTW, I am not bur... | |
| PS Audio BHK300 didn’t work this morning. Thanks Curiousjim. It's always nice to know how things turn out. I'm especially fascinated because of the fact that the amp is powering up - though not warming up - but no flashing blue light to indicate a fault. | |
| PS Audio BHK300 didn’t work this morning. @OP - Thanks and best of luck with your repair. Do let us know what PS Audio find when they check the amp. | |
| Weird crackling from speakers when preamp connected @OP Assuming the VTL has a non-captive mains, try a different mains cable. Also, try plugging into a different mains socket. Check if any new source of RF could be present since you sent the pre for service. Those are long shots as crackling is ... | |
| PS Audio BHK300 didn’t work this morning. @OP PS Audio specifically say to unplug the unit from the wall if it goes into protection mode and won't reset. I am surprised, if there is an internal problem, that the blue on off light is not flashing. Since you have changed the fuse - having... | |
| Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues @mattmiller, to add to the above re your pejorative "updated" comment. The current Technics TT's are not merely updates of the DJ-favourite SLs. While they share a common form factor and visuals, their engineering is massively different and better... | |
| Speaker choice without need for deep bass @OP - If you read my original post, that's precisely what I said. Over and out on this one. |
