Audio Note Soro SE Uh Cool

I do not know about the ASL but I love my Soro SE and yes it has the best bass I have ever heard in my system beating 2 different solid state Plinius amps. I am so convinced that I bought Audio Note speakers to match it. Also, the Audio Note AN-V ICs beat my Audience AU-24 ICs easily with that amp, having no high end edge and more realistic tone in the midrange and bass.

To be perfectly fair, I would give it more than 6 hours, 2 weeks is always best if you can (as you probably know)...

Well it's been almost twenty four hours since i brought her home from the local audio kennel. Definitely a keeper. Perhaps either Philjolet or C123666 can answer this question, what, or, more simply, how do i use a stepup with the onboard phono stage? I have a shelter 501mkII going through a Phenomenon into the AUX input at the moment. Have you guys used a stepup before? Hell, i guess anybody can jump in on this one.

Just curious, is the Soro an integrated version of the P2SE, or is it a 6BQ5 amp like the Ono?

Tonearm cable and ground go into the stepup. A new ic is needed from the phono in to the stepup. Also you will need a ground wire from the preamp to the stepup..any wire will do. Good luck.

I used my Soro SE Phono with a K&K stepup and it was a very good match. Run it through the phono stage, not the Aux input. Otherwise, you bypass the RIAA eqaulization.

I have run it through the AUX stage with good results using a Microgroove, but only because the gain in that stepup overpowered the phono input. Be careful how you connect the ground wires. I had to float the ground to get rid of a nasty hum. Also, make sure the the ic fron the stepup to the Soro is shielded.

I've said it many times here that I think the Soro is one of the great values in audio, for what it goes for used. Even at retail, I think it is hard to beat.

Phil,

What AN speakers did you buy? Update your system page, damnit!!!!
