| Pass Labs Amps - Does the heat bother you? If I am reading the responses correctly you’re each saying that the amplifiers get hot enough to change the room temperature? I have owned tube amps, pass amps and first watt amps and I have never felt the need to crank the A/C down to adjust for... | |
| Maybe Leaving SET for Solid State because I want bass @decooney, I agree with your recommendation. I use a pair of JL Audio subs with my 45, 2a3 and 300b amps in the past and didn’t miss a beat. I typically favor sealed enclosures and felt the JL’s had the speed and bass tightness to open up the so... | |

| Roon After 3 Years: The Rolls Royce of Streaming I Didn’t Know I Needed My core is a SonicTransporter I7 Gen3, I have 2 Lifetime memberships as I was completely hooked when I tried for the first time. Now headache after headache, my I7 has 32g Ram and my NAS has 35K albums and 400k tracks. Props to those of you that... | |
| Roon After 3 Years: The Rolls Royce of Streaming I Didn’t Know I Needed I have been on Roon for years and can honestly say that the last couple of years have been horrible with drop outs and other issues. I have spent more time re-booting, on the Roon Forum and dealing with their technical support then listening to m... | |
| Technics SL1200G cables and headshell choice I used the Jelco magnesium head-shells with my 1200g, You do have to pay attention to the total weight combo with the factory arm on the 1200g. PM if you would like to buy some as I have 2-3 of them left since I sold my 1200g and bought a EMT-948. | |

| Cartridge Upgrade Advice: Keith listens to Audio Technica cartridges on his VPI tables. I have used all the above brands and most of the same models listed above. I love the Miyajima cartridges and since found a lot of listening joy with the EMT cartridges. I have not car... | |
| Transrotor Zet3 questions You can use tissue paper to pull the oil out as well. I would drain and start with fresh oil. There are options out there for record weights with taller spindle height and if transrotor has one available I would go with that to start out with. ... | |
| Recommend an amp + pre for ESL 57s and a new turntable (way out of my league) Lot’s of advice, I have owned multiple pairs of 57’s over the years. These aren’t starter speakers and do require some attention to detail to get the most out of them. These are not an easy load for a lot of amplifiers out there and I would reco... | |
| Do I need a MC cartridge now? Or an attenuator? MM phono preamps aren’t meant to run LO MC with it, you will need a SUT to use that type of cartridge into a MM phono preamp. You should invest in a LO MC and there are plenty of options listed in the previous reply’s that are less than the MoFI o... | |
| antiskate disc @lewm you are absolutely correct in your statement. I am not sure how these forums get so testy and a lot of times someone disagrees it get this way. Vinyl is so subjective and opinions vary. We get new vinyl users or some with not a huge amoun... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @larsman Remote? Just buy another one or two from Keith. I have his ESP360 reference and it does everything you want. My soundstage width, depth and height are incredible and the dynamics and detail I am getting are off the charts good. I ha... | |
| Looking for Some Music Server Advice I am using a SonicTransporter with the Sonore Signture Optical Rendu and it replaced a TotalDac Sublime steamer and I don’t miss a thing. I sold off both my TotalDac Streamer and TotalDac DAC and use a much lower priced Wavelength Audio Cosecant ... | |
| Options to improve digital sound @walt8489 I just recently(past week) changed out my Apple to the very same SonicTransporter I7 Gen 3 Server you are thinking about. I currently use a Sonora Signature Rendu SE streamer with the Sonore opticalModule Deluxe to convert Ethernet t... |
