| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 I’ve had the RST2 on order now since August of 21 I believe. I’m getting older and crankier waiting for this thing. And the ship date continually moves forward! I saw this from old_ears, "Maybe a new can of worms here but the otherwise wonderful ... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport I'm getting anxious to hear this transport having the Holo May KTE. I ordered mine this past summer. Expected date to arrive is now March 18th 2022. So now I'm most unhappy regarding my delivery date from AA. Looks like I'll be making some phone... | |
| Help with short list of intergrateds and phono stage Get both? If only I had the luxury. I'm already beyond spoiled just considering this equipment. Maybe it's the tube personality I'm missing. Tubes have been a mixed bag for me. I'm always wondering if a tube is going bad. Tube gear should opti... | |
| Help with short list of intergrateds and phono stage In response to room treatment, I've had GIK room treatments on order for months now. I currently have 2ea 2 X 4 panels in place but looking to dial in the room much further knowing that the room is at least 51% of your sound enjoyment. Not a lot ... | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables Just received my 10ft Fidelium speaker cables. So here's my 20 cents (inflation).To start with, I was wondering how much break-in was needed on these cables. So I did a search which led me to this forum. I don't post much due to thin skin. As I re... | |
| Cullen or Triode Wire Labs power cord? Don't forget about LessLoss C-Marc. I may be picking up 1 or 2 of those cables today. Would love to see a Presidents Day sale. | |
| Rockna Wavelight thoughts? I already own a great sounding DAC, the Lindemann Musicbook DSD. And now Lindemann offers an upgrade which entirely replaces the contents within in skin for less than $2K.But, mental illness has me wishing for a new dac. It happens in audio. And m... | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier I currently use a Lindemann Musicbook DSD streamer as a pre. Great DAC and CD player and it replaced a dedicated preamp. But having a Rega P10 mated to a Rogue Audio Area magnum while using the streamer as a preamp, you know my system is bastardiz... | |
| Went from brilliant to distortion Ya see. No longer have I posted than lewm provided me with more knowledge regarding my phono pre than I knew over the years I've owned it.You are correct in that the ECC802's are positioned toward the back of the chassis and yes, near to the outpu... | |
| Went from brilliant to distortion I am forever a student of audio. At this "hobby" for 54 years, so I'm in second grade. I might actually be unlearning crap at this point. I read posts from many of you that speak of cartridge loading, VTA, on and on and I'm like "hope I got good t... | |
| Went from brilliant to distortion Yes, had everything back to original.I located a pair of JJ ECC802-S tubes and replaced the 12AX7LPS Sovteks out of the rearward position of the L/R channels of the Ares. No more noise! No electronics expert here but I know (or I think I know) th... | |
| Went from brilliant to distortion Stylus is perfectly clean. First place I looked. It actually sounds like an extremely dirty stylus. | |
| Phonostage for Rega P10 The Luxman EQ-500 is an intriguing option. If I found one 50% off I would buy it too! | |
| Phonostage for Rega P10 Rega P10 with the Apheta 3 sounds first class to my ears. The Ares sounds great mated with the Rega and I could leave well enough alone. I can't help feeling that the Rega would benefit from the next level of phonostage. The NVO looks like a winne... | |
| Phonostage for Rega P10 I guess I’m looking to level up with a phonostage and was thinking about the Allnic. I’ve owned an Allnic Linestage dht5000 and was happy with it.And perhaps I should live with the Ares. Just looking at all points here and thanks for the responses... |
