| Belles 22a Preamplifier Frank designed the synergy to be fairly tube like in sound. I’ve never had a tubes power amp in my system so can’t say how close it comes to that goal but it isn’t remotely clinical sounding. The dac10 is very quiet and does a great job of just le... | |
| Belles 22a Preamplifier Funny, I went from a 2100 to the 22a as well. My experience echoes yours. I did end up selling it because I decided to go with a one box dac / pre solution, the nuprime dac10. These are both great preamps and if memory serves they are more similar... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations Not sure if it’s a good much for your arm but the Soundsmith zephyr Star is very nice. It took the dynamic capabilities of my system up a notch without being in your face. Never seems to work to hard, no etch in the treble. I’m sure there are cart... | |
| If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade) The 2M Black is fine but there are plenty better. Nothing wrong with that, I just bought a zephyr Star, it sounds great but I know there are carts that are better just based on how many carts there are and a realistic understanding of where the ze... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I love digital through my nuprime dac 10 or iPhone/dragonfly red/sennheiser6xx massdrops. I love analog through my nottingham space 294, Soundsmith zephyr Star, and musical surroundings Nova II.Some albums sound better on digital. Some sound bette... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Audiofun, thanks for the insight. I think the more opinions the better. Much appreciated. Joe | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G audiofun, what didnt you like about the purple heart? | |
| Looking for mc cartridge in $1000-$1500 range. I was very interested in both the Hana ml and the eat jo but jumped on a pre owned zephyr Star. It’s sounds wonderful so far on my Nottingham 294. It was just on sale at many on line dealers too and would be safely in your price range. Still, Id l... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Uber, my my dad has a friend who has a notts, either space with heavy kit or hyperspace fitted with a purple heart. The rest of the system is close to what hwd has set up in their listening room. I really need to go listen and report back. I will ... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G FYI, just put the pre owned Soundsmith zephyr Star on my notts 294 and it sounds fantastic through 3 tracks of Hugh masakalas hope. | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G different strokes etc etc | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I asked Larry about changing tonearms and tweaking such as platter may and he was firmly against both, if I correctly recall. He believes in synergy. That being said, the Boston audio May was an improvement. I dont see the The kiseki on the hwdso... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers I’d suggest LSA statement 1’s or the Phil bmr’s which I currently own. Both are stellar, the lsa has a more forward midrange which may seem more detailed. They | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Oops, wrong thread | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I’ve heard the nag 500 on a Clearaudio Concept and if memory serves it was very nice. |
