VPI Classic 1 isolation upgrade
Thank you! I used the last few months to find out which way to go...Money is an issue, so I would do it around for the same sum as any of my 4 choiches.What is for sure. I am going to change the tile and the 1" MDF to marble. Does it make sense?Wh... 
Running a LOMC in MM setting?
I got an answer from Gold Note. They have really good customer service btw. " Dear Milan,It is a clearly a saturation signal problem.For which reducing the gain using the MM input fix the issue.There is no way of damaging the cartridge because th... 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
The Dynaudio BM5 MKiii are active monitors with built in amp, balanced ,unbalanced inputs. 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
It's a pair of Dynaudio BM5 MKiii. It sounds like a big improvement after I went balanced, so I want to keep it that way. 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
That is unfortunately way out of budget... 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
I got down to the following options. It`s not not gonna be a SUT, but a phono upgrade first -but I am open to purchase one later-I am living in Norway, so my options are a bit limited.Which one would you choose from the following?1. MF PSU + go... 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
Thank you for all the replies. I changed the unbalanced cables to balanced. The cables need to burn in,the octaves are incomplete, but it feels like I got 5-10db and overall better sound quality, so that's gonna be like that.I decided to buy a pho... 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
Okay, I could live with that option also. As I said I am a rookie, so I don`t have much experience yet.  Lets get down in the "SUT road". Beside the DENON AU-S1 which one would be good enough? I am open to buy used one also, but first of all I hav...

@rauliruegas Thank you for confirming my opinion about SUTs...Less is more in this case.I think my active monitors benefit from the balanced connects. I tried it with a whole different config also and it was just better. Wouldn`t make sense to upg... 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
I am conserned about the balanced connectors because I had a chance to try it with balanced cables and it was almost silent.I think the noise in my system is not just because the phono....But I have a desire to buy a better one with a balanced out... 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
Thank you all, you are awesome! Sorry for the begynner questions, I am very new to this field...The Ikeda 9TT has 0.2mV, not 0.1mV, and in a review the author says it was just equal to an another 0.3mV cart... and 2ohms coil impedanceAccording to ... 
Phono for Ikeda 9TT LOMC
I have checked the nighthawk among several phonos what can be good for my Ikeda. Now I have more questions than when I started. I think the best if I am starting a new post... 
Phono for Ikeda 9TT LOMC
Huhhh, now I am confused a bit.I am open to buy now either a Step up or a Gold Note phono.I would prefer a Gold Note Ph-10 with the 0.1mV+ but I've checked the Ph-7and the Ph-1. Both of the last phonos offer 0.15mV+ input sensitivity. Would you re... 
Phono for Ikeda 9TT LOMC
Huhhh, that Gold Note looks awesome with the 0.1mV+ input sensivity.... But in this case I have to sell the MF phono. Would it make a significant improvement over getting a better PSU + change unbalanced connections to balanced all way from the to...

If it’s possible I dont want a step up...
