| Best cartridge for SME 309 Heidrun,I have a Lyra Kleos on my 309 and it sounds really good through a Parasound JC+. It is both detailed and full and tracks pretty well. Before I bought my Kleos Fremer liked the combination and I hear what he heard.Good fortune,Robert | |
| Listening impressions of two tonearm wires Lewm,It is difficult these days to listen for yourself. Even in Houston which is the fourth largest US city by population and third or second largest by area, there are few if any dealers left that will let one audition a component in one's own s... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 rsf507,You said, "Listened to a jc3+ and found it noisy. Didn't impress YMMV" .I believe I have said this before, but if you heard a noisy JC3+, it or something else in the system was defective. They are not noisy.One might think you have an inter... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Shadorne,Thanks for the reply but I was not the one asking about the DAC3. As I said I want MQA (I currently use an Explorer2 for that) and the DAC3 does not have it.I did read Benchmark's reply in Stereophile about the intersample overs. I had ... | |
| Listening impressions of two tonearm wires Montaldo,Agree re his review. Even the pro reviewers and bloggers are not doing a very good job these days. HP (Harry Pearson) and others used to give both overall and explicit examples of how something sounds. Now we seem to get whether someth... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 Hello,I like tubes but for $3k you should try the Parasound JC3+ . It is the considered by many to be the class of the field in that price range. I have heard many and tried several in my system and really like my JC3+.It is both full and detail... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Hello,Based on the lack of responses to my query, nobody here apparently has the new version. Reviews of both lead me to believe the DAC3 is a bit better than the original Brooklyn. Of course many of us actually want MQA and the Benchmarks do n... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Hey,Thanks, but I was asking specifically about the Brooklyn DAC+ which is the updated one released in October.I will definitely try the filter choices.Take it EZ, Robert | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" BTW, there is plenty of content on Tidal. The problem is you cannot buy most of it for some reason.Robert | |
| MQA according to new Stereophile "loudness button" and "tweaking EQ in presence region" Hey Folks,I have heard lots of loudness circuits. I have heard MQA through the Explorer2 and Tidal and Audirvana's software decoding.MQA does not sound like an EQ circuit. I believe it was Robert Harley who said it takes you closer. That is ex... | |
| Parasound JC3+ "I found it to be noisy for a SS phono unit."Then your unit was defective. Did you try exchanging it?Robert | |
| JC3+ Anyone? Yes,The JC3+ and I really like it. It is perhaps a bit more forward than the GCPH but it adds detail without removing fullness. It does NOT sound thin. The added adjustablility of the + is welcome as I have multiple tables and cartridges.Take i... | |
| VPI 16.5 Low Suction Hey Folks,I ordered a tube and it came in today. When pulling out the old tube a piece of it came off the end that goes in the tube holder. Put in the new tube and all is well. Better suction than I have had in some time.Thanks for you answers,... | |
| Buddy Rich Swingin' New Big Band LP Thanks folks, I found one on Amazon and bought it but I suppose I will get the one on Musicstack as well. I don't recall buying from there but I did discover I have a login for that site.I really should get out to the Goodwill and estate sales.T... | |
| ANyone heard the New Parasound Halo P5? Anybody? |
