| What does "Warm" mean? Having just bought a pair of speakers (Sonus Faber Lumina V Amators) that many describe as "warm" and contrasting those with my original pair of Magnepan 1.7is, I will offer a perspective on how these sound different. I might call it "distance" fo... | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @rauliruegas i get your meaning. Incidentally Velodynes would help immensely with my Magenapans which really struggle on low end and distort greatly. A high pass filter approach for those could really fix that. Velodyne DD 12+ look like maybe an e... | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @rauliruegas so yo are ok with something interrupting the signal to the mains? i suppose the Velodyne is a very high quality HPF? | |

| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @elliottbnewcombjr I will laugh for you but it went over my head lol | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @elliottbnewcombjr appreciate the tips on minimum viable TT setups. If I do enter the vinyl world it will be at this tier and this gives me something to start with | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @rauliruegas you literally confirmed my conclusion 1 minute after my post, making me even more sure I'm taking the right path. Velodyne huh? I will be visiting local HiFi stores and will see if they have any. I know they carry RELs. Do you have ... | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system All.. very much appreciate this dialog and frankly this is pushing me in the direction of upgrading my digital path. At least at this point in my life, I don't have the time nor will to tinker with fine instruments such as these TTs and related co... | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system interesting ideas here... and @ghdprentice ive seen the pics of your setup and you are saying you don't listen to vinyl anymore? wow i kinda like this provide it on a smaller system idea. To this end, what would you all recommend i pair with m... | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @ghdprentice excellent analysis, ty. At this point I think I am hearing two things from this forum overall, a fork in approach which you first pointed out: a) if you want to go anolog you may need to go up in quality from the P6RS (to either Rega ... | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @oberoniaomnia Re the additional investment I need to be aware of for vinyl, this is a great point and frankly i sort of overlooked it.. hmm Re subs, yeah i've gotten over the need for earth rattling output from addition of a sub. I have had an ... | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @ghdprentice what is is about the P8 with Apheta that you feel is the better match? As for your comments about my stated goals not really matching well with what the analog will bring to my system (and my ears), you certainly have my attention. I... | |
| TT and phono preamp - what best match for my system @viridian oops. Good catch i fat fingered that. What i meant was Rega Planar 6 RS Edition with Nd9 cartridge. Thanks for the feedback on the JC3. I'm intrigued by your comment on subs and phonographs... as you can tell i'm brand new to analog | |
| A warm DAC? I would second the R2R path. I recently did a post comparing Denafrips AresII with a Topping. I guess I cannot definitely say it is the fact that it was an R2R, but I would describe the sound as producing more natural sounding instruments. Not su... | |
| How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup? 30 years. Started with Metal Particle IV mix tapes, then Sony Discmans, followed by thrift store Polks&JVC&Pioneer disc changers, then several rounds of pimped out car audio, followed by a dry period of marriage and young kids (no money a... |
