Best phono stage?
Hi, the so-called Jeff Rowland PSU is a special power supply, but not with batteries, but with supercapacitors. Battery power supplies had the former Cadence phono stages, but there is no battery unit for the Conductor. Can you please tell us your findings on the differences between PSU and...- Birdwatcher

Best phono stage?
Which Jeff Rowland phono do you have? Cadence (with battery PS?) or Conductor (with PSU?)? What do you and others here think about this quite modern, not discret, not pure analogue, and even in their dimension not very big phono stages. They use Lundahl SUT in in- and output. There are some...- Birdwatcher

Your All Time Favorite Preamplifiers?
…but it went on succesfully with Consummate, Coherence II Series II, latest Synergy IIi, Criterion or Corus with PSU… Even the smaller latest Capri S2-SC should be outstanding. Jeff Rowland had so many fantastic products over the many years. Astonishing, that he could achieve a characteristic...- Birdwatcher

PS Audio DirectStream P20
Hello, unfortunately there are not many users of the PS Audio P20 directstream power plant out there, at least I don’t really read much about it? Wouldn’t you recommend ist?

About to get Allnic H-8000 DHT
Do all the H-8000 phono stages have the silver SUT, or is it something that came just with later units? Do you know in which years? I have just read today, that the production of the H-8000 DHT should stop in this year, 2024. Even if this was communicated some months ago, I am sad to hear that...- Birdwatcher

Kondo M7 + SFz vs ?
Byrdparis, no regret at all regarding the CH Precision phono after all those years? Any other who has left Kondo phono stages or at least compared with other brands, especially when using Kondo IO cartridges and SFz?- Birdwatcher

MM phono stage for SUT
Shawn, after your last reply here you seam to have switched from Kondo M7 to GE-10i. How are the differences? Really great? Just more of everything, or maybe somehow different in one or other way? As I see, you don’t use a Kondo cartridge. Was a IO-xp never a choice to think about for your...- Birdwatcher

Kondo vs Allnic
hi, what do you mean with Kondo GE? GE-1? GE-7? GE-10? They are really in different price ranges and surely sound quite different. So what was your comparison? And can maybe other people tell about comparison between an Allnic DHT 8000 (just as a MM stage) and a Kondo GE-1 or KSL-7 Phono, if...- Birdwatcher

Maybe fun, but too long with too little information. There are so many redundant self-presenting heroes on YouTube… I am sorry….- Birdwatcher
