Disapointong record purchase.
There are some informative Utoob videos about contemporary mastering and pressing facilities in South Korea and the USA. It appears that the former is more meticulous and perhaps has higher performance, eg., W&F standards. Search for them if you like. Has anyone ever heard South Korean...- Bso

Amplifiers for MartinLogan Renaissance ESL 15A
For purity of sound, mono Benchmark Media Systems ABH-2s. I believe that Benchmark and ML have Show-shown wares together. Otherwise he could go with Soulution or Accuphase class A. These have strong European support for warranty and the like.- Bso

Phono cables - the most sensitive and critical cable in your system
Nice setup. I doubt the brand of (balanced) cable had anything to do with the sound; this is not your point I surmise. Given that you are running 25' balanced from the phono preamp to the preamps/amps, I submit another reason for better sound, perhaps the most substantial one, is that the...- Bso

My personal journey to MY SONIC LAB
Since you asked the question, how would you describe your AC-5 compared to the other cartridges you have? How do you think the AC-6 will differ? There is a review of the AC-6 by one of the German magazines that you can find on the Accuphase web site. Edit: I just found your thread about the...- Bso

Choosing a DAC with a good VC - Lampizator Pacific vs EMM Labs DV2 vs MSB Premier
FWIW given experience with well-engineered Meitner products I think the DV2 is a sensible contender. I especially like his emphasis on DSD/DXD. The DV2 might be a treat in your tube system.- Bso

Choosing a DAC with a good VC - Lampizator Pacific vs EMM Labs DV2 vs MSB Premier
It appears that there are 'DACs of the week' - part of the hobby, I guess. As a contrarian, I suggest something from a venerable company, the Benchmark Media Systems DAC 3 L. It comes with a volume control and a remote.
