    Phasemation PP-2000 vs. Dynavector XV-1t

    A short news is that I got a demo if the Phasemation PP-500 paired with the EA-1200 from the same brand, and it was … a pure musical bliss. One incredible moment in audiophile life. I could not imagine what this really expensive Phono stage could deliver with the higher end PP-2000. Since this...

    Phasemation PP-2000 vs. Dynavector XV-1t

    Hi there, I also own (since a few days only..) a Phasemation cart ie. their PP-500 model. I have read that the PP-2000 was launched first, then they derived the PP-500 out of it. The PP-1000 is an older design, as far as I understand the various iterations of the Phasemation cartridges. I...

    Looking for a Turntable & Tonearm combo; which one ?

    This TT is interesting as well; however I though it was much more expensive with the matching arm. Maybe I was wrong in my assumption. From the various auditions @ Munich Show I'm not certain this is the sound I'm looking for ... Maybe a bit lean and "lacking some meat on the bone" as we like...

    Looking for a Turntable & Tonearm combo; which one ?

    Grazie mille for these info. I keep that in my head if ever I would opt for the WB Circle 25 or another model.

    Looking for a Turntable & Tonearm combo; which one ?

    Nice turntable indeed. And not crazily expensive. Thanks for reminding me of the Anniversary 25 version.

    Looking for a Turntable & Tonearm combo; which one ?

    Dear Vinyl friends. I do have a good number of vinyls but have sold my venerable LINN LP12 + Ittok + NAIN Armageddon many years back. I quite regret this decision now... I'm looking for a turntable and matching tonearm combo, which work well together and with the following imperative...

    Nagra PLL/VPS/Jazz owners, have you tried the Nagra MPS - I have

    Thanks again/merci jfrech, If I get the Nagra Classic it is my firm intention to have the balanced transformers on the outputs. For the preamp inputs this is less essential as my dCS Vivaldi DAC can provide a quality single ended signal on its RCA sockets. ;-) The “Nagra itch” is affecting...

    Nagra PLL/VPS/Jazz owners, have you tried the Nagra MPS - I have

    Thank you jfrech, I think I remember you tried the Classic preamp in your system before acquiring the HD model. Was this Classic unit equipped with these balanced transformers for both Inputs and Outputs ? My JMF Audio amplifier is very much designed to match with a preamplifier providing a...

    Nagra PLL/VPS/Jazz owners, have you tried the Nagra MPS - I have

    Hi Guys, I might soon get a Nagra Classic preamp. Has anyone of you tested the benefit of this (costly) MPS separated power supply unit ? The Classic preamp already comes with its own internal poser supply module. I’m also wondering if an ACPS-II external supply could bring any good to this...
