    Built for the love of music...

    As a perspective Legacy owner I am curious about the amp. Its been replaced by much more expensive amps so I’d like to hear about how they compare. I bounce back and forth between the Legacy and Coda to drive Legacy Calibres that I hope are in my future.

    Mini Review: Lyra Delos

    I’m interested in the Lyra but my system is already a bit forward so something a little laid back would be a better fit. Also pondering Phasemation and MSL. Not sure where that’s going lol but will need a new art I. The next 6 months. my phone is a current injection type so no loading.

    Experience with Mola Mola Lupe

    Nice write up. I’m content with my current phono but if I could get a used Ypsilon I’d do it anyway. Seems almost mythical.

    On my way up: I want to be wow’d!

    I currently have an AT33PTG/II and for the money it seems like a great value. As I rack up the hours, I’m pondering my next step. ART9 would be obvious but I’m not looking for incremental gains but rather I want to be wow’d. I’d like to find something with low resistance (under 10ohms). That...

    Quick Question RE: Transimpedance/CI

    Maybe I’m wrong but I thought that a transimpedance phonostage needed more gain for higher resistance carts. Like a 1 ohm cart needs less than a 20ohm. if this is correct then why would a company make 2 flavors of a given phone stage; one that’s 0 to 5 ohms and one that’s 5-40ohms? I’m sorry...
