    Amp suggestions for Marten Coltrane Tenor

    Hi Crom. Ended up with the tried and tested Vitus Combo. While it wouldn't grab your attention straight away, it gives me hours upon hours of listening without fatigue, which is something I really appreciate in an amplifier. The Audionet did give me something to think about, but to me, those...

    Phono cable recommendations?

    I came really close to buying the Avondale too. The way it's constructed makes it really difficult to re-terminate too I guess?

    Phono cable recommendations?

    Thanks for the suggestion. But as you pointed out, I do need a little more space at the back, so a right angle plug is probably the best option. Anyway depending on how things go, I just might be changing my table and arm in the next 2 months, so will just enjoy the music for now! Thanks...

    JCAT Signature Gold LAN Cable

    I have had similar experiences with the JCat Signature Lan Gold. I have tried a whole variety of cables, including offerings from TotalDac, Viard, Wireworld and Vovox and Sablon. Generally, I would classify them as being on the more musical side of the spectrum. My current reference for Lan...

    Phono cable recommendations?

    Hi OP here! I am actually in the process of looking through some phono pres as well, and just might pull the trigger on one, but that's for another discussion. To be honest, there is a consideration of end-game itch. I have learnt the same through my digital set-up, and have kept the same...

    Phono cable recommendations?

    Dear Khun Tang Thank you for your kind advice. I have always enjoyed reading your posts, and that will be something I think about going forward. For now, I have tried the default cable once again, but there is an obvious and discernible difference. Perhaps going forward I will consider...

    Phono cable recommendations?

    Hi there I have some basic setup tools like protractors and scales, but whenever I mount a new cart, there's a guy in the local circle that does this for a living, just to be extra sure. With regards to the shrillness, it's uniform across all furutech cables that I have owned, so maybe...

    Phono cable recommendations?

    My thought process is that I want to buy one cable which will follow me through my upgrades. A better arm and a better cartridge will cost significantly more than what I intend to spend on the cable.

    Phono cable recommendations?

    Dear all, been a happy user of the forums. Gained a lot of interesting perspectives, and for now, it is a relatively friendly place. I have been discovering the joys of vinyl playback recently, and my setup currently consists of an Avid Volvere SP, with an SME IV tonearm and an Airtight PC3...

    NEW ZenWave PSR-14 UPOCC Silver Ribbon Power Cable

    I was the next person to demo the cable in Singapore I have been very lucky to try a variety of power cables from big names, and I have to say that at this price point (and beyond) , the zenwave psr 14 ranks among the best I have heard. In my system consisting of a Vitus pre and power amp to a...

    Roon coming to CH C1

    Hi Ralph, once again thanks for your great advice on my ch precision journey so far. My current setup does not have roon involved as it goes from lan point to melco to ch precision c1 connected via ethernet cables. Would I still benefit from the ethernet_hd card? Thanks!
