    Any love for Thrax Teres mk2?

    I feel is time to upgrade my amp and not easy to make a choice. Currently playing MSB discrete and Linn LP12 through Vitus RI-101 mkII with TAD ME-1. Beside the wish for an overall improvement, I’d like to improve dynamics and details at low volume, let’s say 70db. I like Vitus sounds and it...

    Distorted beat

    Hi! So I have a turntable connected to my amp via the phono output, but every time I play a record, it seems that I get a distorted sound every beat. Now I tried adjusting it by adjusting the bass, but it doesn't seem to help. Does this mean the phono output of my amp is broken? I also read...

    Matching Pre-amps and Amps: Same Brand or Not?

    Traditionally I have thought that the selection of a preamplifier and the selection of an amplifier are opportunities to select in each case the component you think sounds best for your system, regardless of manufacturer. I have never held a presumption that one should buy a pre-amplifier and...
