Tubes and Turntables Rule!
Rogue RP1 preamp not pictured, but contributing along with Rega RB-300 tonearm and Audio Technica AT0C9 moving coil cartridge.
What's the phono preamp?
I got the Karousel for my LP12 two weeks ago... now I got an LP12/Karousel/Trampolin/Lingo/Ittok LV-II/Grado Master 1 (low output)... with a DIY custom Pearl 2 phono preamp... CJ PV9 with teflon caps... etc.... the sound iof my LPs is now exceptional, even with LPs that I've owned since '73...
The CJ amp is fine... the single most important thing, though, is to get the front end correct! Good start. The thing about the LP12 is the upgrade path... and it just gets better and Better and BETTER! ;-)
HoffmanMysterTube amps like this CJ often have separate outputs for 4, 8, and 16 ohm speakers, matching separate "taps" on the output transformers. I am currently connected to the 8 ohm outputs as my Legacy Signature III speakers are 6 ohms. I tried the 4 ohm output but they sound better at 8 ohm outputs.
TechSamLegacy Audio Signature IIIs for front left and right, Legacy Audio SilverScreen for center. Use the Signature IIIs both with vinyl and home theater, SilverScreen just with home theater.
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
