The DT770s are the new object of my affection, and at quite the affordable price used. Scored them off reddit, 75 bucks shipped, 80 ohm version but stock cable replaced with coiley cable that's normally on the 250 ohm version. Immediately loved the bass, but I did find the treble a bit...

Oh woe was me, with my LCD-2 getting kind of stale, as was my OG HE-400. It's been like 8 years with my 2 planars. Sure I could EQ some bass boost, but still something was missing. Enter the Mod House Argon mk3, just what I needed with its party animal sound signature. Big booming impactful...

Gave it a couple listens in 24-96, compared it to the SHM-SACD, and must say this thoroughly spanks the SACD. So dynamic, more clarity, more impactful bass. Cleaner, blacker background, more involving, a huge upgrade and this recording needed it. Great historic level rock and roll, now sounding...

Been mulling this one over, whether to change phono stages. I'm pretty happy with the Phonomena, that is after the addition of a SUT, the Phasemation T-300.

I've never tried a step up transformer before, but I'm very curious and eager to try one. Reason being that my phono stage, a Musical Surroundings Phonomena, when configured for MC use at 60dB gain, is rather noisy. There's a hiss and a hum that raises the noise floor at idle to about 45dB. I...

VAS Inc. in NJ seems to do great work, and trustworthy to send my precious Koetsu Black for microsurgery. Much less waiting time than Soundsmith, and less red tape to cut through. Chose to do this over buying a new cart, budget wasn't too high so had my eye on an Audio Technica AT33PTG/2...

Hi there, Merry Christmas! Came into some Christmas money so am about to pull the trigger on one of these amps, but need a little advice first. I know that if cost were no object, the Purifi Eigentakt is an easy decision, but I'd really be stretching the budget to do so. Would I really be...
