Didn't know it was the other way around. Was the designer of both tables the same? Mine has the Ittok II arm on it. While I had my Linn in at Classic Sound, he adjusted the suspension, as he said it was a bit off. Could be from transporting it in the car the couple times. After listening to my...

Nice table Nando. Looks very similar to mine, yes. Didn't know there may be Linn copies out there.

Hi Nando's. No they don't have one in the shop to listen to. They have to get a customer to bring his in for demo as per their arrangement.

I had the chance today to listen to my stereo shops custom made by Classic Valve Design- Solaris phono preamp. I just got my turntable finished from the store with a newly mounted Dynavector 17D3 Karat MC cartridge. While it was at the shop, I had the owner have a customer bring in the Classic...

Happy belated birthday, Dave!

My turntable is already finished. He has it ready to go with the new cart installed. I won't be able to pick it up till Thursday 31st though. Another 2 weeks away.

NAV, Now that's my kind of cake smash! :)

Nando- I was hoping the phono cartridge upgrade would be a good improvement. From what I've read, it should be. I'll be using the YBA phono stage with a MC step up transformer connected for the time being. The custom tube phono stage is an option for down the road, depending if it will be...

Nice Steven. I went out for lunch today with 2 members of family. Had some cake for dinner. I'm really going to pay for eating two pieces of it :P I dropped off my Linn turntable so he can install the new Dynavector 17D3 Karat cartridge on it I ordered in December. That is coming next week and...

Thanks guys! I actually did take the day off work. Nothing really planned though. Just a day to relax which is what I really need since I normally work 6 days a week.

No amp doesn't have a power outlet. Again not worried because my power conditioner has an on off switch which I can plug it into to turn it off. I plan on keeping both preamps. Tube preamp will go into my secondary system. I've invested too much in the tube pre to get rid of it. It still needs...

Hi Steve, I can power this through my conditioner which does have an off button. So its really not an issue. For today I just unplugged it for now.

I used the same SACD player output with splitters to 2 cables- each to each preamp. I then disconnected the preamp output from one preamp to the other preamp and connected that to the main amp. So basically I should be getting the same signal into both preamps and the outputs are separated from...

Not in the mood to hook it up tonight, but I did get it home and unpacked.

Well this preamp is coming in the mail today. I'll pick it up after work. Hook it up and compare its sound against the Sonic Frontiers currently in the system. I'm betting the YBA will beat it.

I just made the deal with a seller for a YBA 2 preamp with MM phono section included. I wasn't completely happy with my Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 preamp, so I went ahead with my original plan to buy this preamp. I'm hoping this preamp will offer what my Rotel did, but with refinement. The SFL-2...

Gepetto- anything in the above specs stand out or is it pretty standard stuff?

And here is the YBA 2 HC amp specs: Description: Dual-mono solid-state power amplifier. Maximum power output: 70W into 8 ohms (18.5dBW), 140W into 4 ohms (18.5dBW). Frequency response: 5Hz-80kHz, -3dB. Input sensitivity: 120mV RMS for 1W/8 ohms, 1.1V RMS for rated output. Input impedance: 27k...

Amp being used with this pre is a YBA 2 HCDT. I have heard comments about YBA have mismatches, but I wonder how that would cause a sound depth problem? That said my Rotel did very well with the YBA and yes the Rotel is solid state. Here are the specs of the SFL-2 Pre: (YBA 2 pre is at bottom...

I gave this preamp some more listening while it waits to be taken in for repairs. It sounds good, but it didn't retain the sound my Rotel did with the music sounding like it fills the room, not coming from the speakers. Since this is the second unit I've had that retained this quality, I'm...
