phono preamp

  1. D

    Anyone have experience with the Acurus P10 or Aragon 47k phono preamp?

    I can find little information on these two preamps. From what I have read so far, they are supposed to be similar. One posting described the Aragon as being the same with the exception of the power supply being external to the preamp enclosure itself. One may use better resistors than the other...

    H/K Citation 17S Preamp-Repair or move on

    Hi, all, First time posting. I have a H/K Citation 17S that has a problem with the phono board, which results in the left output significantly lowers than the right side. I know it's the phono board because line level inputs are fine and I have done other troubleshooting/diagnostics. I don't...

    Bugle 2, Lounge Audio or Cambridge 651p preamp?

    I recently upgraded my turntable after 30 years to a Pro-ject Carbon DC with an Ortofon Red cartridge. I'm running it through an old Denon AV amp to a pair of kef q900's. I'd like to get a phono preamp, in part to connect to my computer to digitize my records, but mainly for listening pleasure...

    My Sherwood s5000 hums. Help!

    I bought a recapped Sherwood s5000 which hums, most horrendously on the phono stage. Hum is low and acceptable on the monitor input where I plug my ipod in. Problem is I mostly listen to vinyl. My tube-tech friend found that the 4 output tubes weren't rated for the high voltage that this thing...

    Brand new to vinyl, would appreciate input on my system setup

    I'm so new to vinyl that I don't even have a turntable yet, haha. That's because I'm waiting for the Rega Planar 3 2016. I haven't bought any components yet, but I have a system setup in mind, but wanted to run it by the community to see if I was over spending / under spending in any...

    2SA750 -> ZTX795A = hum? (Rotel RX-803 phono)

    My Rotel RX-803 had a noisy phono section, so I though I'd try swapping out some transistors, starting with the PNP input pairs. I replaced the original 2SA750's with Zetex ZTX795A's. Now I've got serious 60hz hum. I've double checked the pinout: 750's are ECB, 795's are EBC, but I've got the...

    ART USB Phono Plus with a Pangea Audio P 100

    Has anyone tried this combo? I have a spare P100 and was wondering if there was any issue with compatibility. If not, does anyone had a solid recommendation for an alternate PSU that can be turned off and on?
