    Cambridge Audio Evo150

    Thanks! I'll be sure to follow up with a report. My current plans are to upgrade my TT with a Rega P6 and possibly a Rega MK3 phonostage. From the little bit of reading I've done its supposed to be a killer combo...

    Cambridge Audio Evo150

    At this point yes. Maybe down the road I would get into separates. I'm just trying to get away from the "el cheapo" amp I'm currently using. I actually just purchased a PS-Audio Stellar Strata integrated amp this afternoon. Being a refurbished unit I got a got a good deal on it. I realize that...

    Another reason I wanted the 150 is because it has a dedicated sub output. If I happen to get an amp without that output is there another way or perhaps a better way to connect a sub?

    Why? It seems like on paper the 150 has more power? I know power isn't everything but Have you heard both amps? Thanks

    Cambridge Audio Evo150

    Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it much. I still would like for someone to give me an idea of what kind of difference this will make in my listening experience going from such a low end amp to this amp... thanks

    Cambridge Audio Evo150

    I've been researching amp upgrades for years. I've likely been looking at higher end stuff than I may actually require. I think I am about to just go with the Cambridge Evo 150 unit since it looks like a really good value with a multitude of features and sufficient performance. My speakers are...

    CD vs vinyl playback

    I can just see myself Really? Well you learn something new everyday... So If I'm listening to an SACD then I'm essentially listening to DSD audio?

    CD vs vinyl playback

    Well... For MY ears it's vinyl all day. Of course some records dissapoint me but I've never listened to a CD and been floored by it. Maybe it's possible but I have yet to experience it. I have some CDs that sound great. I just got a few of the 24k "gold" CDs and some of them sound very nice. I...

    Audiophile witch hunt or basic common sense?

    I have no materialistic "obsession" whatsoever but if I do happen to spend my hard earned money on music, or anything else for that matter, I want something to show for it. I'm puzzled by people who piss money away renting a home for decades when they could have been working towards ownership...

    Audiophile witch hunt or basic common sense?

    Different strokes for different folks I guess. I think that's kind of where we're going with this whole thread. I'm not totally against streaming. I use streaming occasionally. Another thing I don't care for is another monthly charge. It's just a personal preference but I DESPISE monthly...

    Clearaudio Signature

    I've always been enamored with German engineering and the Clearaudio Signature has caught my eye since it was released. Just curious if anyone owns this table here or has any experience with it?

    Audiophile witch hunt or basic common sense?

    I like both but I prefer physical media because I hate having yet another set of menus to cycle through and connections to this, connections to that. Its just another hassle I'd rather not deal with. Your internet goes down? Guess what... no music, probably even if you've purchased it, lol.

    Power conditioners

    Yes. Sorry I needed to clarify that. In my original post I kind of made it sound like I was hearing all kinds of noise. I'm just hearing a popping when I flip the switch to turn the platter on. It has a 3 way switch(off, fwd, and rev) it also has a 2 way switch for the vacuum system. I need to...
