So I've got my new amp hooked up and have been testing it out for about a month now. Does it blow me away? No sir... Does it sound better? Absolutely... This PS Audio Stellar Strata is pretty basic but it is built like a tank, thick metal panels line the outside frame. The main difference I...

I just recently got an original German pressing of Yoshimi on translucent red wax, which sounds pretty amazing to me. Which version is this?

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...

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...

Thanks nopiano... I should have known that by now😄

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

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

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...

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?

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...

Now there you go being all logical n stuff:p

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...

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...

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?
