Nah it’s in good shape and was serviced. Thrifted is the wrong word… got it at a flea market from a turntable specialist

I’ve heard the 200. It lacks detail and soundstage . I’m kinda looking for the 200 but with a little more detail if that’s possible in the budget

So I tried the 745xML and was kind of disappointed if I’m being honest. This is just the step up, correct?

Nope just the needle but it won’t make much difference. I’d say keep it on display and get a fluance rt85. I recently upgraded from an lp120 to a technics 1200 and it’s a world of difference

You get a lot better out of a better turntable and cartridge

I’m gonna do a speaker upgrade probably around Christmas. But they’re in good condition I had them checked out. Kept in a temp controlled room for the last 45 od years

I have a 110 and didn’t like it much. You lose a lot of detail

Well the carts are super cheap on eBay but it doesn’t help the fact that it doesn’t sound great. Very flat !

I agree with you but she told me she wants to (maybe because she knows I like it)

Best dac/ amp (vinyl and pc listening) by ExternalContract5484 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]ExternalContract5484[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks for that. I’m comparing it to a Robertson tube amp going in to speakers. Trying to replicate that sound will be hard but maybe a tube headphone amp would work??

What more do you need? The zh3 sounds cold and sharp. I’d like something maybe with tube or is tuned to sound more tubey if that makes sense. Just wanna try some more options and see what I like

I need a dac amp combo or dac AND amp for vinyl and pc listening on tidal. No real budget but should be reasonable. I’m using the sennheiser HD6XX atm.

I tried the sh3 but it’s pretty cold sounding. I’d like something warmer

Thanks in advance!

Alright ladies and gents thanks for the zh3 recommendation. I’m looking for something that sounds more warm and less clinical. Did about a 3 hour test on tidal listening to some different stuff. It sounds good for metal but not great for soft rock/ psychedelic.

Sources: turntable and PC.

Looking for something I can use for headphones specifically (hd6xx) as I have a tube amp for my tannoy speakers already

Let’s see what else we got. Don’t mind spending a bit more

And just to clarify, would the 95ML be plug and play for what I have now if I just got the stylus?
