I definitely recommend playing with the op-amps. I have enjoyed rolling them in my Geshelli J2S and have started on my Kinki EX-M1+. So far in the Kinki I have updated the amp output op-amp with a Sparkos 3602. Immediately noticed a bump in the weight of the music. Everything is still smooth...

Since everyone is drinking this afternoon…

I considered getting one of these as I like the iFI iPower supplies for my DAC and streamer, but I decided against it as my system is quiet and I’m not sure I’d get any sonic benefits. https://audio46.com/products/ifi-powerstation-outlet-mains-with-anc

I use a Furman PST8. It’s been a solid performer for many years.

I have a 15’ version of this cable. Phono Pre to integrated amp. No complaints.

All of that and the source is a Zen Stream. I like it! The ZS (Roon endpoint) is my main streamer. As much as I like the EverSolo A8, I think I’m going to sell it to get cash towards a new cart for the UltraDeck and some new speakers (likely Forte IV).

I guess it’s all relative. I have the Starkrimson Ultra and have been super impressed with it in my system.

So I take it these parts aren’t hard to replace. Correct? On another topic, how hard is it to setup a new cartridge on an UltraDeck?

I’m a big Orchard Audio fan. If I ever get some mono blocks I’m getting these.

What were you using fore the MP8B?

I hate to admit this, but I think cables made a difference. I had extra Viborg USB and AudioQuest RCA to 3.5mm cables in my drawer and switched them with the generic cables I had been using on my desk setup (see below) and I think I’m hearing improved detail and dynamics in the music. I’m going...

Definitely considering front loading DAC and cart purchases I was considering for later in the year to avoid these potential tariff driven price increases. My speaker upgrade options are narrowed down to Klipsch, Zu, and smaller builders. I wonder how much tariffs on parts will affect them?

I think stupid prices are going to be the new normal for the foreseeable future.

I’ve had the MasterTracker in my ID for the past year. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a new cart I’m leaning towards the Hana SH mk2. It’ll be my first moving coil cart. The MasterTracker has been a solid performer for me. Warm and rich with good dynamics compared to the Sumiko...

Thanks for the update. Good to know MoFi is standing by there decks. My UD is just over a year old and performing well hopefully this continues.

I run15’ Worlds Best Cables RCA from my phono preamp to my amp. It works great.

That how they are supposed to be set up.

15 years ago I had 3 kids running around the house. I had gotten rid of my Sony amp and 5 CD changer (mistake) and Polk book shelfs that got me through college and was going all in on streaming. Squeezebox FTW! I had a Sonos amp and a pair of mid range Polk Towers. Rarely got to listen to that...

Great comparison review of the GR2, 1300G, and 1200G. Also, mentions how the Denon dp3000 compares. Need more reviews like this. https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/turntable-and-accessories-reviews/turntable-reviews/technics-grand-class-sl-1200gr2-sl-1300g-and-sl-1200g/
