Takatsuki Electric TA-300B
My friend never get back to me with the new TA-300 availability, so I went ahead and brought a new TRI Triode TRV-845SE amp. 2A3C drives 845. Won't be messing with 300B for a while :-) http://www.flickr.com/photos/9609046@N06/7201503250/in/photostream Cheers ! Dominic Quote:- CADiver

Anedio D2 DAC release
Found this old 2007 Stereophile review http://www.stereophile.com/content/linn-ekos-se-tonearm-keel-lp12-subchassis-trampolin-turntable-base-page-3 that gives us an idea of the stock price of LP-12 ... A new LP12 turntable retails for $2810, and a new Lingo power supply adds $1810...- CADiver

Anedio D2 DAC release
I do not disagree (but may be for different reason) with this either and it is also pretty ugly by today's standard. :-) Quote:- CADiver

Anedio D2 DAC release
I do not disagree with this either :-) It is ugly ! Take out the dial, center the display and put a gold chrome faceplate behind will work for me. :-) Think Jadis ... Or use solid hardwood, think Unison Research ... :-) Quote:- CADiver

Anedio D2 DAC release
.... Probably because no one buy a "new" LP-12 these days. Even if there is, I wonder what configuration a new one would really means, is a basic or is it a Cirkus equivalent ? Does it come witha Lingo powers supply by default ? Those are probably some of the factors why no one know what it...- CADiver

Anedio D2 DAC release
Listening to the D2 via USB using JRiver for a day now, it's a pretty impressive little DAC. I compared against a few vinyl and finally had to admit the differences has greatly reduced, I use an LP12. But I would also say it's still miles behind from top notch anlogue like Transrotor or Da...- CADiver

Takatsuki Electric TA-300B
Quote: The TA-300 is all round better sounding than the Carbon Sophia Princess but not necessary against Royal Princess. As a matter of fact, they have different sounding character. Sophia Royal Princess, to me is modern 300B sound, lot of bass weight, impact, fast, tight, it's louder...- CADiver

Sophia Electric Royal Princess 300B
I have both. Princess is nice especially when you swap out the stock Russian/Chinese tube, it's a level above Sevelenta, JJ, it's a more 'hi-fi' 300b tube with a modern sound/presentation. I do recommend them over many similar priced 300b with the exception of Shuanguang black tressure or...- CADiver
