In Reply to: Just got a Dorian... posted by Frederick on September 12, 2006 at 09:55:30:
What preamp are you using it with?
Follow Ups:
The Dorian/Vanguard does seem to lack a little warmth overall compared to the BP No. 2/Sumiko Phono Box II I was using for. The Dorian/Vanguard definitely sounds cleaner, more refined, more accurate, but overall it is a bit less emotionally involving, at least to me. I know the new gear is in a whole different league in terms of quality, but this is just what I am finding.For example- with the Blue Point No.2/Phono Box II pretty much everything sounded warm and nice. Adding the Vanguard to the BP2 made it sound even better. The Vanguard/Dorian is SO accurate I may prefer something less accurate! For example... I played "It was a Very Good Year" by Frank Sinatra. The recording is a bit warm and I have to tell you, the Dorian/Vanguard simply blew me away with the sound AND emotional involvement. Then I played some Bryan Adams from "Cuts Like a Knife". Sounds great but my foot didn't get tapping.
Any comments, will break-in help?
One of my favorite Sinatra songs, and one of my favorite songs ever.
Just switched from 47k to 100k and it seems to sound better. What effect does that have, and how does it work?
