Albert Porter's SystemNo doubt about the gain diff between RCA and XLR. I have not tried any exotic fuses in the H5000. There is only one for the PS chassis, correct ?I agree...I love this phono stage...the TAK'... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemHi Albert,You are correct, I have not been posting much...just listening to the rig. I am finally satisfied. I asked the question on the H5000 outputs as I had been using XLR since the begi... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

Rockitman's SystemAllnic H5000 DHT phono output connection. What are users of this phono stage using...XLR or RCA outs ? I think XLR is transformer coupled since there is a switch that must be turned on for XLR as t... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemHi Albert,I have had the Tak's in for a week now. I find rolling rectifiers makes a more dramatic difference in the overall sound balance. The improvement with the Tak's seems more subtle. ... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemHi Albert...sorry I was confused. I thought you were talking about the D5000 DAC, not the H5000 phono stage. posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemNo need Albert. I ordered a pair through Amazon for 1580 shipped a pair. Can you describe the improvement you hear ? posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemLooks like you do have them. I Got lost in the thread. I will give the Tak's a try. posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemAlbert,I think I will buy mine through amazon. Do you have your Takatsuki's installed yet and hear similar improvements that Arnie is hearing in The H5000 DHT ? posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemDo you have a link for the tak's direct ? Any other 300b worth trying like nos western electric ? The price is painful. I am amazed that not only the rectifier choice matters for the power supply. posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemArnie and Albert...are you hearing improvements with rolling the H5000 DHT 300B's. Those Takatsuki's are awful expensive for a test....to see if they work better than stock. posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemI still use the stock 300B's in the power supply and use all the chimneys there except for the rectifiers. The 5U4G's I use don't quite fit in the chimneys from what I recall. On the gain stage I u... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemThe VT50's cost $50.00. KS has the virtually the entire worldwide supply. The krons are $300.0/per tube. If the noisy VT50 can't take domestic abuse if misbehaving then pull it out and plug in a ne... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemThe VT50's do have a tendency to be noisy. I find most if the time, a little thwack to the tube and or a re-seat in the socket helps. I always put my ear up to the speaker before a listening sessio... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Rockitman's SystemKnghifi... I think you will be very pleased. If you like large orchestral stuff from RCA Living Stereo or Mercury, you will be blown away. That genre really shines with this grounding stuff. posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
