Re: Tom Evans Microgroove Plus

That's ok Dave. I only have a MM cartridge. It probably would not be worth all the effort to get it changed.
Thanks Mick.

Re: Tom Evans Microgroove Plus

I would be interested in the Tom Evans phono.
One question though, is it moving coil only?
If so is it possible to get it changed to MM?

Re: USB Regen from Uptone Audio

Nigel could be right. The power supplies are critical for the sound quality. I am still using the usb3 port at the rear of the PC. I have used the direct connection into the JKDAC 32. I use an Elijha Audio usb cable from PC to Regen. I am also using the supplied smps wall wart. Listening again today...

I connected the Regen and it was plug and play with no problems. It will not be going back. It certainly improved the o...
