Re: Keces Ephono & Epower supply
The buzz has been eliminated. My Rega tonearm has a Incognito wiring harness. The ground wire had a alligator clip. Clip cut-wire stripped-buzz gone!
And so far, the Keces is awesome! -

Since it was on sale, and I am getting a 14 day trial, the Ephono & Ephono power supply have been ordered. Good timing, since the sale ended later the same day!

Sticky: Poll: Re: What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?
In May of last year, I purchased a First Watt F6.
last week, I added a RB10 tube preamp from Audio by Van Alstine. It is a new model and sounds very good in my system!
Results 1 to 25 of 40
I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
