My main setup is Meze Elites with a McIntosh MHA200 amp or Topping A90D, and my turntable is a relatively new Rega P10 /w Apheta 3. My speakers are Elac Vela FS 407.
I’ve tested on various headphones and turntables / CD players / streaming devices, it’s not device specific. For headphones I’ve tried Meze Elites and Empyreans, Focal Clears, Audeze LCD3, Grado SR225, Beyerdynamic DT990, Sennheiser IE900, AirPods and AirPods Pro. For turntables I’ve tried the Rega P10, Marantz TT15, U-Turn Orbit, and Technics SL-1200G, all with maybe a dozen different cartridges between them. I clean my records with an electrostatic cleaner, but also sometimes test other cleaning methods or just playing the record new, so I know it’s not a cleaning method that’s accidentally destroying the records.
Vinyl, CD, Streaming, playing through my setup or on my iPhone or on other people’s setups, it doesn’t matter, it’s always the same issues. So I know it’s not the setup.
