Ebm it was as i stated a thought i had in the night ,it wasnt meant to be important . But thanks for the comment .. |
Nice table ive had some of the lower dp way back i sold denon .. I liked the 47 and 65 for the bucks the 80 is beefy .. |
Jpherry thise proacs are hard to beat i have always like them
|
I was just throwing it out there , i was considering msrp .I often wonder when i see some of these killer anologue setups what is down stream .. I consider my setup no slouch but one mans floor is anothers ceiling .. My vpi classic 1 w/10" and a benz with cables sounds pretty sweet through my az adagios az ref cable 👍 Most of the time my sunfire gathers dust .. |
As for the linn principle , well I believe spkrs first .But as a musician i can say i would choose guitar then amp then pa .. Thats a whole another addition , thanks gosh i dont have 20+ turntables too lol |
Azjake would you care to elaborate a little on your setup .. Just curious thats all .iI wasn’t try to start a linn anti linn battle , i was just curious what people were running comparatively .. Of course amp pre cd dac etc etc is part of the equation but i posted in the anolgue just to get some feedback 👍 |

14x16x10' exposed beams ,6" thick solid wood timber frame , carpeted cement floor one reclining sofa and a 2:1 and a rack lol |
Every heard the same performer at different venues they still slep all the same gear |
I am enjoying this discussion .. For me i truly believe as difficult as it may be at times in our lives switching rooms or houses, that it all starts with the room then the source ( just like i mentioned my guitar) then downhill just my opinion it all matters and syncronicity of choices are key i have heard 1k spkrs sound amazing and 25 k spkrs sound weak |
Thats all that matters ... |
I,d rather hear a clean source thru mid grade speakers ,then mid grade source through high end spkrs .Balance is key(as a musician),I grab my prs or my martin guitar and plug it into a decent amp(even a practice amp ) vs grabbing my mid grade epihone and play it through a nice tube marshall ..I plug the prs into the tube marshall ..But again i believe the room acoustics play a large role in the overall performance of spkrs.The tt is gonna perform its task in any room(yes a good match cart tonearm etc ) just my two cents. with my sub I,m about even,not because i chose it just went that way.I can say it will overtake the spkrs when i step up in level with cartridge.currently i run a benz ace (classic 1)
|
I also believe that at a level ,you determine what that is** .The speakers will overtake the tt. If you have a 200k pair of wilsons in a custom room ,well it will be an expensive anolgue rig ,but cost to me doesn't mean great sound in all cases .. |
Nadric,
You are correct,this discussion started by a mid night thought and pure curiousity .I started the discussion just for fun to hear some imput.It was never meant to credit or discredit anyone choices .
|
Interesting hearing the comments ..Raul .. I am a musician so i think that way, just me .. Room acoustics play a huge role no matter who says what period! Sometime playback can be epic with less pricey spkrs or equipment . Often it corralates with volume your hoping to achieve . I dont know how far back to some i go but at 17 (1985) started really getting serious with my audio gear and guitars for that age i bought my first magnepans with a luxman amp then began selling high end gear, and was a live sound engineer for some big names in the 90s .. Ive seen acoustics wreak havoc on sound .. Its al about balance and unless you roll upgrades are gradual .. |
Jolly 👍I agree .. I was just curious no more no less thanks for your imput |
Inna ,
Perfect example of room acoustics same show in a bar probly not the same sound ,paco is great ..being around some of the biggest rock musicians in my life and being in the sound engineer field ( which can make quirky seem normal ) it still amazes me the reactions to comments by audiophile elite ( not in this post particularly mostly articles ). There are so many amazing people in this hobby , but sometimes the elite snobbyness can be a real turnoff . Just my simple opinion, i love playing the tunes , mixing them live or in the studio and i love listening to them all by my lonesome 😬 At my house hidden in the norcal mtns 👍 Almost always vinyl
|
Thanks inna
I have somewhat walked away from the music scene amomg others . I enjoy music in general all music .. I find a zen space when im in my listening room spinning vinyl . I simply had a thought one night " i wonder what percent a person has wrapped up in there anolgue section compared to there entire system" it was never meant to alienate or include anyone . I have a decent system az adagios mf nu vista and vpj classic etc i though to myself what does a guy with a 250 k set of wilsons use , it never discounted the dp35 denon guy running nht spkrs. My guitar collection .. Well its serious so i get the extremes and mutiple units and gear . I'm mellow now and just kick back and raise my daughter with my wife . Luckly i still can have a set 2:1 room seperate ht room and my own studio 😬 I rarely get to use any of them lol |
Agreed ...wow how cool would that be . As for the room acoustic i spent most of my life dealing with acoustics . They can be deal breakers i have read people write about placement and this and that making little difference . Well from my experience as a sound engineer its makes one hellava difference . As i said a great acoustical space can make a modest system sound great . Volume is what we tend to pay for or the ability to fill large spaces . For instance i have acoustic zen adagios ( which are killer) 5k msrp in a 13x 16 x10 something like that . Mr lee says there is no reason to upgrade to his next spkrs 14 k it will be overkill . Just like when i had mg 1.7( cple grand )if i had 3.5 it would be too much . Now in my humble opinion either of these the adagio or my 1.7 would benefit from a killer front end . How much ? Well thats in the eye of the beholder some people think youve lost your mind when you have 25 k in a 2:1 system . Some have that in cables ya now . |

I enjoyed that and I agree this indeed has been interesting.I enjoy the conversation.This hobby has so many small and large variables.Matching the complete setup creating the synergy is the key coupled with the right space and of course the optimum lp or any source. |
thanks for the imput,
Hey vusi what is your front end set up if you dont mind me asking |
Vusi
Serious buddy sounds slick .. |
Hey stewert

just curious
|
Very nice .....i have had quite a few maggies i was a salesman yrs ago .. |
There killer in the right room there tough the beat .. Mine were tubed cj powered |

Just because this thread is still rolling I have stepped up somethings in my phono section and have hit probly 125% turntable to spkrs. Like i said i was just curious I do not believe it plays a definative role in all circumstances |
