| Appreciate Some Dac Advice +1 Pontus II. A really great sounding DAC. | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Piece by piece, I’ve purchased almost my entire system from Upscale. I’ve been to their showroom for demos twice (I drove down from Oregon) and also had lengthy phone conversations with both Kevin and Kat. In all instances they were nothing but pa... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? @atisv99 - thanks for checking in. The bottom line is that I really like the Manley Chinook. How does it compare to other phono stages like the Herron? I don’t know because I’ve never heard one in my system. Going back to my original question, how... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl For the record (pun intended), I bought two “super hot stamper” LPs from Better Records two weeks ago. They both sound really great. I’ve got multiple copies of one of them, both old and heavyweight reissue, and the copy I got from Better Records ... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? @rauliruegas: Thank you for your considered and thoughtful input. I don’t think I’ll get rid of my tube gear just yet, but I always appreciate different perspectives.Have a great weekend and yes, enjoy the music.-12Hz | |
| Review on Tekton Design Perfect Set Speaker just went live on Six Moons.com During my reviewing process I tested thePS with SET tube amps and very high powered solid state designs all with great success. Your Pimaluna piece would be a great match.Thanks for your prompt and to-the-point response, @teajay. | |
| Review on Tekton Design Perfect Set Speaker just went live on Six Moons.com Would this speaker also work well with a non-SET source, or is it specialized to the point of sounding good with only a narrow range of amplifiers? (I have a Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated.) Thanks. | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? Thanks everyone for a lively discussion and lots of useful feedback. I pulled the trigger yesterday on the Manley Chinook Special Edition MK II, so I’ll be up and running with a new phono stage this weekend sometime if all goes as planned. | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? Now, to answer your question, we could probably agree (or not) that Herron could be better in some systems, and Chinook in others. But, the Herron costs double. So, for me, moving up from $800 Jolida to $2500 (retail) Chinook, I don't see a reas... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? Thanks, @jbhiller. This is the sort of testimonial I was hoping to hear. I really would like to look into the Herron as well, with so much positive feedback about it, but it's over 1K more than the Manley, so I can't really consider it for that re... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? millercarbon:The OP has his mind set on all tubes. Others have their mind set on features. Or whatever.For those with their mind set on music, and especially for those musically minded listeners willing to listen and decide for themselvesI'm actua... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? Thanks everyone for your useful comments. Ultimately I wasn’t looking for suggestions as to which phono stage to upgrade to, as I’ve done research ad nauseam and landed on the Manley Chinook Special Edition MK II. The Gold Note seems to have a lot... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? Thanks, photon46. I haven't heard of that one--I'll look into it. I quite like the sound of tubes, so I'm trying to keep things aligned with that preference. Is the RCM Sensor Prelude a tube phono stage? (Easy enough to find out, I suppose.) | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I have Mapleshade speaker wires between my Primaluna Dialogue HP and my Tannoy XT8F speakers. They seem to be doing a good job, but I have little to compare them to. Does anybody else have an opinion about these wires?http://www.mapleshadestore.co... | |
