| Most achingly-beautiful music Oh, Lang's "Constant Craving" is another fav. | |
| After a (weeks) worth of listening... @slaw K D Lang "Live by Request" is also awesome; but I don't have the LP. Does HDCD count?@slaw & @toddverrone,I own no Pearl Jam. I wonder why; but I heard "Black" on the car radio the other day and decided to fix that situation. So which do... | |
| Another soundstage question Thanks for the topic, @kalali. I have been working on the same thing. My soundstage is centered about ear/eye level. I don't know why that feels too low; but it does. My speakers are Canton Ergo 1002DCs, with tweeters about 35" off the concrete f... | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? 2 Shure V15 RS1 AT14Sa1 Stanton 500 MKII for 78s2 LOMC1 HOMC | |
| Obscure brands worth considering Canton speakers. GermanPrimare integrateds, separates, CD player. Swedish | |
| what speakers to buy +1 for the Cantons. Best move I ever made. | |
| After a (weeks) worth of listening... Last week it was Alison Krauss, Windy City. I love the purity and pathos of her voice.This week it's Sharon Van Etten, Epic. Especially Save Yourself. Eerily beautiful overdubbing herself. | |
| What's the weak link in my system? I’m an audiophoole on a tight budget. After experimenting with speaker placement and carpet/furniture alternatives, here’s how I’d approach it; just my 2 cents.I’d focus on vinyl first. A phono pre upgrade would not have to be very expensive. A Sc... | |
| Why are tweeters so high off of the ground in many tower speakers... Related issue. My soundstage is centered slightly below ear level, as is the midpoint between tweeter and mid. I'd like to raise it, so I tilted the speakers back slightly. That seems to make it even lower. Make sense?Is my brain back projecting t... | |
| Best Budget RCA cables Zu auctions cables on the Bay. I got a pair of 1 meter Wylde RCAs for $37 including shipping. $175 value (on sale from $370); but I had to go through the auction process several times before I won. I'm still breaking them in, so no comparative rev... | |
| Man this is frustrating I have a "28 phono cable very similar to the Signal Cable Silver Reference mentioned above. The DIN connector is touchy and probably needs to be replaced; but it sounded fantastic before that. I could part with that if it helps.Also, Zu Audio keep... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers Mobius, I hope you come out of Irma OK. There are problems and then there are PROBLEMS. God bless.Certain speaker brands are known for mating well with a wide range of amps and being easier to drive. Canton, Pro-Ac, and Vandersteen are among them,... | |
| Best Bang For The Buck I've Ever Spent It was either the Shure V15 RS I bought new from Radio Shack in 1985, I think for less than a replacement stylus for the V15 III I was using; or an Oppo DV-980h I bought in 2015 for $85 shipping included just to see if I'd like SACDs. Turns out I ... | |
| Problem with Primare I32 Amp Any update snackeyp or bayguy? | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! If the OP is talking about 70's and 80's vinyl, I use a different cartridge (or stylus if I'm in a MM mood) for my older stuff that is of less than desirable quality. It is preferable to me because I'm very happy with my preamp on good quality rec... |
