| The Best CD player under $1000. I'm not sure if it's the "best" under $1000 CD deck, but I think my Rotel RCD-1072 is an outstanding player. Very "analog" sounding, totally musical, and very true to the timbre of the instruments and the singers. | |
| analog newbie questions... No, you will not need a separate phono pre-amp. Any integrated amp which has a built-in phono stage will allow you to plug your turntable's wires directly into the amp. Move the amp's selector switch to "phono," turn on your turntable, drop your s... | |
| analog newbie questions... Here's some good advice.........Talk to the guys at Audio Advisor (I am NOT connected with them, but have been a satisfied customer in the past) and give them your budget and desires. They can "package" a really nice entry-level system for you for... | |
| Where are you buying new vinyl? "Beatnick Records" on Blvd. St. Denis in Montreal, and "Last Vestige Records" on Qual Street in Albany, NY are two great shops where you can spend hours browsing through the racks. | |
| Where are you buying new vinyl? Dustygroove.com has a fantastic selection of jazz, blues, funk, etc. I've been extremely happy with their $10-$12 collection of Blue Note, OJC, Contemporary, and Prestige re-issues. All new, sealed, and sounding mighty fine !! I've also done well ... | |
| Suggested entry path into vinyl... Dressprmex should be complimented for his thoughtful and honest response. Bravo !! My experiences are very similar. My love of music started during the days of Woodstock, and I bought a ton of LP's during the 1970's and early 1980's. No CD's back ... | |
| Rega TT PSU..... one or two buttons ? Okay................can somebody explain why the TT-PSU will make the P3-24 sound better ?? I don't want a theoretical answer, but rather a simple description of an audible improvement. My P3-24/Exact 2 sounds pretty incredible right now, through ... | |
| settings for Rega Exact II / Simaudio Moon LP3 ? With all due respect to Bmckenney, I totally disagree with his "BTW" remarks. I have the Rega Exact 2 cartridge (yes, there is a "2" version) on my P3-24 turntable, and the music sounds absolutely wonderful. There is a special synergy between Rega... | |
| Best intro to tube integrateds? Rogue Audio Cronus.....A beautiful sounding amp, and its phono stage mates particularly well with the Rega P3-24/Exact combination (see my system.) Happy Listening !! | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs For what it's worth, I am EXTREMELY happy with the way my Rogue Audio Cronus drives my Vandersteen 1C's. The synergy is absolutely perfect, sort of like the amp and spreakers were made for each other. The Cronus' built-in MM phono stage is a great... | |
| Tube Rolling.......my first experience.....WOW After another week of listening......I am truly impressed with the ways in which my upgraded set of small tubes, as described in my original thread above, has really "opened up the window of music." My audiophile brother-in-law (Naim, Rega, Totem ... | |
| Upgrade phono cartridge for Rega P3-24 I'm extremely happy with the way the music sounds through my P3-24/Exact 2 combination. Terrific synergy with the rest of my system, and a great match for my large collection of 1950's - 1960's jazz LP's. I also swapped put the Rega felt for the H... | |
| Tube Rolling.......my first experience.....WOW That's what's so great about buying Rogue gear.....it's an absolute pleasure to directly communicate and exchange ideas with the guys who actually develop and build the amps. | |
| Sunday morning music...what's spinning? Just finished listening to Dave Brubeck, Gerry Mulligan, and the boys..... | |
| Cayin A-50t vs. Rogue Audio Cronus Rogue Audio Cronus......wonderful amp, and phenomenal ability to directly communicate with the folks who designed and built the amp. Mark, Nick, and the guys are a phone call away. |
