| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience UPDATEI made my decision, drank the BBC Kool aid, and purchased the Harbeth 40.2 Annie’s, all in with the TonTrager stands. At the proverbial end of the day, for me, I just really felt such an emotional soothing connection when demo’img it with my... | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought @rockriderYou are right. My post in my linked thread failed to post (phone issue). I fell madly in love with the Harbeth 40.2 Anniversary. Just connected with me, not visually lol, but emotionally more than any of the other floorstanders. | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought I just went through this EXACT SAME exercise the last 2 months as the quarantine lifted in and around the NYC Tri state area. I compiled almost 60 speaker recommendations from posters on this forum each one passionately backing their choice as the... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! That's awesome. I strongly considered Tannoy in my search as well. Love the mystique | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Just get a Rega where everything is chosen for you to optimize performance. They take all the guess work out and eliminate making costly mistakes by limiting the constant mix and match, and allowing you to focus on the rest of your system. | |

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @mdalton Ty but I just can't take on anymore lol. Almost 60 different speaker recommendations all claiming to meet the stated objectives. Im shocked there hasn't been much consolidation in the industry. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @helomechFunny you should ask. Actually yesterday I visited Dave, the Audio Doctor in Jersey city at his crazy modern museum of audiophile systems. He had been shut down since March and just recently reopened. I listened to the top of the line Gol... | |
| Vienna Acoustics 'The Music' I really wanted to hear these speakers. I live just outside NYC and there are some major highend audiophile dealers especially in Manhattan that can carry any brand. Also in Brooklyn, Long Island, parts of New Jersey and CT, but none of them carr... | |
| Are MULLARD NOS EL34s and LTA ZOTL40 REF worth the price of admission? I just bought the LTA z40 integrated with the NOS Mullard EF2 tubes. Will let you know my impressions shortly. | |
| Very best sounding Vinyl So I dropped in today on Generation Records on Thompson Street, West Village NYC. I used to pass by that place all the time but not this time. Only had an hour but could have spent 3-4 hrs going through their two huge floors of vintage used record... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @jhills. Thanks I hope one day to acquire a top of the line pair of Maggies or Quads for my man cave. Right now there are way too many variables to make it happen in our main living room, but I appreciate your candor. I did get to hear the 1.7s ea... | |
| Very best sounding Vinyl @millercarbonCan’t see how there are doubters. I have zero hidden agenda other than trying to build a vinyl collection about 35-40 years too late. Lol. And its capitalism supply vs. demand at its most exaggerated level. Now Im sure there are duds ... | |
| Very best sounding Vinyl @tablejockey Yup. Kinda like baseball cards at a garage sale (years ago). | |
| Very best sounding Vinyl So in my role as the OP, I took the Better Reords plunge and tried out A Night at the Opera, Super Hot Stamper A++ both sides. Original 1975 pressing. $150. All I can say is Wow! Dynamic, raw, clean. Freddie came alive in my living room. Loud. I c... |
