@djones51Yep. The Revel Salon 2 supposedly beats out every speaker time amd time again in blind tests at John Scheurmann's The Screening Room in Colorado.

As the 3 day holiday weekend here in the US closes out (beautiful weather here in the northeast), I’m spending some time setting up an excel spreadsheet on the various recommendations and where I can hear them. So far I’ve tallied 29 different spe...

@cleeds Ok I'm learning. :) Their own website refers to them as electrostatics but a diff magnet technology. Regardless, they are often compared and contrasted to ML and Soundlab.  So have you listened to compare?

Has anyone compared Magnepan to Martin Logan? Both electrostatic dipole panels but ML took the hybrid approach and uses a traditional box subwoofer for the bass.  On Magnepans website they take an indirect shot at ML basically saying they could ha...

@sunkenpirate.  I heard the Martin Logans are harder to drive so don't work well with Tubes for example and they also sell them at Bestbuy which gives me pause- maybe it shouldn't but it does.

Wow what a deluge of recommendations overnight! So overwhelmed. I’d love to hear all of them in my house in a blind listening session but thats obviously impossible!I will include panels - a dealer I’ve purchased from in the past wants me to buy M...

@psag Definitely would have to audition those speakers, some so-so reviews online. I guess it depends how you define imaging. Your definition must be different than mine which is ok. All good.

@mribob Thx. List is 25,500, a littl3 over where i want to be. @bubba12 I had a long demo on Exotica3.  They look nice, well constructed, just didn't have any connection. I'd really like to hear the SS9.5s but there are no owners near me and I liv...

@cd318 Seriously, c’mon dude....I'm just getting into TT’s and 2 channel stereo (yes, a newbie) and I make the mistake of reading all over the internet by so called experts (none of whom I suspect are engineers) about replacement mats and other tw...

I have an appt in two weeks to listen to the Spendor D9.2 at Sound by Singer in Manhattan.  They are still closed for demos.

Spendor and Gershman.  Got it.   
Buying a new TT today
@cd318 and the @chakster Sorry no idea what you are talking about. Because I asked about upgrading a stock cable that means I’m trying to change everything on this incredible machine? Guess what? You can’t tweak the hell out of a Rega and that’s w...

@noromanceYes from Brooklyn. The Gibbon X is on my list actually. Thanks 
Buying a new TT today
TT is on a flat stone slab.  Perfectly level with meter. Thanks for the tips and I will certainly look into it. I was trying not to do all these audiophile type improvements like cables. Are you using the stock cable for the power supply?  I alway...
