| Next step in Turntable (1) Others have already made this point but surely it has to be Direct Drive. In the Technics lineup they have a good range. They are blindingly easy to use.(2) In terms of phono stage, again no specific model but please look up 'LCR Network'. ... | |
| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com Why would you buy any Chinese dealer stuff?? Try and buy a better DAC than from Matrix Audio (based in Xi'an). Best ESS DAC chip, other parts are top-of-the-line, build quality is perfect, good looking design, all the bells and whistles inclu... | |
| Speaker Cables to Power Amp - Left to Right/Right to Left; Does it matter? In orchestral music the cellos are always on the right (from the view of the conductor and audience). It would totally mess with me to swap the channels. | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so The Perreaux eloquence 250i is an heirloom product. Your grandchildren will be able to use it. It is a kind of perfection. It looks fabulous, it has exactly the kind of sound you would expect from a high bias ( +- 13 watts) AB Mosfet design. ... | |
| Best upgrade for cd player? I have an Oppo 205. A modest improvement can be had by (1) putting it on sorbothane feet, and (2) opening it up and putting dynamat on bare metal, and especially on the transport. There are a lot of aftermarket power supplies. They seem easy to... | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? Given that you can have your own platter machined you should do the following: It should have a hollow space underneath. Think Technics SL1200 platter. It has a flat top (of course), and then at the edges it has a lip (with all those dots). Un... | |
| Back to vinyl need phono stage help! At this price level you will want to stick to Solid State. There are quite a few good options. However you can LCR network type. Check out the Valab LCR-1. You will not be disappointed. | |
| What’s the benefit of placing speakers like this? (diagonally at the corner) It goes against the grain - yet: I have actually heard this once. It seemed absolutely fine. There is tons of great advice on speaker placement - I think all of it is well meaning and useful. My humble two cents* just keep fiddling and experim... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? My analogue experience is only with vinyl. My digital experience is with CD, SACD, digital downloads of PCM (CD resolution and Hi-rez), and DSD. If I may be permitted a small boast I have a high-end turntable, cart and phono stage. Prior to tha... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music Hello from NZ. My main listening is classical - Earliest is Buxtehude and latest is Pärt. Piano to Orchestral. My current speakers are Magico. They are nice and do classical just fine. I do not particularly recommend them but to get what you ... | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) Nobody will recommend it, there is an unspoken rule to never mention the standout solution, even when - "smooth silky midrange and top end, sweet and detailed delivery of delicate sounds, like vocals and piano, After that, I want a big, authorit... | |
| RIP - Aretha Franklin The last Dodo died, then Di Died, then Dodi Died. Dido must be crapping herself. | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps OP. There is a problem. I have a 150.8 and it 'only' took an hour to get best performance, from off. I leave it on standby and get best performance in minutes. An amp that takes five or six hours to sound best is defective. As for tubes: If y... | |
| IMHO (and friend's) opinion of acrylic platter It would seem to me that to compensate for the fact that the album is now 3mm higher, I would consider utilizing the multi-record lever on the back that would literally raise the tone arm. The way I would approach this to set your VTA de novo. ... | |
| One of the Best Stereo System in the World! My only caveat is his TT...with all those tone arms, it ends up looking like a device that is used for remote surgery.....Yes, it does seem a bit silly. I am more impressed with his listening room. That is an absolute tour de force. |
