| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yes --it is just not that good. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I took the last 3 nights to get through the truly awful Kiss live in 2004 Virginia Beach 3 disc set. One disc a night was all I could handle. especially on the earlier songs it just sound like monotone wailing. Now I know why I mostly stay away... | |
| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable Oh and congrats on wanting to move away from Rega. It is like strava to the cycling world---- common. Go for the less common--- EAt or SOTA would fit the bill. And VPI somewhat. | |
| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable Project and EAT are partners in that the owners are married. If anything Jozefina makes her husbands turntables be a bit better. Really, maybe the gap is closing, but not long ago there was no comparison, with EAT feing the FAR superior line. I... | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? Weaver likes 6 figure everything, has a head twitch, and a martini issue. I try very hard to avoid his over the top bombastic pomposity. He uses the same 100 adjectives over and over...I tired of him after the first 10 episodes. Perhaps that is t... | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? 2 examples come to mind...a trapezoidal shaped Kenwood receiver with a space age LED pad remote that had a shape to match. Oh and also the Kenwood that came with the blue smooth membrane remote, Kenwood tried hard after the classic silver-face da... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I started with Kenwood, Realistic, Yamaha. Onkyo, and Marantz ....with cheap Bose or Advent speakers. Then I graduated to a Luxman 505 UxII and some Epos Elan speakers. The sound was not all that much superior. I then decluttered my room and tre... | |
| Are tubes psychological? I rarely listen with my Luxman SS any more. The Mctubes just sound nice. Whereas the Luxman somehow seems sterile. | |
| What'd You Get For Xmas? ketchup---you will enjoy that EAT pre! | |
| Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound Used to just have a node 2i outputting to a mc2500 and mc 75 monoblocks, Sonus Faber speakers, and Rhythmic subwoofers. Then decided to get a Small Green Machine transport for Roon core, a Sonore UltraRendu as a player and a Mytec Dac+... ...all ... | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? Most assuredly. I went from a Project Debut Carbon to an Eat C Sharp with Cadenza Blue and an Eat Petit Glo phono pre. Just get a different weight---Oyaide makes an excellent carbon piped one. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? When it doesnt need Synergistic Research and similar junk magic props. | |
| Poor Customer Service Really great service with Ortofon. And with manufacturers, if they don't get back to me right away to answer questions, generally their distributor has a go to contact at the factory and the answers are provided within several days. Really over th... | |
| PS Audio FR-30 Speaker... It will be at the Denver hifi show next month. | |
| replace Mcintosh with Luxman I did just the opposite. Went from Luxman solid state to McIntosh tubes. way more pleasing to my ears.I still keep the 505 UxII in the rack for the times when the 2500 pre may go down. |
