| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I need some enlightenment What is in a tt cart that would warrant a 12K-25K price tag? I have heard the reasoning of r&d but wondering how much of that a cartridge that is about an inch long and half inch wide can substantiate. | |
| Moving from integrated to separates If you can find yourself an Audio Research ref 75 se coupled with one of their pre's, I think you may be quite pleased. ARC seems to have the ability to combine the sweetness of tubes with the power of SS by the use of Jfets within their circuits... | |
| hearing loss and amp choices So I went ahead and popped for the Audio Research Vsi 75. I have to get a separate phono stage but that's ok. Brand new at Audio Connection for $7500. If anyone has one of these, any problem with top clearance for heat issues? I'm hoping it to... | |
| hearing loss and amp choices @mahgister Well sir I am intrigued by your acoustic experiments. I understand you have a Sansui as your amp. I know some of these models are still sought after as nonpareil in SQ to this day. I am very limited to acoustic nuance trials as I ha... | |
| hearing loss and amp choices @asvjerry You could be correct on that account Jerry. | |
| hearing loss and amp choices @hotei and ghdprentice: Always wanted tubes thru these ProAcs. Had the Manley Stingray once but that piece was more ss sounding. Had a friend who lent me his Quick Silver triode mono amps. I think they just made 100 of those. Those were sublime ... | |
| hearing loss and amp choices @bigtwin I dunno. My amp tanked months before that. You do raise a point. I thought the highly articulated amp sterile even then and I’m sure my hearing didn’t go south just now. The only reason I had the hearing test in the first place is to h... | |
| hearing loss and amp choices @ secretguy...Lol and wonder how many other "secrets" you may have missed. | |
| hearing loss and amp choices First of all I am NOT changing out my system. My integrated suffered a catastrophic failure. I posed the question to help flavor my next purchase of an amp. I am not at the stage for aids as yet or so told to me or I should say unless i am immers... | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions @lordrootman thanks for the info on the guitarist root | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions @lordrootman If Sim makes an integrated anywhere near the production of the immediacy of the separates, the op should have a strong look. | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions @lordrootman 2 questions if you please: 1.Who is the guitarist. 2. What are the Sims? This type of playback (video/sound stuff) is sometimes difficult to depict nuances of components but one has to be near deaf not to recognize the superlative m... | |
| For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces? ghdprentice is giving you the right info. I used to sell Arc stuff and the best symbiotic relationships were Arc connected to Arc. Either the Ref 75 or 150 will do you quite nicely. | |
| Concerning high end audio names in new cars Here's how I look at it: whatever alleged up class name is placed in a car, it's better than what sound acquisition used to be from auto manufacturers. My wife's 2022 Mazda CX 5 has a Bose system in it and it is quite spatial. Sounds way better t... | |
