| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @rockadannyShe’s put up with my music system in the LR for 45 yrs now so I guess I can keep things as they are. But it would be nice to give her a room for "pretty" So this is far from a new experience for her or me. I have Silverline Sonatas now ... | |
| Subwoofer help needed I’ve had Rel for years. They do much more than just augment bass. They make the main speakers image much larger than they do without the sub. This is why I chose 2 Sumiko S-10 which is a Rel clone of the S-5. Sumiko was the distributor of Rel for ... | |
| StylusTimer @tablejockey The shipping on one of those was $12. With tax, shipping etc, $16.08. Not much less than the OP's link | |
| StylusTimer On an Index card I make a Roman numeral mark for every album side. 20 minutes per sid. Total divided by 3 is the hours. Not exact. But its closer than the hrs shown on my lawn tractor. I forgot to turn off ignition and it now shows 60-70 more hrs ... | |
| I need to upgrade my amp but it sounds really good. (Wife in corner shaking her head) @millercarbonI looked at the Raven Blackheart & Osprey. Looks enticing. Used are hard to find. Then too, they have a return policy. It could be in my price range If it was better than the CT-5 plus whatever amp. I know people are drifting towa... | |
| I need to upgrade my amp but it sounds really good. (Wife in corner shaking her head) @tomic601 I have considered the RM-10 and the CJ Classic 60se. AAMOF, I think I've looked at every tubed amp that is 60-75wpc. Carver 275, various Cary's, I've also considered a custom ST-120 (Big bro of ST-70. Don Sachs has put one together wit... | |
| I need to upgrade my amp but it sounds really good. (Wife in corner shaking her head) @millercarbonNice system I have thought about the PPP tweaks. I do need to work on power too. I agree with your philosophy that everything counts, No better than the weakest link IMO. I do need the digital side though because not everything was pu... | |
| Move to the next level @bruce19 No, I have not heard the exasound. I live in flyover country where hifi sales don't really exist. I do a lot of reading and have put a pretty good system together without hearing it first. This is what the internet has brought us w/ onlin... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. @rauliraugas Again, This is the reason I suggested that he would need the Pet Riggle VTAF so as to have that adjustment. | |
| Wow! Hard to believe how Good this sounds! It's been a few months now and yet I am still amazed at how good the system sounds. The biggest surprise is the amp...a Bob Latino ST-70. I figured that when I put the new (to me) CJ CT-5 pre amp in the mix, the amp would show to be the weak link.... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. @uberwaltzI think you need to see the context as to why Jeff posted what he did. Maybe he got tired of the dogmatic opinions of those who make like they have all the knowledge on this board. I know I get tired of it. There are good belt drives &am... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. @rauliruegas Yes, I did congratulate him. He made his decision and laid down his $$$. It wasn't the choice I would have made. So what? I didn't get all butt hurt over it. You shouldn't either. As for the arm lacking VTA adjustment, I told him that... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. @jeffvegas, Congratulations. I'm sure it is a good table. I don't know about the BelCanto phono preamp cause I've not heard it. But I've never heard anyone speak of it either. Whatever the case, a good phono stage is a necessity in order to get t... | |
| Move to the next level Are you looking for "chip" DACS or R2R DACS? Or does it matter? I have little experience in streaming and find myself in the same position as you, so I will follow along for education. I can say that ExaSound has become an interest. Good reviews ... | |
| Where is dougdeacon? I spoke with Doug via email 1-1/2-2 yrs ago about my Teres table. He had just moved into a new house and didn't have his system set up. It didn't seem like he was in a hurry to get it set up either. I recently looked over at Whats Best and didn't ... |
