| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates @twoleftears I would hope that an RP5 and Stereo 100 could best the CMII or why produce them? What would the value prop be if a separate $3,500 preamp cannot best a $2,200 integrated of the same brand?I have not heard the RP5 however, I have heard... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates @helomech @mesch Thanks for your replies. I am looking for separates with balanced connections which the CM does not have. My listed budget of $3K does not mean that I think this is what it will take to best the CM, it's really just my budget. Whe... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates @keithtexas thanks, I like my speakers (ZU Soul MK2) which are 99db efficient. | |
| Making the audiophile experience more available Thanks for the post, I too have a little one (2 1/2) so time for listening occurs after 8:30pm. I can achieve enough enjoyment out of low-level listening in my music room. I did however purchase a pair of Focal Elear headphones which I am running ... | |
| Pittsburgh, PA Audio Club Looks like we have some responses...as it would just be a few of us, I may look to have a listening session at my place in Sewickley. I’ll be back in touch. Thanks all. | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC: Anyone use as line stage preamp? Thanks everyone for the feedback... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 @inna what's a 'serious rig'? | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 I concur with what Liamowen posted. I purchased a Pass Labs XP-15 from Mark at Reno HIFI. Great experience. You can have an XP-15 for less than $3k and have a few hundred left over for vinyl. @rsf507 mentions a sterile sound. I’m using a Rogue Cro... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn DAC: Anyone use as line stage preamp? @czarivey thanks, what were you using previously for line stage and what are your impressions of the Brooklyn vs. your previous? | |
| Can't we all just get along? @tooblue the OP answered your question for me.to Crazyeddy, we definitely all have them. Hope things got straightened out and that you enjoy the Manley... | |
| Can't we all just get along? @tooblue @jl35 +1 to both of you. I understand the frustration of the OP and I concur to a degree, but you can’t then resort to what you are disputing... | |
| Can't we all just get along? @phillyb I believe this type of behavior preceded Trump. I believe the majority of ‘goners are passionate about our hobby or else why would they hang out in an audiophile forum? Where we differ is on opinion and qualifications. Some here are techn... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? If you do not mind sourcing, you can find some great deals. I bought my brand new Lyra Delos for $300 less than what I paid for my brand new Soundsmith Zephyr MKII. I've heard of but have never heard Nottingham and Shelter gear but I hope it's exa... | |
| Age old discussion I know but MM or MC? Benefits? @uberwaltz , I just replaced a Soundsmith Zephyr MKII High Output MI with a Lyra Delos (MC). The Delos is still breaking in, however, I cannot understate what an impact this has had already on my system. I would say, to my ears, I've almost double... | |
| Lyra Delos and Pass Labs Phono Pre Thanks and will do @karl_desch, very helpful. I haven't used an MC before so looking forward to listening to the differences with MI. |
