| best phono stage under 10k I’m happy with my musical surroundings phenomena 11+ at only 800 bucks, oh but I also have the linear power supply to go with it, so another 700 bucks. So for 1500 I’m happy. Tons of adjustability and it’s Herb’s reference phono stage. I like and ... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I own the Marantz sa8005 sacd player, Marantz hdcd-1 compact cd player, and the Audiolab cdt6000 transport. All are great machines in my opinion. The audiolab paired with the vdac 90 by musical fidelity sound great. | |
| Vinyl woes / cartridge upgrade You can still get the shure m97xe but you will pay dearly on ebay. I have one brand new sealed in the box but again you will pay...lol. I'm currently using the shure on my vintage Lenco l90, the one in my profile pic. It's a terrific cartridge and... | |

| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think I’ll let you know what my the smaller advents sound like when I get them. Ebay score with 9.5 inch acoustic suspension woofer designed by the great Henry kloss....I hear they were renown for some marvelous bass. Stereophile did a throw back to the... | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think I’m just stating what they found when reviewing the speaker (the 225’s) and in my own listening room I have to agree that Peter comeau (the designer) did a hell of a job with the budget he had to work with to design a speaker that can satisfy most... | |

| Frustrated with Vinly Use a zero stat gun before playing and spot dry clean/remove dust with audioquest’s new brush....should make a difference. I swear by vinyl revival products from the uk, great cleaning results from a manual form of record cleaning, but it is price... | |
| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think For sh#ts and giggles I just grabbed a pair of vintage recoaned the smaller advents with the fried green egg tweeters and the spit ball woofer, they are 4 ohms and I will drive them with my rogue sphinx, should be a blast!

| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think Read the stereophile review of diamond 225's...6.5 inch woofer, wave guide soft dome tweeter, and an unusual port on bottom of cabinet...one reviewer was astounded to see usable bass frequency output down to about 31.5 hz! Now that's nuts. Sure it... | |

| Opinions what are the best floor standing speakers in these ranges $$?? Wharfedale diamond 230's if you can still find a pair, discontinued recently. Top ratings in both whathifi and hifi choice. Warm tonal character, great detail & dynamics, and very good imaging. If I could find them I'd buy them just to have, a... | |
| Low Cost DACs Musical fidelity v90 dac, $299, and worth every penny. Beats out dacs costing way more. Very well reviewed in stereophile and they gave it a borderline class A component rating. To be honest, all the small box components from musical fidelity are ... | |
