| Thoughts/Advice on replacing a 20 year old system Rogue sphinx v3, wharfedale lintons, ortofon quintet blue, pro-ject classic evo, and a musical fidelity v90 dac....stellar sound at a reasonable price for an entire system. Throw in your choice of streamer and be done.Extras....a vintage tuner and... | |
| Advice for a choice I have a brand new Marantz pm8006 in the sealed unopened box for $949, saving you $250. Look at my items for sale. Bought as back up to my pm14s1....but need to sell it. Both the nd8006 and pm8006 are EISA award winners. You can't go wrong with M... | |
| Yet another turntable recommendation question I love my vintage lenco l90 belt drive with pitch/speed contol, cool amber strobe, auto stop/lift feature, and, you guessed it, a removable headshell. In fact I got 2. Right now running the discontinued shure m97xe cartridge with brush down and ma... | |
| What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear What he said....👍 | |
| Another marketing gimmick? http://https//www.jolida.com/product/glass-fx-10 I think the Jolida fx10 glass tube integrated is a work of art...while we are on the subject of glass. | |
| Should I still buy a CD player? Suggest one? Audiolab CDT6000 transport and a musical fidelity v90 dac do it for me. Terrifically detailed sound with a touch of warmth. This is on top of both my Marantz sa8005 sacd player and Marantz compact hdcd1 redbook player I own. I am experimenting....... | |
| Which Harbeth would work in my room? Will be listing my p3esr 's (cherry finish) here if anyone may be interested. I understand they may not be what the OP is looking for, but thought I'd give a heads up to their availability. They are new and never used, box opened to inspect and ad... | |
| Basic integrated amp for $700-$900 Marantz pm8006 can be had new on sale between 900 and 999, retail 1199. Its a great sounding amp with a neutral presentation. All analog and only avail in black in the US however. | |
| Separate Phono Pre - $$ before I will hear a SIGNIFICANT difference vs. integrated? I'm pleased with my musical fidelity lx lps. Bought for only 199 on sale from 500 bucks closeout....best 199 I ever spent. | |
| what is it in audio that you dislike most? The high and mighty snobs that berate those that can’t afford $10k Magico speakers...and then private message them to continue to make said person feel like a loser.... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I'll keep my $449 pair of wharfedale 225's, thanks...my god 10k for a pair of speakers, I'd have a pretty tough time convincing wife on these. .not that I'm foolish enough to spend 10k on anything audio wise. Imo a huge waste of money. | |
| My Triad of Integrateds The seldom mentioned (for reasons beyond me) Marantz products, particularly their reference line.Pm 14s1 or older pm 15s1....$3000, or for under $1500, not much can touch the rogue sphinx v2 in my opinion. For $1200 you should listen to the Marant... | |
| Music Direct - Audio Hardware Seller? Only good things to say here...I've bought all kinds of things from them, including records and equipment and always find them to be pleasant and very helpful. You can't beat their occasional 36 month 0 % financing program through synchrony bank. ... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? My aiwa ad f770 cassette deck, since 1983 to present. It still works as good as day one, with a new set of belts. Second I guess would be 2 of the many tuners I own. The marantz st6000 and the cambridge t500. | |
