| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Easy! Sugden A21se signature class A integrated @ $3250...there is NONE better at that price, sorry....I should know, as I buy and sell equipment like there is no tomorrow, and thus far, my Sugden is not going anywhere....it is a keeper. | |
| How much gear do you own? 3 integrated amps, 7 turntables, 3 cassette decks, 4 pairs of speakers ( that’s not counting my dedicated home theater 5.1 + atmos)...4 headphone amps, 4 phono preamps, 15 cartridges, 15 or more pair of headphones, 5 tuners, 3 dacs, 1 sacd player,... | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? I’m at the point that I have everything I could want....as far as equipment. Now, I concentrate on finding LP treasures, 45’s, cd’s, and pre recorded cassettes...not that I don’t already own enough....overall, I’d say I’m happy, as well as fortuna... | |
| Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs You could run them on as little as 2 watts from an SET tube amp...there are tons of choices to drive them. However, I would stay away from any bright sounding amps. | |
| Advice regarding streaming please. A streamer is a streamer....If it connects and stays connected, to me, that Is what is important. Yes, some may do ultra hi-res whatever....I bet the majority of those here could not tell the difference between cd quality & hi res in a blind t... | |
| Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money? I can care less what others spend, although on the other hand I do think that some of the things people fancy are way way too expensive for the very minor increase (if any) In sound quality. If someone thinks that gaining maybe 1 or 2 percent is w... | |
| Help with Cartridge choice Sideway move from the 2m bronze, it's a great cartridge...but if you must, the Hana is also a very nice cartridge...I'd go with the EL, jmo...as its price is in line with the bronze. It will sound "different" not necessarily better than the bronze. | |
| Two of the most powerful words ever People are very insecure....they need constant reassurance.... | |
| HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES Tannoy supplies jumpers for their higher tier speakers in the event you don't bi wire...last time I checked, Tannoy does not make speaker cables...so, I doubt it is necessary to use the exact same wire as used for the main run of speaker cable. If... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. Aside from China or USA made, wharfedale makes one Heluva speaker no matter the price point. I still Love my Diamond 225's....those Lintons have received rave reviews from everyone.... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA Why settle for a wimpy 2 to 6 watt SET tube amp, when you can buy a nice Sugden A21se signature solid state SINGLE ENDED CLASS A...@30 watts 8 ohm/40 watts 4 ohm. One word can describe how it sounds....sweeeeeeet...... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. They sound better because engineers back then had real talent. Today, it is a lost art, like everything else nowadays...pretty sad. Most, not all, recordings today sound like garbage. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition The Ear 834p is hard to beat at half that price....heck even my pro-ject tube box ds2 @ a grand is pretty sweet. If I was to spend that much, which I wouldn’t, it would be the Tavish Design Adagio @ $2200. | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers Never heard a musical subwoofer, must be something new...and not in my system, no way....home theater, yes..... | |
| How much gear do you own? I've lost track...must take inventory....too much to list.....could probably open my own store at this point. |
