| Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5 Small room 10x12. Do your self a favor and get the Vandy 1ci's. I prefer them over the 2's and personally think they'll do better in your small room. -Joe | |
| Ok, what just happened? My turntable journey...thus far. @artemus_5 I never realized that until now. I have one of those Pangea Vulcan racks from Audio Advisor. | |

| Ok, what just happened? My turntable journey...thus far. Thanks for the replies everyone. I didn’t realize this topic was so thoroghly covered in the Spirings Under Turntable thread.

| Looking for a tube preamp with remote control. Perhaps checkout the Quicksilver Remote linestage. I've heard the non-remote linestage and thought it was excellent. I'd like to add one to my arsenal at some point. | |
| MM Cartridge Recommendation I have experience with running the both the Ortofon 2M Black and the AT VM760SLC the Aria integrated phono stage. The Ortofon will defintely be the warmer of the two. I found the AT to be a tad too bright for my tastes at times. I have since upgra... | |
| Calling out spatial audio m3 sapphire owners! OP,jjss49's eloquent post made me rethink the tone of mine. I know that I'm in the minority with this brand. There are a lot of folks that enjoy them as evidenced by the enthusiastic support it has on Audio Circle. Just not for me. Best,Joe | |
| Calling out spatial audio m3 sapphire owners! Curiosity is a helluva thing. I get it.... Just their name alone....S..P..A..T..I..A..L... You’re thinking they must have a sound stage as wide as the grand canyon.I made the mistake with both of the brands you mentioned. I purchased the M5 Sapphi... | |

| Parasound Preamp After purchasing the P6/A21+ combo, mainly based on features, looks, and the advice of someone I used to trust; I will most likely never purchase another piece of Parasound gear again. The P6 pre in particular is boring, flat, and lackluster sound... | |
| Daily Record cleaning I use an Okki Nokki with L'Art Du Son record cleaning solution (diluted per instructions). Then a couple of rinses and vacs with distilled water. Let them dry. One application of GruvGlide will remove any static electricity. Store them in Mofi sle... | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? Quick update: This thread generated a lot of interesting discussion for me. Some felt that upgrading the phono pre in my system was a greater priority and others felt the cartridge was. My take away was that SQ could be vastly improved by upgradin... | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? It's a little comforting to me that there are disagreements on this topic from those that know far more than I do! | |
| How much difference does a phono preamp really make? @artemus_5 I didn't say that the cart is the most important component. What I will say is the 1210GR is the most expensive TT I feel comfortable buying. Now it becomes a matter of optimizing and getting the best possible sound quality with what I... | |
