| What's been your turntable ownership over the years? 2019 - TEAC TN400S (1st turntable as an adult. Almost gave up vinyl altogether after this experience)2021 - Technics SL1210GR. Glad I didn't give up as my analog rig has surpassed my digital in terms of SQ. | |
| 3way replacement for my 2way I’d also like to solve the issue of turning my two way into a three way....AHH thank you very much!!....Double entendres aside, it would be very easy to recommend Vandersteen 1ci’s or even the new 2’s. Especially if you’re looking for more warmth ... | |
| 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 Chakster. Beautiful photos of your systems. | |
| 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. I just got done reading the first page. Some interesting discussion for sure. Does anyone else have any experience with t... | |
| 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... | |
| Purchasing from LP Gear @kingharold"I really appreciate all the responses. Despite the fact that LP Gear’s website still states that they have the Audio Technica ART9 for sale when I finally got a return e-mail from them this afternoon it stated that they do not have it.... | |
| 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! |
