| High end cartridge Hana yes all day long! SL and Umami are just amazing. But..... I have to say I really love the AT-ART9xa, definitely worth looking at. | |
| Unexpected issues with Rega planar TT, a respectful manufacturer product? Sounds like it must be out of warranty. The cables should be an easy fix. But I agree even if it’s out of warranty your dealer should help you if it’s motor related | |
| SPL Audio @high-amp I owned the treo of the DirectorMk2/Performer/Phonos. I love the small form factor, outstanding build and stellar sound. The internal DAC was good but the RME-ADI-FS is phenomenal. Great Gear IMO. | |
| Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4 @mike_f Personally I think the Sapphires need a little more wattage but I do think that may be based on room size and listening levels. I also agree with @snapsc that the sound is so very lifelike. I think the presentation between these two speake... | |
| Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4 @mike_f I have the M3 Sapphires and found that although they are efficient they do like more power. I too was concerned about pushing those 15" Woofers. I wound up with a 50 Watt Octave V70 Class A. I personally love what these speakers do. I do h... | |
| Upgrade Reccomendations Any of the Spatial Speakers would be a stunning match for your gear! M3 Sapphires are the best speakers I have owned. | |
| Dynaudio Focus 140 upgrade / Tube amp questions. @benj273 I think you can’t go wrong with either the Contours or the C1’s. Great speakers and any of the Octaves will make them sing. | |
| Dynaudio Focus 140 upgrade / Tube amp questions. @benj273 I have heard a number of Dyna’s paired with any of the Octave amps and they are stunning. My local dealer has the Confidence as well as the Contour and the Octave amps are so so good. I own the Octave V70 Class A with the Spatial M3 Sapph... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers I owned the SPL Director, Performer and Phonos and absolutely loved the sound. I would have kept all three especially the Phonos which is a stunning phono preamp. The construction is rock solid and loved the small form factor, plenty of power as w... | |
| Best E88CC for a brutal subbass experience? @barrista0611 Sorry weird when I go to attach a picture I can see it but no one else can. They are HP 6DJ8-G73Z Green Tops. Andy definitely knows his tubes. I also got some great tubes from Mark at the tubemuseum. Good Luck! | |
| Best E88CC for a brutal subbass experience? @barrista0611 Andy sold me these HP’s that are just stunning in the low frequencies. I would recommend calling him though because he doesn’t really do email. | |
| Herron Audio VTPH-2A - Modwright PH 9.0X - Icon audio ps1 mkii @thiefoflight Is the 3.14amp fuse the correct one for the 9.0x? I’m assuming that the power supply being rated at 3amp, that would be the right one. Just making sure. | |
| Soundstage depth how to improve? Shootout @klappertjedundas My entire soundstage developed with the addition of acoustic room treatments. Absorption and Diffusion worked for me | |
| Suggestions for sturdy sub $2,000 audio rack Beat me to it. I have a timbernation rack that holds my 100lb Acoustic Signature. Chris is amazing and his work is impeccable! https://www.timbernation.com/ | |
| Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders? @arafiq I was in the market for an integrated a year ago and started looking at the forums. I agree there is so much chatter about the Ravens and PL's I almost took the bait. I wasn't totally convinced about PL's and almost got the Raven Osprey b... |
