| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Given what they seem to sell for on Discogs, I'll probably toss it out there instead of the ocean if I don't like it. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Listening to the Queen playlist on Qobuz. I never get tired of Queen. | |
| Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge? I don't have any experience with the Rega but owned the Concept for a while. It's a really nice table, sounds great, and is easy to operate. The one drawback for me is that it is super sensitive to footfalls and I have springy floors. I could n... | |
| What's the better buy for a phono preamp? I'd get the Phonomena. I have a Phonomena Nova and it's a great unit. | |
| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Here an interesting review and comparison from Vinyl Rewind:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mhk2XgVPCIM I didn't watch the entire video, I skipped to the end to hear the conclusions. I loved the 2019 version. I haven't done any A/B comparisons... | |
| Tubes or not I have owned a number of DACs and the MHDT Orchid is my favorite. I think it sounds as good or better than my Auralic Vega, which was $3500 when new. I haven't A/B compared them both in the same system, but they are the two least "digital" sound... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Checking out some new music on Qobuz - Dave Holland - Good Stuff. It's living up to its name so far. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Carole King - Tapestry, MFSL | |
| Oppo 205 - Basically a PC with small Analog section The main thing that attracted me to the 9X and 10X models was their streaming and universal disc player capabilities. I don't consider the 203 I now have as an audio device really, I only bought it to be able to play 4K discs. I use bluesound and ... | |
| What are these speakers that came with my home worth? hifishark is also a good resource to see what like items are selling for (or have sold for - click the sold/expired tab). | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following I listen to rock primarily. Some of the other speakers I've owned did some things better than my Harbeth Super SHL5 Plus. My Legacy Audio Focus 20/20s and Klipsch KLF-30s conveyed more sense of scale and dynamics because they were larger speaker... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? If you like Steve Miller, even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to check out his Welcome to the Vault. I have been listening to it the last couple of days on Qobuz. It's CD quality but sounds excellent, especially the live cuts. Some of the... | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following For me Harbeth speakers walk that fine line between being overly detailed and being boring. They seem to capture every nuance of each instrument and vocals and do a great job of separating them without distortion or glare. They are also very dyn... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Santana - Abraxas | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? The comment about noise is a puzzler. "Noisy" in what way? I'm using a 460 watt per channel amp with 102 dB sensitive speakers and a tube preamp. If I stick my ear literally right next to the tweeter I can hear the faintest amount of hiss. |
