Is this sign of getting old? @sleepwalker65 I saw them on June 28 in Tacoma. I had great seats on the floor also. One of my favorite shows ever! | |
Is this sign of getting old? If you have to ask, you probably are! My experience has been a little bit opposite, when I was younger I mainly listened to Hard Rock, but as I've gotten older there are a lot of bands that I used to thunk were too "mellow" that I now enjoy more t... | |
Does my setup need a phono stage? Andrew,A good preamp or linestage is going to have a less negative impact on sound quality than a home theater receiver or processor. There are a lot of electronics packed into your Marantz and it can’t help but degrade some of the signal being fe... | |
Upgrading sub to get a live feel. I missed seeing how big your room is. That's going to make a big difference in how you approach things.I have a single SVS SB-12 NSD in my small computer room and it provides more than enough bass in that small space and integrates really well wi... | |
Kiseki and Lyra Cartridge Dealers in Japan and Taiwan Seller kron here on Audiogon has Kiseki Blue carts at a significant discount. You might ask if he can get the purple. | |

Does my setup need a phono stage? Your Marantz is designed for home theater, and while including a phono stage is a nice feature, it's probably an afterthought and not very high quality. I owned an AV8801 and currently have an AV7704 and must admit that I've never even bothered t... | |

Whats on your turntable tonight? Slaw, this one is used but sounds like new. I haven't looked up the pressing on Discogs yet. | |
Whats on your turntable tonight? Haven't had much time to spin records lately. Picked up a few new to me ones today at my favorite record store. Listening to Steve Earle - Guitar Town right now | |
Ended my Qobuz subscription For critical listening I prefer Qobuz. I like the fact that I can listen to hi-res files and don't need any proprietary equipment (hello MQA) to do so. Tidal does have a bigger library and the MQA files do sound good, even with a non MQA DAC (I ... | |
Music Direct - Audio Hardware Seller? So you're upset that they went out of their way to make sure someone wasn't trying to commit fraud or steal your financial information?I've bought a number of things from them, mostly discounted interconnects and some vinyl. All positive experien... | |
How many turntable’s have you owned? A couple from the 80's that I don't remember. I quit playing vinyl for a long time...Picked up a Marantz 6100 turntable for about $25 that sat in my garage for years...One day I decided to clean it up and try it out. After replacing the belt (wh... |
