| Small Floorstander? Although I have only heard the Preludes, either the Silverline Audio Prelude or the Prelude+ would be worth n audition. Thin and lite (under 35 lbs. each), they produce a surprising amount of bass, and have a wonderfully wide sound stage. | |
| Sweetvinyl Sugarcube - SC1 and SC2 I am one of the first 50 beta testers for the SC-2. You can find my thread for the SC-2 here on the forums. I love this thing. Why not audacity? Because I wanted a turn-key solution to listening and ripping vinyl that would not involve a separ... | |
| New home power protection? @facten - I was wondering about this. I had a whole house supressor installed when I upgraded to 200 amp service in 2005. It is a Square D box that precedes the panel. The indicator light is still green. Yet, I know that MOVs wear down over time b... | |
| NJ Audio Society? Long time, no bump. Please check us out at www.njaudiosociety.com | |
| Opinion on Thakker drive belts I have both Thakker replacement styli for my Ortofon OM-40 and drive belts for my Thorens TD-166 MkII. Quality and reliability seems excellent on both. Thakker is my go-to seller for turntable and cartridge supplies. | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? Yes, sort of.Sweetvinyl.comThese units will eliminate 95% of the ticks and pops on the fly. They do not currently eliminate surface noise, however, which will become more noticeable once the ticks and pops are gone. The company says it will even... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! OK - latest software update for the SC-2 was installed last night. Mostly cosmetic differences, but, the transient clicks between tracks, a persistent bug, has been resolved! This is pretty big. The only other major hurdle remaining in the SC-2... | |
| Classic Sub For A Reasonable Price SVS SB-2000? Not bad for the price for music. But if you can find a used Vandersteen 2Wq, that's my best recommendation. | |
| Ohm Walsh Demo Sorry. If you're ever in NJ, let me know. You can hear my 2000s. I will say that the current Ohm Walsh line sounds pretty consistent throughout the range. As you move up, you get a bit more bass extension, and maybe a smidge better dynamics. | |
| Any steel 14” to 16” speaker stands out there? Search for Sound Anchor stands. For not too much coin, they will custom make metal stands any way you want them. Pretty fast build and ship time, too. | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @mr_m - Thanks, that was helpful. Since my pre is tubed, our systems have a bit in common. I think I am going ahead with the amp. Hopefully, it will all work together. | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed Sorry I never posted the outcome here. I thought I had. Anyway, the issue was that my M5-HPs, which I bought used, were custom units with 10 rather than 8 dip switches (I should change my rating on the Audiogon seller, who never mentioned this t... | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? IME, the German Physiks Borderland Mk IV competes well with any 6 figure speakers I have heard. But, like all speakers, they are not for everyone (but they sure as heck are for me!). | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! @mjb87062017 - Sorry, I have been travelling for a few weeks. Also, as usual, after a few plane flights, I can't hear a blessed thing. When I finish unpacking and my hearing returns, I will check this out and report back. |
