| Need help with phono cartridge selection I was bewildered why my MP-200 was sounding so thin and shrill, but as an experiment I put the 200 needle on my mp-150 cartridge and immediately the bass and dynamics were back. Not sure what's going on there, but my suspicion is that I bought the... | |
| Need help with phono cartridge selection Anyone heard a Garrott Brothers p77i from Australia? They get Chakster's endorsement for the the best New cart value which has me intrigued. | |
| Need help with phono cartridge selection I had a Nag 150 for years which I loved and with all the hype about the 200 I finally pulled the trigger since it was supposed to give me more of what I loved about the 150. However while the 200 was more detailed, it was too thin and lacked bass ... | |
| Vinyl rips - still worth it? I like the idea of doing vinyl rips. I love my vinyl front end and also being able to play a vinyl master (usually more dynamic range than CD/streaming due to the digital loudness war) anytime, anywhere has benefit to me. | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome +1 for Schiit gear. I have a Mani, Mani 2 and getting a Skoll for Christmas. My understanding is that there is a lot less noise on the Skoll compared to the Mani. The music comes from a blacker background. I'll try to post some impressions once I ... | |
| surface noise reduction Check out the new Schiit Skoll phono pre amp. Someone did a comparison of the Mani 2 vs the Skoll and posted some vinyl rips over on the schiit section of head-fi.org and the skoll had significantly lower surface noise. | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? Check out the upcoming Nakamichi Dragon sound bar system with 2 subs and wireless surrounds. It is supposed to bridge the gap between sound bar and a separates system. Looks pretty cool! | |
| Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12 2 thumbs way up for the Rythmik servo subs! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Anyone have a chance to hear the Tekton Nebo yet? Looks like a cross between the Moab and the DI. Very intriguing. The review that I could find called it a "super charged" DI, but the DI was already the most dynamic speaker I've ever heard! You t... | |
| MoFi controversy If I wanted DSD, I would have bought the SACD for $100 less. | |
| Are modern receivers any better than older ones? Depends on the specific models you are comparing I think. I would only get a new receiver if i was into home theater and needed dolby atmos, otherwise your money is better spent on music geared seperates for pure SQ. | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive Hi Eric, what is the status of IRL? Looking forward to more info about it. Thx | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Anyone notice on the Tekton website that they changed the frequency response from starting at 20Hz to starting at only 30 Hz? I wonder if Eric changed something on the speaker recently or if he's only adjusted the specs on paper...weird. | |
| Speakers known for great midrange. I thought Vandersteen midrange was the best until I heard Tektons. Tekton are the best I've heard. Get the Moabs for 5k. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Congrats! You made a wise choice. Let us know your impressions once you get 'em in. |
