| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage I appreciate all the excellent answers but the guy is new to this. A suggestion for an easy solution would be the right way one might think. How about a MM cartridge and his phono stage is all good. Ortofon MC carts are a good answer as well. Not ... | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers I would read the Robert Harley book about high end audio first. Only one person inquired about your intention to put your speakers in corners and 30' apart. That is not a stereo setup. if that is what you have to do then I would just get some powe... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming @mojo771 Blusound is great but when I hooked it to my Holo Spring Dac it sounded much bigger and better. I like the Blusound by itself as well. I'm not completely convinced on spending huge money to upgrade a streamer. | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops I believe any music lover might be open to hearing about how their music might sound better. The problem begins and ends with the prices. The stores that seem to do well have made a huge investment to stock the ultra high end. Bottom line if I can... | |
| How Long Is Too Long? @nicktheknife @grislybutter I'm not trying to minimize the problem but how old is the piece? If it's past warranty he's doing you a favor by fixing it. I would be annoyed but I have learned that the little boutique shop just will not be able to of... | |
| Used PS Audio Items High end audio is the only business where the customer thinks the company should repair the item no matter how old. If you got multiple years out of something it's a done deal. | |
| How Long Is Too Long? I'm the only one who thinks a few hundred dollar piece of electronics is not an item to be repaired? Buy something better from a REAL company. If it's not brand new call it a bad buy and maybe he will send it back fixed someday. | |
| Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future? People value the original box more than it's worth from what I've seen. You take a BIG hit without it. | |
| AXPONA — PS Audio I liked them. I would need to hear them in a quiet room to make any grand statement about them. | |
| How to clean Karat 17D3 stylus? I love that cartridge. The only problem is that even with a magnifying glass I can’t see the condition of the stylus. I’m not sure I know what to look for anyway though. | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much I hate to say it but most of them want you to come in and listen to one song and walk out with $100k in product. All paid at retail price. I have never had my ultimate experience which would be being turned loose with the equipment that I want to ... | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k You need to up the price if you want to best the PrimaLuna. I own that amp. I’m super surprised when someone wants to sell. It’s the only thing I never think of changing out. | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @blisshifi I loved the Dynaudio and Octave/SimAudio room as well. Opinions? I don’t agree on the FR 30 comments. The massive size of those is amazing at 30k. Think of the actual size of speakers in this range of pricing. The build was not Estelon ... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report @rick2000 was correct about Clarysis Minuet. They are so good. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? I go to AXPONA every year and if you hear enough rooms you realize that some of these prices are not based on any cost formula. Made up out of thin air. I look at the Estelon speakers and they are a beautiful work of art and sound and I can see a ... |
