| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. Do yourself a favor and stretch a bit and get the $1600 Technics with a mofi preamp and let the dealer install a good $500 cartridge. The technics is trouble free and will probably last forever. Also- you will have dealer support, which you absolu... | |
| Morrow Audio 1m MA4 Balanced Interconnect I had some Morrow speaker cables and found the break in process intolerable. I sent them back for the break in service and they were vastly improved. Whenever someone mentions Morrow, I always recommend buying the break in service. At least that w... | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions @wlutke - would you mind posting an update on the AM? Possibly looking into buying. Thanks. | |
| Hi-end audio is a big zero There used to be more amazing dealers who did single-speaker private demos and would even let you take something home to demo, depending on circumstances of course. There are still some around. But the audiophiles’ ability to shop on the internet ... | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? @bdp24 - I think it’s another case of my not writing clearly enough in my OP. Obviously, there were many artists that broke away from bands and made it big. Hendrix was a backup guitarist for the Isley Bros as I recall. What I was thinking of were... | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? Yeah. MJ did good. I was wrong. Close the thread. | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? @russ69 - good one on Phil Collins. And fast too. Although, strictly speaking, all the others I mentioned were the “stars” of their bands, while Phil was just a sideman with Gabriel and Genesis. | |
| Cen. Grand DSDAC 1.0 (vs Pontus II) There is a lot of stuff on the web about this brand. It looks like like nice stuff, but personally, I like to stick to products with more of a track record. I doubt anyone here has any real experience with it because I’ve never heard it mentioned. | |
| Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m It’s worth it if you are going to beat yourself up wondering whether you should have bought the 2 meter cord. As long as you’re buying expensive cables without audition, you might as well go all in for the extra grand. | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing If Pass is sounding bright, you may want to consider selling the Wilsons. I am a big Harbeth fan as you are, and I’m not sure Wilson and Harbeth lovers can get along. I have heard them sound good with Lamm, but that’s a lot of money to throw at a ... | |
| A double bass is the best instrument to pair with vocals Musica Nuda nicely pairs double bass with a female vocal. | |
| How crucial is the quality of a digital cable? You say you recently purchased the amp. The amp and dac card may both need more break in time. I agree a digital cable may improve the sound, but I don’t think it will turn a dac you don’t like into one you do. | |
| rega elex r burn in? I give every new component a month before making any decisions. This gives both the component and my ears time to break in. You both need more time, IMO. It can be frustrating I know. | |
| Audiolab 6000CDT It isn’t a cd player. It is a transport only. Just FYI. | |
| Careful if buying Purist Audio Neptune fluid cables. I really like purist cables, but with the amazing amount of cables produced in Europe, why not buy something made closer to home with a return policy? And there the issue of shipping back to the US if something breaks or something. Not worth it, ... |
