| Preamp recommendation; ≤ $5k Wow, thanks for all your responses! Following along, this has been a serious education. As far as the sound profile I’m looking for, since I’m new to tubes, I want to see what differentiates tubes from solid state. What they have to offer, I suppo... | |
| Another amateur in need of advice Taking it all in, thanks all! @helomech Thanks for leading me onto the Tannoys! Never heard of them prior, and they seem to be pretty stellar! I'm leaning toward the Tannoy XT8. The room where this system would be placed is unfortunately somewhat ... | |
| Another amateur in need of advice Wow - I’m stunned by all your responses. Thanks for taking the time! I’m going to start pecking at this knot as I can, seeing which direction to take as things reveal themselves. I live in NYC (Queens, 20 minute subway from manhattan), and I just ... | |

| Another amateur in need of advice Dang, thanks all. Starting to sound like freedom from choice is what I may need. In a tizzy - i guess stepping out into reality and hearing some of these setups is the next step. Any thoughts on the two NAD amps I mentioned? Are they really that f... | |
| Another amateur in need of advice marktomaras, inna, twoleftears, thanks for your replies! Super informative and provided lots of new stuff to explore. Can't say I can spring for a set of vandersteens just yet, though. Since I'm going to be using this system mostly for vinyl playb... |
