| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Mahgister, it’s not about a DAC or a turntable. The physical medium I am referring to are the groves of a record which generate vibrations or the orientation of iron particles (in a reel). Those are a medium where music exists physically. Digit... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? For my First watt, i use a benchmark LA4. I also have a boulder preamp matched up with a Pass Labs 258.8 | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Sometimes it’s ok to have things be what they are at an emotional level, not an empirical level. As others have said, sound is a physical medium. Hearing is a physical thing. So there is a natural metaphysical symmetry in thinking that a physi... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? When you talk about your understanding, I assume that is based on your understanding of the electronics involved. There is clearly sonic differences between different streamers (I have both blue sound and lumin). The question becomes the qualit... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? Regardless of the price point, it’s all about balance. Like anything else, it’s all about the weakest link. So strive to have all the links (relatively speaking) the same strength. Its also about minimal returns. For a mid-price system, A+ ca... | |
| Vienna acoustic morzart I own both pair of speakers. The Mozarts and Cremona M’s are really in 2 different leagues. The Mozart’s are a great speaker for their price and although they don’t have the bass (or bass slam) as the SFs , they should sound pretty good. Are ... | |
| High end stereo preamps? Worth it? I have a audio research ref 5 preamp on one system and a boulder 810 on another. I couldn’t see living without them. I’m using the LUMIN family of streamer/DACs. I recently purchased a benchmark lA4 to match up with a first watt SIT 3, and I... | |

| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. If you're going the TT route, keep in mind that having a clean record is just as important as anything else. And I do agree that having everything in balance matters. The real question is whether you want vinyl to be your "serious" source mater... | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 If you can find one, my 1st choice recommendation would be an Accuphase E-470 or E-370. But make sure its a US distributed unit. Second I'd suggest Hegel or Pass. Great gear. (I now have a Hegel Integrated, an Accuphase, and a Vitus (best of t... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers As impractical as it may sound, if you are road-tripping, take your amp with you. Synergy matters and generally a retailer is going to match up their speakers with electronics that work with those speakers. So unless your planning on buying the... | |

| Liquid Amps Try a hybrid amp. Tube front end makes a difference. | |
