| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines @terry9 We are extremely fortunate that our listening area will be directly above our garage which houses our breaker box. So running a dedicated power line will be extremely easy as will housing power dedicated equipment. A record cleaner will ... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines will do :-) | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Thanks for the reassurance @oleschool and @gdnrbob. I know I’ll find what suits my needs/wants best eventually. I had a local shop turn me onto the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP. Does any one have any thoughts/experience with that amp? @miner42 I... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines @inna I learned my lesson the hard way on that. I was actually sitting down with my wife to make a decision on the VAC last night and it was gone. I found the same amp listed on another forum from the same seller, but I doubt it is still availab... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Well, I unfortunately missed the deal on the Cronus Magnum ii, because our travels over the holiday got a bit crazy. In addition, we were faced with the option of opening up a second BnB location that would have eliminated our stereo budget. We ha... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Ok, so I'm strongly considering going with a set of used vandy 3a sigs. Same price as new 2ce sig II, so why not? I have found a couple of used sets online, but I'm waiting to hear back from the sellers on details. One seller is apparently a me... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Ok, so I was able to go to the Needle Doctor in Minneapolis yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised with how I was treated by their staff. It was the first time in over 15 years that I had an audio salesman who actually was into the hobby and not ... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Wow, thank you all for your responses! I've been going through all of your recommendations and trying to research them to the best of my ability with the resources that I know of at this time. I do want to reiterate something at this point so th... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines gdnrbob, unfortunately, that addresses a concern that we had about the 2's. Keep in mind, that this is our first system. We will probably upgrade to the quattros in the future and move these speakers to another room where they will be better sui... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Infection, I already have a decent amount of dislike for dealers. I can't believe how they go out of their way not to help you. Erik_squires, room acoustics is something we are already planning to work on and will be trying to improve them as we... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Thanks inna! We are primarily into piano heavy jazz and vocals. Orchestra isn't our thing, so huge amounts of power shouldn't be a concern. You were right when you said we want a warm cozy relaxed sound, but we also want to make sure we have de... |
