| Counterpoint, Modwright, Aesthetix sound? I agree with you Jperry. I have heard Aesthetix at Johnny's a couple of times and it was on the Vandy 7's. Sounded just awesome. Also heard the AR stuff on them and they too sounded great. Two different sounds. Most could live with either.The Quic... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Why stop posting in this thread. I am loving the back and forth. Each of you have different views and are expressing them without personal attacks. That's what forums are all about, right?As for the Rega, to me it's a great deal if you like their ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi, Matt, no real update on the Aesthetix. Just saw Johnny (came to set up my new Vandy's and Basic/Heed/Benz system) and he said it's not in yet. He hopes it will be soon and once in, he'll just set it up to run in as quickly as possible. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guys, this is for entertainment. It's Matt's system and house. Everyone wants a great review of their products because so many can't or won't use their own ears when buying. I drive people crazy I bet, but I'm happy with my purchases too. I get de... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... You know the Rega wasn't my cup of tea when I've heard it, but it was a very very good table and much better than anything near it's price. It didn't stand up to a 5k plus Linn or a 8k plus Ayre table. I liked it better than the VPI's I heard (VPI... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Well, my day has finally arrived. Tomorrow John from Audio Connections will be delivering my Vandy Treo's along with my Heed Quasar Phono stage and my Basis 1400, Basis/Rega 300/Micro Benz Glider. It's a demo and he was very fair. In the end, this... | |
| Where to improve phono chain? Have you ever heard the Gingko platforms? WOW..> I have heard Clearaudio, VPI, Rega's, Linn, Ayre, Basis and Audio Note tables on them recently and have been blown away. I liked the Gingko better than the Mapleshade on the Audio Note, however w... | |
| Where to improve phono chain? Honestly, you must look at your cables like a component. If you want the best sound, you have to keep it in your mind. LIke a component, there are price points you need to be at in order to get the best sound for the money. I'd try to borrow some ... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... I think that when I heard the Rega 6, that it wasn't isolated properly. It was just thread bare in the mids. Sterile almost is how it sounded. I heard it vs the totally tricked out Linn 12 and the Linn just had more pace and rhythm. It wasn't even... | |
| Where to improve phono chain? or find a local dealer and take your rig in and see what else is out there and really understand what's good and what you don't like. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mapman, so true. There are a few I've heard recently that I could listen to for hours on end and they aren't always theMOST revealing or the best bass or the best staging, imaging etc... If you hear live music you really don't hear imaging per say... | |
| Upgrade advice needed there are so many things you can do. Since none of us are there it's impossible for any of us to fully know what to do. PUtting a real pre back into the equation makes more sense starting than most anything other than checking your room and placem... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Still Vandy 7. I have listened to some fun speakers over the last month. Many are over 20k, but few did more than move more air in the room. | |
| Audioquest Water looking forward to your review. | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Sounds like a nice rig. Personally, I've learned that getting through a local dealer is supporting the local shops, plus I"ve always had problems in shipping audio. My brother just opened 4 boxes of Paradigms he bought and had shipped. The first t... |
