| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Steve, that's the neat thing about audio. To your ears and in your system you love the Technics/Stanton. I used to use that set up many years ago and changed to a Rotel/Van den Hul MM1 that I'm currently selling. I liked the Rotel much better for ... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Great post Kiko. You really broke it down the way many of us see it. | |
| Personal speaker evolution You probably want a 5 channel amp. For what you have Marantz or Anthem or NAD are all good bets. They give real power. I'd personally go with NAD or Anthem as their amps seem to power all channels and don't get overloaded (from what I hear as I on... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD One of the best posts in this whole thread is Mrmb's. At this price point, most designs are or should be price no object in regards to tubes. If tubes aren't going to be available, then what will the owner do when their magic tube is done? I can't... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I always liked stats and even purchased Stax Lambda's that I'm selling, however recently I've heard a ton of stats as I am getting a new system and for me, I've yet to hear one I like. No matter the amp, they just don't do it for me. They seems to... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I just found a new audio store that carries those along with Audio Note stuff that's near my house. I had never heard of them. I may check them out as I always like to hear what's out there even though I love what I have coming my way this next we... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I'm still a Vandersteen fan after hearing so many different speakers over the last couple of weeks. Honesty, up and down the line their dynamics are very real as is their staging and imaging. I just don't fully get that response from any of the ot... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD What is the record for most hits I wonder? I also wonder if this thread will have a shelf life (ie how many posts are allowed before it self locks). I'm on a sports board and have started a few threads that went 30 or so pages that was all that it... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... I wonder if Rega knows that most use their own isolation devices and that's why they do this. Heck, if I can find a 1k rig with everything and make it sound as good as a 2k rig by adding a 350 device, that's still a big bargain to me. I have now h... | |
| Best speaker cable for Krell/Dynaudio? LOL... it's all good. | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... I decided to get a great Gingko Cloud 11. These things sound freaking awesome. I've heard them in a few places on different tables and WOW for the cost. I have heard all kinds of devices, however so many ruin the sound. I think that it depends on ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Larry, I think you are right. I was blown away by the Proacs and I've been a Proac guy for years and years, but they haven't sounded like that. With the right components, I think they can bloom, but they do need some power. I heard them with 50wat... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I have finally heard a ribbon that I liked. Proac D30's got it right and for the price are on the must audition list. Tubes did them right ;)...Ayre TT, Ortofon arm and cart too. Any vinyl will do most systems right ;).I heard top Audio Note speak... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... great posts to all. I've been listening to a ton of tables lately. More than I should be, lol. I have found that most of the tables above 5 k (with arm and cart) are well worth it IF you can afford it. There are so many differences in the lower pr... | |
| Best speaker cable for Krell/Dynaudio? Bo, how do I find your other threads. Just interested. ThanksJust back from a long trip to Wash DC via Audio Connections in Verona, NJ and a bunch of stores down to DejaVu in VA. Those are the two best audio stores I have come across in years. Pas... |
