| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? Ws_trader - Currently my only tube unit is the Bottlehead pre. While I have a variety of tubes for it, my A/B comparisons (versus the SS Bryston) have not been very impressive. I do have a tube phono preamp on order and just upgraded my speakers s... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? There seems to be a growing consensus about the opportunity I have in my analog setup and I agree. I did a quick comparison this afternoon using an identical CD & vinyl of an recording I know well and was surprised to discover the CD sounded b... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? A couple of you have asked about my current amp (Bryston B60) or suggested something more powerful would be worth pursuing. I had, for a while, their bigger amp (3b) using it with several well regarded preamps. It never really floated my boat as i... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? Jperry - well "bigger steps" is an understatement. Hold on a minute while I catch my breath...:8) Not to be timid (I suddenly am) but TT + arm + cart + phono pre are probably well past my courage level not to mention my near term investment limit.... | |
| Resolution Audio CD55 Gotta say, I know this is a 14 year old thread but since Gary died not all that long ago, I wanted to leave a positive in his memory. I lived in Lake Oswego for a decade, went into his shop regularly, bought minor stuff (too many kids to really bu... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? I have a Bottlehead pre that has some hum to it. Sounds like its time to get out the soldering iron and fix it. At least before I make a major commitment. | |
| Vendor war stories . . . good ones that is . . . Actually, I've got another one...about Thiel. Called them when my son tipped over my 1.5s and caused a tiny chip in the black paint. I called Thiel hopeing to get a paint color number that I could go match. The nice young gal who answered, hearing... | |
| Vendor war stories . . . good ones that is . . . Rello - I did tell the Bryston tech that it was struck by lightening, just waited until he'd had a chance to see it. It seemed like it made it a more interesting job for him. Happen to me with the iPod that was also on the same circuit . . . the r... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? So Mensch & Williewonka, thanks. Looks like I've got some work/play to do here. I'm not sure if I can do justice to your suggestions until our construction project is done (90 days) but once that's in place, it will certainly be worth the effo... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I have the same little integrated as Barry. And a war story behind it: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1391132247&openmine&zzDancub&4&5#Dancub | |
| Vendor war stories . . . good ones that is . . . Never thought of it as prepaid...that's funny! Great story too, Brf | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? Gslone - got a vac cleaner so am starting to use. Courant - I do have a couple ADCs but not sure what to do with them. The records I want to transcribe are, so far, limited. Don't know what if anything else they buy me.....?No one's suggested an a... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? OK, just got out of the real world and OMG, lots of opportunity here! So to summarize:'- Czarivey - yeah, I know, digial's the future. I do have plenty of storage (~6 TB), a fast connection and the itch but I'm a little hesitant to jump into anoth... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? Zd542 - thanks...what phono amp would you think would be synergistic in my system? | |
| Thiel death do we part . . . Stevecham - that was my experience, too, and I bought used ones. Actually, now that you mention it, the guy I bought from might have sold them for that reason. |
