| My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers... Try the KEF LS50 with the Yamaha intregrated.... you might find that combination very alluring. We also have a set of Fritz Groves which are also amazing. The Carbon 7's and REV 5 are also absurdly good with the right stuff upstream. | |
| Recommendation for Tonearm Cable Morrow Audio...We have a PH-6 and it is outstanding on our VPI 3d tonearm and Soundsmith AIDA...Puts an already very capable combination to even another level, when we changed out an already very good but non-phono dedicated cable. They have a PH... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations Anything by, Cardas, Kimber, or Wywires is very good. I would also put Morrow audio MA-2 on your very short list. We have MA-4s and they are excellent. I have also used Audioquest, and Cardas cables with great results, although similar performance... | |
| Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room We now have Fritz Grove Speakers... they are excellent. We have owned the Vandy's too(1B, and 2Ce) They are quite nice too. Both the 1Ci and Grove will offer plenty of extension with quite a bit of resolution. It would be hard to go wrong with eit... | |
| Please help ...integrated amp under $1200 Wyred for sound MINT, has steaming too. Rega Brio. | |
| Help Id speakers I had a set of Wharfedale Sapphires that were like that....very nice to me. A friend enjoys them now. | |
| My final table , hopefully ! We have a VPI Prime which is outstanding. Even in its most humble trim w/o SDS or other outboard speed control, performance still holds its own against tables 2-3 times its price. If your budget is not quite that much, consider the Scout Jr. It wi... | |
| Mellow speakers What cartridge on your VPI Classic?? | |
| Mellow speakers Nola boxer, or Joseph Audio Prism | |
| Recos for entry level Bookshelf speaker $400-750 for 21yo nieces first system? ELAC B5/6 or Unify 5 depending on budget, PS Audio sprout for a very compact system making no apologies at triple the 1-1.5 k investment...total! | |
| Anything you liked at the Newport Show? Liked both Brooks Berdan locations featuring Roksan gear and record cleaning solutions, liked Wyred for Sound's new reference amp and preamp. It is an awesome match with the KEF Reference speakers. Really liked Legacy's room as well. Audio Element... | |
| Your single favorite component Vpi Prime and our ears | |
| best integrated amp. Wyred 4 Sound STI 500 or STI 1000 should be on your very short list. Save 5k and buy music... IMHO will keep up with any world class costing 10k. If you MUST spend 5-7k buy 2....or 3. | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Wilson Max 2's or 3's, Vandy 5a carbons, Vivid Audio G3, or B2. B&W 800 or 802 diamonds. Wilson Alexia, KEF Blade 1, Reference 5. Sony SSAR1. That is just a start depending on gear upstream, room size and listening habits. | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Just to throw another thought out there.... Check out the new Vandersteen. Treo CT... Could be very compelling, depending on room size. The Sabrina's even though smaller may also be really nice too, with both having more recent driver technology. ... |
