| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range In that price range the best speakers are without a doubt Verity, or Wilson, or maybe Vandersteen, perhaps Magico or YG, I'm thinking Focal, wait maybe .................. | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? If you can find one the Herron VTSP-3A is a steller line stage. Should work well with the M1's. It would be tough to find one used at your price though. | |
| Cryo'ed LP's Geoffkait, you were going to mention the possible explination? | |
| Cryo'ed LP's Is there any benefit to having oneself cryo'd? I mean, one of the most important components in the chain is the listener so perhaps I will send myself in for cryo-ing. My room is cryo'd, I live in minnesota and can't afford to pay my heating bill ... | |
| acrolink vs. esoteric/ acrolink Good question, I also would like to know. I have not been able to find anything further on any of the audio forums. | |
| You'll know it when you hear it Mitch4t, that is a good argument for vintage audio. I remember in the 70's when I was in high school, going to freinds houses, listening to Aqualung and various pink floyd and led zepplin lp's while enjoying the ritual of the bud, and in fact, man... | |
| You'll know it when you hear it My favorites are the "....ality" series of descriptions. Musicality, etc. The most elusive thing for us audiophles is the pursuit of "Moreality". We will always want more; more base, more highs, more detail, more seamlessness, more soundstage, mor... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A vs. Shindo This will be interesting. I have auditioned many tube pre-amps before settling on the Herron, but I have not heard a Shindo, I would have liked to as my bias is that this is a company driven by passion for music. Given that, I can tell you my impr... | |
| VPI Scout II questions Probably because the classic came out and we audiofools love the newest latest and bestest. I actually have heard both and was not blown away by the classic. I think that the scout series is a great table and offers a nice upgrade path for those t... | |
| Under $1,000 Cartridge for Aries 2 Extended A lot would depend on your phono pre-amp. If you can handle the output two I recommend very highly are the shelter 501 MkII and the dynavectore 17d3 | |
| How long should a cartridge last? You should have gotten a trade in for your old shelter 501. The replacement price is $650-$700, somewhere in between. This is from Axiss audio, the importer. Not setting up the Cartridge properly will shorten the life. My last Shelter 501 had abou... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 I recently went to a VTPH-2 from a eastern electric minimax phono. Now the mini max had about $300 worth of carefully selected NOS tubes and I continue to think the minimax is the best buy in phono amps, that being said, I like the Herron more. It... | |
| Thiel speaker placement - am I crazy? I am glad your system is sounding better, one must adjust it to their ears and space. But, back to your original question. Yes, you are crazy. Enjoy the insanity. | |
| for the ultimate vinyl analog lover---when you die I'd die if my vinyl was full of my ashes, how would my RCM get that crap out of the grooves. | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Audiogon-bill, don't forget Jacob Marley. As seen above there are those that had positive experiences with SbyS and remember those with enough fondness to weigh in on a positive note. Jacob was the first ghost and expressed his concern for his old... |
