| What brand did you leave Rega for? We all know Rega turntables are far from perfect. But the P7 and P9 offer alot of musical engagement regardless of cost. The P9 RB1000 tonearm is good enough for $2k+ phono cartridges. You probably need to move up to a Spiral Groove SG-2(15k?)to b... | |
| New Speaker for Under 5K Since I don't know what electronics your using or room dimensions I can only suggest 6 of the best all round speakers at approximately $5k or less(of course this is my opinion). All theses speakers are capable of bass 40hz or lower. ATC-SCM 40Elac... | |

| Kevin gets the Drubin-There are many dealers that really care about music, the quality of their products they sell and most importantly their customers(regardless of how much they spend). From my very limited experience with Upscale and the consensus of the comm... | |
| Kevin gets the When looking for speakers(18 months ago) Upscale had NOS Opera speakers discounted. I was interested in the NIB Seconda. In my email I asked if they were firm on the price, the reponse was that's a strange question? I had no idea that bartering wa... | |
| Audio Technica AT-OC9ML/II Questions I have about 50 hours on the AT-OC9MK2 so I assume it's close to being fully broke in. Mine is mounted on a Rega P9, tracking is set at 1.7g and no spacer/shim was needed. Neutral and linear would be the simplest way to describe the sound, similia... | |
| Audio Research DSI 200 integrated amp For $6500 you can do better then an ARC DSI-200. I heard the 200 driving a Magnepan 1.7 and was disappointed. The ARC produced a fake type of "sweetness". This was an early production model, maybe ARC has improved the sonics? Since I have not hear... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Bottomline is most music sucks old or new! Of all the recorded music how many recordings do you need or want? | |
| Help? Quadraspire Q4 Evo stand v SolidTech Radius? I use a Solid Tech Radius Duo 2. I did alot of research regarding my audio rack purchase. I decided on the Solid Tech-Duo 2 over the Solid Steel 5.4 due to more self space and a better appearence. I have filled my posts(6) 3/5 of the way with cat ... | |
| Ray Manzarek RIP The Doors were truly the first "alternative" pop/rock band. The timeless lyrics will always attract young adults seeking the answers/purpose in life. In the early 80's when I was in high school The Doors were probably the most popular band. They c... | |
| Elac Loudspeakers? I have a Valve Audio Predator which is a true overachiever. I upgraded the tubes(Mullard cv 2493) and I don't have any treble grain with the FS8. I realize the superior JET tweeter could expose this(grain) along with added tube hiss from the pream... | |
| Elac Loudspeakers? Kclone-I appreciate your Elac update and keeping this thread alive since very little info from Elac owners are posted. My Focus Audio FS8 speakers do many things right but are limited mainly due to driver size. The Elac FS 249 is on a short list f... | |

| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? MAC's lower priced intergrateds 6300/6600 are poor sounding when considering cost. My Valve Audio Predator destroys both models. I bet a properly working NAD S300(<$1K used) would crush these as well! Reliabilty of their cd players/transports h... | |
