| ZYX R100 vs ZYX R100 Yatra I was wondering the same. I'm getting back into vinyl and the ZYX R100 is on my short list. Hope my post jumpstarts this thread! | |

| Upgrades to Analog System I agree that the Marantz PM-11S2 is the weakest link. You have a great analog front end and an excellent speaker set up. If you like the polite sound of the Marantz consider a Jeff Rowland Concentra 2 or if you want more power a Coda CSiB. These a... | |

| Narrowing Down the Speaker Search Read to many posts from respected ears that the Zu is over the top(fake). Never heard a Living Voice but they could be a better match with a tube amp. Listened to a De Capo almost 10 years ago, it was pleasent but overly warm/colored. The Proacs a... | |
| New but old fashioned looking speakers… Audes-Maestro 146-156. From what I was told(salesman) they can play very loud without break up. Much closer in sound to a Thiel CS 2.4 then a Vandersteen 3A. Almost bought a 155(previous model) but settled on a more refined looking and room friend... | |
| Harry Pearson HP No Longer at TAS HP was an early HEA mentor for me. TAS was at times complex and frustrating but also compelling for a teenager to digest. TAS/HP helped me develop the same appreciation for music as well as fine audio equipment. When an audio publication reaches t... | |

| R.I.P. Andy Williams Always liked his version of "Speak Softly Love". | |
| Which speakers should I get. $500-$1000 Another vote for the Vienna Acoustic Bach Grand. A Primare I31 would be a cost effective amp match. | |
| Turntable, but which one? I just recently heard a SME 20 with a Koetsu Coralstone Platinum at a Sonus Faber Aida demonstration. I would agree with a dark perspective. I would certainly not suggest a "lifeless" sound maybe a shade polite. From what i've read the SME 10 coul... | |
| Guidance on speaker values Elizabeth is right on the money! I would expect 10% off a new speaker as a courtesy discount. A demo 25%-40% off depending on age-condition and demand. With a used speaker even if it's a one owner and is less then a year old I would still expect 5... | |
| An audiophile dilemma From my limited experience with pro-monitors, they put you inside the recording studio not in row C or H. That means they collapse the soundstage and don't float images in a 3D holographic way as most audiophile speakers do. Maybe mid-field monito... | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? Please!!! Keep Audiogon free of TMZ fodder! | |
| Audiophile 'Attitude' I think it was 90' or 91' when I went to hear the Mirage M1. I made it clear to the salesman that the M1 was not in my budget but want to upgrade my Sony cdp. The M1 room had Mark Levinson and Proceed gear. He told me not to touch the Proceed cdp ... |
