| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Thanks for the helpful responses! Thanks mulvely and daveyf especially because I think our experiences are similar. I do listen to my Harbeth M30.1s in the near field which I'm now realizing is another factor. | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? Thanks, yeah the aesthetic is super important since it's in our main living space, hence the need for a one box solution. | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? Thanks for the suggestions, even the dealers! I never understood why people think their input isn't valid. They carry the products because they sell and they sell because they are good and customers are happy with them, right? At least that's what... | |
| Anyone upgrade from a Loricraft to ultrasonic record cleaning? Thanks! This looks like some great reading and could be a project that I'd really enjoy. | |
| Anyone upgrade from a Loricraft to ultrasonic record cleaning? I do if it makes them quieter. | |
| What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away Same issue. Moving on to another site. Too much trouble (the "find your merchant ID" thing didn’t work) and they are probably just setting up an increase in fees for "businesses" in the future. Honestly Audiogon is hosting way too many dealer ads ... | |
| The best looking speakers Harbeths but that depends on your decor. In our kinda modern loft sort of place, the M30.1s are gorgeous, especially on thin stands like the old Foundation. That said, I think the best looking speaker of all time is the original Quad ESL, loved by... | |
| Small Floorstander? A lot of great ideas! I’ve got listening sessions scheduled for this and next weekend. Thanks! | |
| What's a real good arm for a Decca Cartridge? I would guess around 26g.Here's a weird one. I swapped out the 3" maple shelf I had installed on my wall shelf just a month ago and went back to the 1/2" maple shelf I was using before and it has only misracked once since then in two days of liste... | |
| What's a real good arm for a Decca Cartridge? Thanks for all the info! I've got a test record on the way and I'll add even more mass to my Fidelity Research headshell. I've been lining the inside of the headshell with the lead tape that is normally used for golf and tennis equipment. That has... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 Used Well Tempered Simplex. I had some really nice pretty expensive tables before it. LP12, Amazon 2, Mitchel Orbe. Simplex was better than all of them and super easy to set up. | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? @dhcod I have the same cartridge as you in my main table - a Decca London Super Gold with a Paratrace stylus - mounted in a 12" Jelco 850.Could you kindly describe the different tonearms you moved through and the differences wrought? I have only u... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? No one needs to say it because it’s so obvious. I have never made a carefully selected tonearm upgrade that wasn’t a huge improvement. This includes going from a Rega arm to a Jelco which was huge and a Jelco to an SME. And 5 more since then. A be... | |
| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono Regarding the SME wire..... I was going to replace the tonearm cable only which just from anecdotal evidence from owning a couple of their arms in the past and also from people I've known that have upgraded from the stock cable, aren't great. The... | |
| Any Hagerman Trumpet users have tube suggestions? I'm now using the TFK 12AX7s from my old phono pre and just got the Bugle Boys in yesterday. BBs are way better than the others I tried and worth the money. Thanks for the suggestions. |
