| Got a Node 2i, what's next? @vinylzone I cannot suggest a DAC, but simply to explore and you will find how nice hi-res streaming can be. I bought an integrated last year that had a very nice built-in DAC as a bonus. I also picked up the Node2i and sometimes the digital... | |
| McIntosh Is this a real post and how does THIS make the highlight reel??Would anyone really post this question on a forum vs communication with their dealer/mfg? | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Hoping you take MC's advice....I cringed and smiled as I went through his sequence of events. He is spot on!I share this as a just how frustrating box shipping can be. I know your package would not be as susceptible as my my company's but just a... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade @nmmusicman Well, that is a good way for me to redirect my funds to a patio and leave the stereo alone! You know, I have been having my doubts over the weekend since I did love the move to the Benz. It was a $1600 cartridge new so I am basically... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade @tablejockeyYep, I am using the integrated's phono section. I heard the differences/improvements as I climbed the phono ladder to end up at an Audio Research REF Phono 2 prior to getting the GSi75. I also had a REF 3 and REF 150 to round out tha... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade @tablejockey I am glad you mention the Apheta! I forgot I actually got a very low hour Apheta 3 with my RP 10. I already had the Benz for several months and was used to that sound and tried the Apheta. It was very bright to me and I didn’t care ... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade @drrsutliff I have not tried arm spacers on my Rega tables. I have trusted their philosophy that as long as the cartridge body is fairly parallel and the rear is not angled down to actually make contact with the record then you are okay. Both m... | |
| Help in deciding between these two cartridges for an upgrade Thanks for that option, MCI had been focused on the other two due to the nice deals from Kron here on Agon. I simply cannot pay retail for most anything, especially high-end audio components. After reading Michael's review, I actually stumbled a... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well I cannot attest to vintage vs new but feel compelled to assure you there are SQ differences between DACs. I believe most have/would agree. My limited experience is using a Bluesound Node2i with my Audio Research GSi75. The comparison of analog o... | |
| Egglestonworks Emma Evo @mpomerantzWhat did you decide? Did you go for the Eggs or get a demo anywhere? | |

| Audio Companies with Integrity?? Wilson Audio - Trent was quite patient and helpful when I called for advice on how to repair the cracked seams on my used purchase of some Sophia 1s. He informed me that it was a glue defect during a certain production run and they would be happy... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? I picked up a pair of Sophia 1 last year for a great price as the finish had cracks at most of the seams. I called Wilson to ask advice on how to repair. They told me that this was due to a glue defect during a period of production. I paid to ship... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I do have 2 homemade dough balls and 15lbs of premium cheese in the freezer LOL. I used to own a pizza place and Kraft just doesn't cut it. Grande restaurant cheese straight from WI is the way to go. Find it at your local pizzeria and ask to bu... |
