| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @bjesien If you like the tone and are okay with stage, etc, about adding a subwoofer? i have considered a sub, but for some reason it’s just never struck my curiosity in the same way. I’ve heard subs make a great difference in several systems... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @hilde45 Thanks for the additional feedback and the side message on the LTA. I plan to message you back but having technical difficulties apparently, but I'll figure it out. Didn't want to leave you hanging! | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @dogearedaudio I think that’s a reasonable statement, and it’s something I’ve thought about. I don’t feel on the day to day that I’m lacking power, but I have considered several higher power options. The class A power is consistently surprising. L... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @jrareform in my experience you really don't even need a treated room or ultra high end gear. You just need a decent room, decent equipment, and a GOOD setup. I've been in several rooms that offer this (including my own) and the difference between... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @hilde45 I'm glad you mentioned the mentioned the LTA amps as well. Those have been on my radar, and I was lucky enough to hear their gear in two different systems at SWAF. The Areo Dac is very interesting, and something I would strongly consider.... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @ghdprentice I think you’re absolutely right. I’ve been lucky enough to be exposed to several truly high end systems in homes with amazingly built out rooms, some designed from the initial home build. I’ve been spoiled and deep down I’m just conti... | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @erik_squires and @dwest1023 I've actually never been one to keep a lot of equipment. Always want to focus in going all in on something I love. This issue now has become affording the things that I love | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? @bjesien the speakers are Rosso Fiorentino Certaldo Series 1. My room is fairly small at about 12x15. @tooblue I wish my wife would give me the little push. I have a new rack on the way, so I think any additional gear talk is going to result in ... | |
| Which amplifier I’m going to slow you down. You don’t HAVE to buy either of these amps. You are spending thousands of dollars. It’s worth getting a demo. I’ve said this to friends in this hobby for years: If you are willing to spend over $5000 on a single piece... | |
| Looking for a more solid-feeling turntable (and maybe a new preamp) Here ya go! https://www.vpiindustries.com/vpiforevermodelone This is what I would be looking at in this price range. I would also consider Dr. Feickert, but after seeing the VPI Forever model one in person I would honestly be giving it a stron... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One @lewm as I've read more it sounds like I would potentially need a thicker mat for my Hana cartridge on the 1200G anyway. Certainly something I'd need to consider. So many mixed reviews and comments, so it might not be totally necessary, but seems ... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Im using a VPI Superscoutmaster from many years ago ( bought new).. sold to me by Harry himself. I upgraded the belt drive to rim drive, the platter to the solid metal one, the arm to the plastic (?) one, still using the SDS ( better than the n... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Getting the platter pad right is something you have to do with almost every 'table made... What about tables that don't use or require a platter pad? My mofi table, VPI tables, etc. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One @atmasphere so what you’re really saying is that even though the Technics is nearly impossible to demo (for me) because of their limited dealer network, a demo is effectively worthless because the pad has such a significant impact on the sound? ... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Appreciate that feedback. I actually demoed the GR side by side against the Mofi Ultradeck. I like to refer to that as a “buyers” demo instead of a “reviewers” demo. I asked the dealer to pick any cart he felt worked well with the GR that would pu... |
