| A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game Great review—thanks for taking the time to give us a complete picture. Heard these at CAF and was impressed. If I ever have the room they would be at the top of my list along with a pair of Sound Labs. Enjoy!! | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Big Harbeth fan. Heard them all and owned the C-7s for many years. the M40 is an amazing full range speaker--one of my favorites of all time. IMHO, too big for your room--you won't get the best from them--they like room to breath like all Harbeth ... | |

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Sounds like the Daedalus Apollo’s might be the ticket. Send me a PM if you want to learn more. | |
| Cartridge for vpi Aries scout with jmw9 tonearm I ran an AT OC 9 on that arm and loved it! | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Very interesting thread--thanks everyone who has participated. For those who wish to explore a newcomer to the idler-type turntable marketplace, I have posted Part 1 of my "review" of the Sempersonus TE-2, TW Acustic Raven 12, Charisma Audio Signa... | |
| Really need some help finding a full range speaker Sounds like Daedalus Audio might be the ticket. Check them out and send me a PM if interested—my previously owned and loved DA-1.1s are being sold by a friend of mine. | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers Am I the only one who thinks this is one of the ugliest speakers ever made? And how will it look with thick speaker wires running more than halfway up the back to reach those binding posts? They better sound really good! | |
| Phono Cartridge for $1,000. If your arm leans toward medium-low mass the ART 9 is very hard to beat at that price. Maybe the one component I most regret selling. | |
| Anybody hear both the Coda 07x and the Herron vtsp 360? Haven’t heard the Coda but have owned the VTSP-3a (R03) for many years now (previous model to the 360) which is a fantastic pre. The thing you should know is that Herron’s do not have a classic tube sound (excessive warmth, truncated extension, no... | |
| New speakers and guidance Congrats on the Apollo’s they are phenomenal and far superior to the Ulysses which are no slouch but do not have the new Eton tweeter, latest crossover design and components or the ten inch woofer. All of which are game changers. I know the Ulysse... | |
| How many people here generally buy used? I spent many years buying and selling used gear, figuring out my sonic preferences while living within my means. More recently moved to working directly with small boutique manufacturers to obtain new gear that gets me really close to what sounds ... | |
| 3 Cartridges Reviewed Hey Garth—I’ve sold my VPI along with the MIMC Star and do not have much direct experience with the 103. I understand the stock 103 is quite good and the modded versions move the bar up further but I’m sure you have read the same online. Looking b... | |
| Charisma Audio Cartridges Just circling back now that I have the Charisma broken in on my new Sempersonus TE-2/TW Raven arm/WyWires Platinum phono cable. I've got at least 50 hours on the cartridge. My previous vinyl playback system was a custom VPI Scout "Supreme"--basica... | |
