| Looking for the best Preamp with a phono circuit built in Agree with celander. The Audible Illusions have a very good phono section. I had a 2D for 18 years and a 3A w/ John Curl MC phono section for 5 years. 23 years of AI enjoyment. I finally decided to go all out and do the preamp, and separate ph... | |
| Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects? inna,I agree, you can set the system off balance or too far in one direction from neutral. In my case, I loved what the Teo GC cables did in my system. I used them from both of my front ends to the preamp. BUT.. when I tried another Teo GC from... | |
| Recommendation on power amp newtoncr,Where are you located? Read up on Nuforce or Nuprime amps, especially with Bob Smith of TDSS' upgrades to them--factory authorized by the way. I've taken mine to 5 different friend's systems and the result was the same in all. It was t... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl udog,I have bought 2 different Super Hot Stampers, the second best record Better Records sells out of a set of the same albums. In both cases, the original records I've had since college both sounded better than the records from Better Records. ... | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally They must be wonderful speakers as I heard the ATC SCM 40's V2 a few weeks ago and was very impressed. I DIDN'T hear the powered version, however. These were powered by expensive Mac mono amps in an all Mac setup otherwise. They wouldn't let me... | |

About 20 years before my dad died, He came in to see me a couple times when I was separated from my wife for a couple years. I went out and bought a barber shop quartet album because my dad used to sing in one ... | |

| Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects? As you get more experienced at this and in the sound you are hoping to achieve, you will generally get little to no satisfaction when you upgrade slightly or it was a sideways move. I like what the reviewer for Dagogo, Doug Schroeder, said about ... | |

| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I need to add this. The VMPS speakers since the advent of the ribbon mids, have captured my heart and ears. Their clarity, transparency, good bass, and very good dynamics make for a moving session. The Vapor build quality of the cabinets is so adv... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I now have the pair of speakers I will never get rid of as long as they keep working. My high end journey past cheaper college systems with speakers that weren't too hot began with Allison Ones about 1978. Had those until changing briefly to Par... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K MA,For looks and sound, the Salk Song 3 or 3A would be excellent--the difference would depend on you sound priorities. Heard the 3's and were very impressed. You could get ones made to your own desires for looks and a little for sound--brand new... | |
| Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K miamiangler,I just heard the ATC SCM V2 speakers at a store.
