| Cassette decks. How good can it get? Just to follow up to Fonoman and all that excellent advice. I ended up finding a mint condition NAD 6300. It arrived broken and I had to send to my tech. He finally figured out there was a piece of hair wrapped around something that was causing... | |
| Lumin d3 vs hifi rose 130 I own the hifi rose RS130 and I love it. I can't say I've gone to great lengths to compare the sound vs the DCS Rossini, Grimm MU1 or Auralic G1 or Bluesound Node that I've owned as well as others but in use I have enjoyed it most. It's built li... | |
| Need Cartridge Recommendation for Fluance RT85 Turntable you can do a lot better than the Ortofon blue. I would go cheaper Grado over Ortofon Blue all day. There is a 500 range Audio Technica that is really good, I can tolerate playing it on my big rig in the company of 10K plus carts and it's not emba... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! I did exactly the opposite. I got a CD Transport to plug into my DAC and found that the CD played in the transport sounds drastically better than streaming the same album in Roon. Now I'm back to playing whole albums in one sitting and being eng... | |
| Looking for a CD Player Stick with your CDs that you love is my opinion. I've been down all the rabbit holes from tapes, vinyl and CD to streaming exclusively and I find that when streaming, I never get into an album, always jumping around from song to song and for me t... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I sit my RS2T on top of my LTA, it's a perfect match and makes a double height stacking unit that looks meant to be. I use some iso acoustic feet in between the two. I do get some noise right from the CD transport. It's subtle and not audible w... | |
| Klipsch La Scala or Altec 838 speakers I bought some crusty 1977 La Scalas that were pretty rough looking at a garage sale for cheap and hooked them up to my main system and they sounded amazing so much so that I ended up selling some 25K Kef blade speakers I had at the time because th... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? I had the SLP 05 with ultimate upgrade for a few years. It's a great preamp, maybe not the final word in transparency but certainly falls into the camp of classic tube amp (warm) sound. It's audio jewelry, built like a tank. I actually preferre... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I have had no issues with my Project player since new. It sounds great and even better when I jumped up to a Synergistic Research Galileo SX AES digital cable. I've switched my digital from the DCS Rossini to the WAdax Pre 1 that I got to try an... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision If you are going to look at Audio Research might as well add many solid state preamps to the list as that is what AR sounds like to me. I'm no expert about Audio Research but I did spend a year going back and forth with a Ref 6 and Schiit Freya +... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated I'm a little late to the party but I did try at length the 550 AXii with the Cornwall. I found it to be very dull and boring compared to the Decware tube amp and some others too. Just kind of grainy and uninvolved I would call it. Overall I was... | |
| Integrateds: Luxman vs. Ayre? My experience with Luxman was that it is a joy to behold, touch, look at and admire. The sound was rather wooly and flat to my ear in a few systems I tried. Ayre to me is neutral, nothing more and nothing less. Probably going to get a warm and ... | |
| Opinions about Daniel Hertz Great to know the forum posters here are the real experts, not guys like Steve G and Steve H who review equipment every day and have tried more stuff in a year than most of us in a lifetime. | |
| Best Options For A Tubed Preamp - $2500 Or Less, Preferably Used To Maximize Value I would recommend the Schiit Freya + with some top notch tubes. The tubes make this into a whole other preamp than stock. I really love that you get the passive mode as well which can be nice for some music and for a different flavor at times. ... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? I got my hands on a Shunyata King Cobra. It was huge and sounded like it was filled with sand when you tipped it back and forth. I put in on my Wadia CD player and I could not believe how much it changed the sound. |
