| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? kennymacc "Like you, in my current home, in my current room" .............................................

| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? shkong78 Your pockets are much deeper than mine. The Lansche are gorgeous, small enough to fit many people’s spaces, the Altec’s need a converted barn or aircraft hanger, I would love to hear both. DONE. Hmmmmmm, I think I’m done too, just mess... | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! "And now I just want to be content and happy with the wise long-term investment." Investment it is not IMO, just a thoroughly enjoyable system for you and yours. You will be gone, so you won’t be aware of the diminished value, difficulty of sell... | |
| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage OP, You mentioned wood, I presume natural (not painted) wood. Are you sticking to that? Many of the TTs mentioned are NOT wood. Aside from the solid/veneer/wrap issue I mentioned above, Wood Plinth Construction varies. 1. a frame to drop the T... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Oh Yeah. Done, with Spare Vintage Parts downstairs. Die with them, none too soon please! It was the sound of these speakers/drivers that got me thoroughly hooked in 1971. Came in a 1958 Fisher Console, President II, I inherited from my uncle. ... | |

| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage Mirco Seiki with Pioneer Arm from Vlad. 1,600 cad is $1,160. usd (I bought my JVC TT/Plinth from Vlad, I highly recommend him) https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/650020068-micro-seiki-ddl-120-turntable-with-quality-pioneer-carbon-fiber-tone... | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Songwriting, for me, is words/stories, then combine that with Artistry. So Jazz doesn’t fit for me even though Jazz is my main thing for many years. Bob Dylan, even if you don’t like his voice, or many times his crappy live performances, has to b... | |

| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage I think you are asking for a combo TT/Plinth/Arm/Cartridge/Phono Stage that is very unlikely to be found. Here is a interesting Denon package, read the detailed description. DP80 is highly respected, real veneer, not vinyl wrap. Extra arm boards... | |
| Can you touch the tubes? Since Halogen was brought up, I’ll tell you my experience with 400 watt Metal Halide for Office Lighting. I designed Corporate Office Space for a living. I was an early adopter and specifier of Furniture Mounted Indirect Lighting for Office Cubie... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? Well, Vinyl is my primary Source, so... IMO: OP is correct: upgrade cartridge 1st. Anyone wanting to get started with vinyl, I recommend this TT. (I had one for years). If they stick with vinyl, then move up. (what, in what order the OP asks) h... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? I am a big fan of interchangeable headshells, to change my half dozen cartridges, to put a friend’s headshell/cartridge they may bring to hear their cartridge in my system, and in comparison to one of mine or another of theirs. Spinner: I go for ... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system A good unit can be an asset, especially a bypass that helps you hear the differences it makes. That unit does not have independent L and R adjustments. It seems like a good choice IF your space is perfectly symmetrical. You may know, but I am a... |
