| Whats on your turntable tonight? Last night I was listening to Two against Nature , Analog Productions 45 RPM A more recent release. sounding exceptional! | |
| Devore O/96 with high powered amplifiers To me....you may be on the cusp of having the Best of all worlds , keep a high powered SS amp and also purchase a low watt Tube amp, perhaps a pair of mono 300B's. Both will have different sound signatures and give you more options! My sugg... | |
| Looking for a simple system @coltrane1 "I’d forget all about streaming. I’d spend my money on cd’s or vinyl, or like I have, both." Yes I would have to agree I generally like Vinyl best and have many assorted CD's - However with a 10K TTL budget ........ a pretty good TT... | |
| Looking for a simple system all kinds of great advise I suggest streamer : buy an Eversolo DMP-8 covers the DAC as well - could use as a PRE - but I like my PRE's to have tubes ( 6SN7's). it is all of $2K and blew my $3K stand alone DAC out of the water with more detail... | |

| For Tube Folks... @ghdprentice once I went to your pictures - it appears you are quite the photographer. Thoroughly enjoyed some of your city shots after the tubes. You know how to make a camera sing ! | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? Interesting - @cundare2 - does the MM work on the PS 4.6? where are you located? wondering if I can just use the phono pre? | |
| Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars? https://www.48recordbar.com/ Philadelphia PA ^^^^ No I have not been there YET! Was supposed to meet my son there a month ago but he had to cancel. He is an audio engineer, musician , podcast recording engineer and has several Grammy's to his ... | |
| Amp for Vintage Heresy Overall I agree with @mrdecibel but really did enjoy a Tube Amp and Tube Pre with my Heresy 1's . I even ran a Tube DAC with them to take some of the brightness out as they were usually in smaller room. My son now has them and uses an old but f... | |
| Need A 10-30 watt Tube Power Amp, Lower Heat Output, Which Sounds Great, Under $1500 Used Agreed a Will Vincent , Bob Latino or Van Alstine would do the trick for your budget and have a long life . 300B's are also great but consider the cost of replacing the tubes if you are playing in your office 8 hours 5 days a week . I had a Van A... | |
