| I have spica angelus speakers, how do I know when the cross over needs rebuilding? I heard S. Angelus on several occasions and while it was an exceptional speaker for the price a number of years ago, I feel replacing it with something new (or even a vintage speaker of better quality) would be a better choice- they just sounded "... | |
| I would like to get into Turntables but ......... HELP! This site is mainly about fairly sophisticated "record players" for peoplewith a sizable collection of choice records, and a fairly advanced level ofaudio components to boot. A basic turntable (plug and play as you stated) can be bought from any ... | |
| Audiophiles are not alone Similar comparisons have been conducted in the past with the same results. "Some" strads are supposed to be outstanding musical examples while others are not and appear to be quite average. There is a documentary about Steinway concert grands wh... | |
| Best Debut Albums James Taylor- Sweet Baby JamesSimon and Garfunkel- Sounds of SilenceNot a debut record but Santana-Abraxas- instant classic Moody Blues- I don't know which came 1st, but they're all good. | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? Hello ricred1, I didn't want to imply that your speakers are inferior in some way- I have never heard them. But one example i can offer is the day i heard Wilson MAXXspeakers and then after those the Alexandria's at a local store. The upgrade w... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? I personally don't feel that you can improve on a new current-production JRDG amplifier for under $20K. If you get a tube amp or a tube-hybrid amp you "might" get a result you like better, but for pure SS i don't see much real improvement in the ... | |
| Pass Labs Imagine the human race as a colony of bacteria on a petri plate. the agar it feeds on is the earth. we "know" what we have to do for ourlong term survival but we don't have the will, even with the lives of ourchildren at stake. We don't have th... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars EgglestonWorks Andra II or III- Full range, easy to place in the room,very smooth response, very realistic sound. very well constructed. Downside- 225lbs/each. | |
| Krell Evo One vs Evo 600e/900e No personal experience- sorry. But FWIW, if PassLabs has an XA-200.8 amplifier that is STILL not the equal of the XS-150 (with "less power"),one can only assume that the BIG difference between the two is the outboard power supply unit with the XS... | |
| Any electronic modders here at Audiogon? I wish i had the knowledge and the tools to upgrade my Tivoli #3 radio.It is set up on either side of my bed with dual subwoofers. The radiois connected to an Apple laptop with USB out to an AudioEngine DAC.This "system" sounds really good and loo... | |
| Larry Coryell RIP I was fortunate to see him play in a jazz club several years back. His set started out on acoustic guitar, and then the 2nd half consisted of electric (les paul) guitar. To be honest he was even better on acoustic (IMO), but the entire set was ju... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? IF- there were a variety of high-end audio stores in your area, you could do a lot of auditioning- and then find a system that meets or exceeds the performance of certain super-expensive components for a good deal less. At least for your ears and ... | |
| $5,000 to spend for analog front end - advice please...:) I still own a VPI- Aries-1 with the JMW-10 arm and a Benz MC cartridge.I would guess the 10.5i arm is quite a bit better as goheelz recommended (above). The equivalent current choice to consider would be the new Prime turntable (3500)if that meet... | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket Try to save up for Sonus Faber's (electra amators) or Eggleston (Andra's). You will be blown away at the loveliness of the sound comingout of speakers like these. Of course at the same time I am also recommending highly rated sources and amplifi... | |
| Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier? ONCE AGAIN... If anyone thinks that the money in their bank account belongs solely to them alone... they also have to ultimately believe that the earth exists for them alone, that society exists to serve them alone,that people exist to please the... |
