| Sub-Woofer? Thanks, guys! Bigkidz, I actually had all the capacitors in my preamp, amp and speaker cross-overs replaced. I don't know what brand he used, but he tells me they all had upgraded capacitance.Chazzy and Wolf, I am keeping my eyes open for used RE... | |
| Replace a 0.5 mV Grado Reference Sonata 1 for a Dynavector-DV20X2-H 2.8 mV ??? Thehorn,What yogiboy and noromance said. You have a low-output cartridge with a preamp designed for high-output devices. Maybe Grado will agree to exchange. Or you could look at getting a step-up transformer to enable your exiting cartridge and p... | |
| Sub-Woofer? Thanks Astewart! But I'm planning around a slightly lower budget; this is my first try at a sub-woofer and it's kid of experimental. But thanks for the suggestion!Tutetblimperes, I'm sure you're right. But I'm not really looking for floor-shaking ... | |
| Sub-Woofer? So I left it too late to pick up the REL T5. I'm wondering about just getting SVS that mattmiller recommended,or a Rel T Zero. I'm not interested in home theater; just music.Any thoughts on relative merits of these?Thanks for your input!Gasbose | |
| In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup? I'm not familiar with the Polk (or ET) speakers, but I totally agree with gdnrbob; put your money into speakers first. Then look at amps, pre-amps, etc. And yes, as he says, look for the speakers that 'sing' to you.You're at the beginning of a sea... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Will62:I feel your pain. I've seen these inexpensive and (at least in pictures) attractive Chinese tube amps and have wanted to know what people's experience is. From the comments I've seen (and look above at some of the responses) it seems very h... | |
| Sub-Woofer? Mattmiller (others feel free to chime on). The seller of the T5 says 'no power supply or other accessories included'. What accessories do I need? Is this just the Neutrik Cable (or Signalcable), or does it have a separate outboard power supply too... | |
| Why was the Naim/ELAC thread deleted? Needs a sub-woofer? | |
| What is the preferred cartrige mm or mc and why I don’t have enough experience to say definitely -- and I doubt that you could make a single generalized rule about MM vs MC; I suspect there are really great ones of each type.That said, conventional wisdom is that MC is better because of the low... | |
| Now, I'm confused. +1 1Graber and others.I totally believe changing the preamp -- and perhaps the amp -- will give dramatic sonic advantages. Not familiar with Vandersteen speakers, but am sure people who commented above are right.Oh, yes -- a cartridge change alway... | |
| MC phono cartridge lifespan (when not using) Two great MC cartridges.... Everyone should have problems like that!.... or you could just send me the spare one and I promise I'll look after it for you :-)G | |
| SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!! So how do they sound? Are they worth $500?G | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! +1 Raymundo. Don't try to upgrade turntable -- you'll spend a lot and not get much return. Try the turntable with a better cartridge (again Dynavector for affordable great sound).If you really like it, then look at a new turntable in a few months.... | |
| Everything else being equal, should I expect better Spotify quality through wifi or USB? Thanks, Dougmint for raising this question; I have the same one. I've recently been experimenting with Tidal, and am connecting to my preamp via a fairly generic $25 bluetooth 'adapter' from Amazon. I'm guessing this contains a wifi receiver plus ... | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! Thyname,Vinyl vs digital is very subjective. Personally I love vinyl for serious listening; my CD player is for background listening only. And I can seldom use online services like Tidal as my wife insists it sounds like Muzak (it actually does).I... |
