| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. Another SME V vote. Shines with everything from a Lyra Atlas to a Sumiko Blue Note #2... MM, MC. They all just work, and overall work well. | |
| Killer used integrated for Just keep what you have, swap the amps to 2 channel and be good. Not going to find much better for the $ you are talking about. And you get Audyssey to deal with room funkiness. | |
| Speaker cable length The biggest issue with mismatched cables is resale as you swap them out, cuz in this game you will, just part of it. Resale is not going to happen unless someone has your specific configuration. If you do inexpensive, or DIY doesn’t matter. | |
| Vinyl Blinds I’ve got a good amount of glass as well and went to the heavy fabric blinds as mentioned above. Works very well. | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Gotta say, the XA25 is an excellent choice and shoots much higher than it is “rated”. Pass very conservatively rated the amp with a .01% THD wattage measurement, at the typical 1% THD measurement it’s actually over three times higher. It really is... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha DAW’s or Alex 1’s? Those “absurd” toe-ins make ALL the difference. If you get any Wilson, do your best to set them up according to the WASP system... you will be glad you did. It is simply shocking how sensitive these speakers are to slight movements. They have some... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Houses of the Holy... need I say more? | |
| Single ended inputs No question is stupid. That’s how we learn... all good. | |
| Decware: a worthwhile option? I purchased a Decware ZLC, haven’t received it yet, but I’m eagerly anticipating. Very nice looking products for sure, overall they seem to be well received too. We’ll see... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha DAW’s or Alex 1’s? Alexx or Alexia? | |
| Gain Matching - need advice What jjss49 said. If you are dead set on the Ref 6, let ARC modify it and do it right. They did my LS17SE. Took a bit, but it was done right and wasn’t a hinky “fix”. | |
| Different volumes streaming Spotify Yep, normalize. Technically, it degrades the sound somewhat, but it’s Spotify, non issue. | |
| Class D I have to say georgehifi according to you the only amps anyone should EVER own are Gryphon, “big” Krells, or D’Augostino, maybe a JC1 pair. It’s the same discussion, the same argument, the same bla, bla, bla. Sure you are a fan, those are some gre... | |
| Right speakers for big room limited to small room placement options @billbouc A: why is a bit of treatment not possible? CuriousB: check out Wilson Sabrina X small, easy to place in your constraints but surprisingly big. Add subs if desired/possible and be in bliss. | |
| will changing to solid-state make the bass in my wilson sophias better at low volume? Subs can get you there for sure. Buy a solid SS from a company that has a trial period and see what happens. Personally, I like the set and forget approach. Constantly changing settings would get tedious to me after a bit. I’m all about finding a ... |
