| Turntable recommendation Rega is a good entry point… lots of choices and should be easy getting complete package.  Personally I would buy from a local dealer. Tts are not like indestructible boxes and spending a few bucks on support (as in not mail ordering) can be rea... | |
| Has Your Hobby Changed? Congradulations… good place to be.  You just described the cycle I went through about every seven to ten years. For seven years or so, I just listen to music. Then for two or three years go through an upgrade cycle: equipment, wire, vibration, ... | |
| Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8 I used to use Transparent Ultra between my Pass 350 and Sonus Faber before I moved to tube amps. | |
| Internet Noise: A Pest in the Machine OP, Â Thank you for the follow up on how you solved the problem. However, what you did to solve the problem makes me wonder. You did not change out the KT88 tubes yet, correct? Makes me wonder if it was a tube acting as a receiver. I would find... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. @pindac  Yes, definitely. Carefully chosen requires footwork, listening skills, reading, exposure to different systems, etc. I think each of us with many decades of experience have chosen slightly different paths to be able to evaluate equipme... | |
| Speaker cables bi wiring for front towers I’ve not had much luck in bi-wiring. While I have not done extensive testing, a couple of my systems have been biwired. Now, bi-amping, that is a different story.  What is your equipment? This can help. There is a place under your UserID to put ... | |
| Need advice @jjss49  +1  Always the first place to start, most likely. With Audio Research gear I don’t tube roll. I’d get a brand replacement or similar. But that is me. | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. @magnuman … “sorry to tell you that you don't know what you're talking about just because the system costs $160,000 doesn't mean it's going to sound better than an $80,000 system ” Sorry you did not read my post. I did not say you can randomly pi... | |
| Linn LP12 Cirkus baring I have a contemporary LP12 with the Karousel Bearing. I would say, if you can get good money for a Cirkus… I would do it. Get a Karousel… it is a significantly better bearing.  I can say, with the upgrades in the last dozen or so years the Linn... | |
| Pass INT-25 better than Wilsenton R8? @carlsbad2Â Â +1 | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. Your budget is good to get a great sounding system. Given your circumstances I would recommend starting from scratch… forget what you used to like. Use all the experience you gained on sound quality and components and start over.  I would start... | |
| Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music Yep, that is the destination. Took me 45 years of research and investment… but I am there also. I get lost in the music. | |
| Subs for SF Amati Oh, no question Sonus Faber Gravis VI. How could one even think of something else? Made to integrate with SF Amati… in violin red!  While I bought the Amati’s for the sound… they are so beautiful… so are the subs. | |
| user poll on seperates vs integrated Integrated amps have changed a lot in the last ten years, they have gotten a lot better. The $10K range is the real sweet spot in them. I have recently auditioned the Pass Int-60 (?), Luxman 509, and Audio Research I-50. $10K, $10K, $6K. They all ... |
