| Most beautiful turntable under $5k @jemmer01 OK, that is a seriously beautiful turntable, particularly with the top down. I looked at some close ups and the fit and finish isn’t overwhelming. Kind of like a Hollywood star… drop dead gorgeous at a distance. In the past what... | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? @immatthewj 👍 it is a big eye opener. | |
| COMPARISON SONUS FABER AMATI VS IL CREMONESE. Thank you Craig. Great review and comparison. I own Amati Traditional. I love them. What you observe is the kind of differences I am used to observing between the model levels. Such listening sessions are fantastic to calibrate one to sound / cost... | |
| new cd player I currently have a Audio Research Reference CD9SE as my DAC. It is a tubed CD player / DAC. It is the best sounding DAC I have heard. I don’t bother listening to CDs any more as streaming sounds as good, usually better although I own 2,000 CDs. H... | |
| DAC`S I own a Audio Research Reference CD9SE which I use for its DAC. I have compared it in my system directly with a new $22K Berkeley Reference Alpha 3. The sonic differences were absolutely minuscule… but when under real detailed analysis I preferred... | |
| Subwoofer between speakers? No actually a sub between the speakers is good. Here is a more detailed and technical explaination: | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? @dgluke Thank you for that insightful post. | |

I own a Aurender N100, and a W20SE. I owned a Aurlic Aries G2 and auditioned an Aurender N10. Each step up the Aurender line is an inc... | |
| Opinions of Onkyo P-3000R phono preamp OP, By the way I have a Violectric … I think it is a V281… I had to import it from Germany. This unit has enough current to power a set of Denton flagship headphones. I used it a few times and gave it to my partner for listening to tv at night whe... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. @skyscraper Tell us what you do and how it works out. You have piqued my interest. While, I said, not something I would do… interested in the outcome. | |
| Check this system out! Yes, high end audio component storage, beautifully decorated. I just can;t imagine how great it could sound in an appropriate listening space. | |
| Flagship product to build around It is very hard to argue with speakers. But I would start with a preamp. The heart and sole of a great system. For me it would be an Audio Research Reference preamp. Outstanding preamps come from Conrad Johnson, and VAC and a few others. (My syste... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Just a note, professional studio monitors and that ilk have a different set of design parameters entirely. Near field and hear all the details. A novice audiophile is frequently seduced by details and slam at the expense of musicality. More e... |
