| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge I'm not that knowledgeable but Clearaudio has a well-regarded series of MM cartridges that may be considered. I have the Maestro and it is super dynamic and fun to listen to. | |
| Good choice for 20' XLR cable? I've been very satisfied with Benchmark Media cables. Worth checking out. $153 for a pair of XLR cables, 25 feet. I'm using their XLR interconnects and speaker cables. Benchmark Studio&Stage™ StarQuad XLR Cable for Analog Audio - Benchmark M... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” So I second the suggestion that the Marantz PM-10 could do the trick. I'm currently breaking one in. It is driving New Legacy Signature SEs. It's a great Amp, imo. Sounding better with every hour. Analog only, dual mono, fully balanced. And acoust... | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? Heartily endorse Radio Paradise. Good for both finding new stuff and just listening, period. | |
| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget I'd offer a couple of suggestions. Maybe buy new so you can get plenty of audition time and return speakers that don't do it for you.

| Alta Alec vs Legacy Signature SE vs Elac Vela 408.2 Thanks. One of my objectives is to get the HF clarity of my Elacs (I made a mistake above, they are 403s the bookshelf not 407s, that I play in my kitchen) or better in a tower speaker for my main listening room. Dave and Troy distinguished the Al... | |
| Alta Alec vs Legacy Signature SE vs Elac Vela 408.2 Great input from all. Every time I think I've decided, I'm pulled back onto the fence. lol That said, I'm currently leaning toward the Alecs. Everything I read or hear suggests they are somewhat different, or maybe the better word is special, in ... | |
| Alta Alec vs Legacy Signature SE vs Elac Vela 408.2 Thanks winoguy! Very helpful. Big is a relative term of course. My Revels are about 40 inches tall vs the Signature SEs that are 8 inches taller. Two things for me. One is handling them - I'll need help to get them in the house and, unlikely but n... | |
| Legacy Signature SE Thanks. Helpful. I do have a SS power amp, NAD C298, 340 watts per channel into 4 ohms, sitting idle (a second one is in use). Might this be a better match? Or at least worth a try? When I switched from the NAD to the PL in my existing setup, I di... | |
| Legacy Signature SE I plan on using my Prima Luna Dialogue tube power amp. 44 watts in ultra-linear mode. Thoughts? |
