Stroboscopic disk sets wrong speed for turntable? If your using a north American 60hz strobe disc just use an incandescent light bulb for your light source. if you have a 50hz disc then that could be your issue. That's all the lights are for built in speed control on record players that have that... | |
Opinions On The Following Phono Pre Amps Please In those ruff price ranges I would also consider an Allnic (used or used), a Gold Note PH10, Manley chinook. All highly regarded. Also all have great adjustability. I’ve only heard one of the above, the EAR, and wasn’t a contender to the above IMO. | |
Best courier for transport from the US to Europe Denmark I sent a turntable to Norway last year and it was silly the shipping cost if you want it in less then a week. If you can wait ship via land-sea it will take longer but less money by far. | |
Anthem STR vs Parasound JC 2 BP vs any other sub $5,000 Preamp? I've heard the STR integrated and the Lyndorf both in the same room and both are very good specially after the room correction software has had its go. Actually really surprised me to be honest how well it works. I've had serious thought about dum... | |
Vinyl***What If*** Seriously do like one other mention buy an entry level Project or Rega and have some fun! We need more people into vinyl. Also don’t think you cannot have some good fun with that set up, as you defiantly can. some good points from the rest but I ... | |
How much power is too much power. how about 20,000 watts I know silly really, I wondered how they power it to get that much power out. Ok I know its not really putting out that much, I've seen power amps for radio broadcasting and they are huge and require a lot of cooling and input power. | |
Newbie questions - Seeking a streamer with the right features - I'm confused! If you have a NAS already get a dedicated streamer as mentioned above for your hi fi rig. Then get another device like a sonos for your other room both can access the same NAS if networked together. That way they are separated and you could poteti... | |
Why price of Tannoy speakers from online retailers in UK is cheaper than in US I feel this is the number one reason you see audio companies starting to direct sell so there is not the middle man taking a cut. This lowers their prices 15-30% across the board. the distributor is a love hate relationship. Love the overseas prod... | |
choice between integrated dac amp vs non integrated I had a full Naim separates system a few years ago just could not get into their sound always dry and lifeless IMO. Sure the PRAT but boring. I went back to Tubes, but I have heard some great SS as well mostly Class A. I have heard a Lyngdorf i... | |
choice between integrated dac amp vs non integrated Have you had Naim Gear in your system before? Its got a sound all to its own and not everyone likes it so listen before buying, also consider all the dedicated wires (DIN) and power supply's you'll need. Nothing in the Naim world works well with o... | |
Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? also consider if a double album is one or two records as that will effect your outcome. also jacket thickness to some degree. | |
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100? I also think highly of the Sansui Tuners. well I do have a upgraded TU 717. If I could afford any tuner it would be the Sansui TU X1 I've heard one once and have been lusting after one since but they go for stupid money now. Kenwood tuners are wor... | |
Cary SLI 80 crumped I went from early Cary gear (slp94 and slm 100 mono's) to a Naim system and music died in my life, don't go that way if you like the Cary's you wont be happy with the Naim gear in my experience, totally different sounds. Luxman on the other hand w... | |
Where to hear ATC speakers For your Thiels I would look for a local tech to look at them, really no reason to send them half way across the country for another tech. If you are just trying to repair them any competent tech can change a failed part. I'd imagine there are qui... | |
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! Anyone know what the quality of AC coming out of the Yeti is like? all good to have a power generator but if its as dirty as the wall why bother? |
