| My recent experience with 3 pre-amps - help me pinpoint the next upgrade. Some of the most enjoyable music was with a system i had with a Cary SLP 93 preamp, Cary SLM 100 mono blocks (100wpc) and ProAc response 2.5's. Probably 9 years ago now when I had all that. Proac's and tube just seem to gel the best imo. You shoul... | |
| Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions For tubes I tent to avoided E-bay sellers and stick to the larger internet-shops like the Tube store and various other large tube sellers also local audio shops. I find you usually get good quality, reputable people and a return policy that actual... | |
| Mac vs PC... Is Mac really better? & better audio experience out of your PC??????? Neither is better then the other. the biggest issues is what format will either play here Mac’s seem to lag slightly behind, being tied to Apple’s software. It boils down to what are you comfortable using and what level of quality do you want. AFF... | |
| Is the grass greener on the other side? Another thing to consider is Audio Shops in your area go listen to other systems, also inquire about audio clubs. for example I'm just north of you across the boarder and we have a group that regularly meets ( we meet every Sunday) to chat about m... | |
| Yagin: does anybody have any thoughts on Yagin? Never herd of them? Chinese made CD player not sure on the quality they used to be iffy there. In the end why buy a CD player at all why not take this time in your audio growth to go spinner 'less and get something like a Bluesound vault 2i. this would eliminate the ... | |
| Three weeks with Omega SAM's Just an update, After some more time and moving them around more I found a very good compromise for sound stage and fullness in the midrange. they seem to work best a little closer to the front wall then other speakers I've owned. when I moved the... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K I also loved the +proac’s I used to run them with tubes as well Other options that come to mind are AudioNote ANE’s, Living Voice Avatar IBX own a pair and run them with 8wpc they are sublime if you have the room for them to breath think 36" min f... | |
| Integrated w/phono but no DAC I'm thinking you should look at a vintage restored receiver. Marantz, Luxman, Sansui, Accuphase etc. all made full featured receivers that are quite good if you get one that has been recapped. Late model Luxman's and Sansui's from the late 70-earl... | |
| Best 6x9 Speakers sorry no offence but we have been seeing much spam recently on this form. | |
| Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations I think honestly power conditioning as lowrider mentions is not going to be your best budget spending option and you should really focus on the bigger improvements for your system at the level you are now. before spending $1000's on power conditio... | |
| Best 6x9 Speakers what ever came in the car seriously this is a home audio form why are you posting this here. or are you another of the recent spam posts? Sign up today post some nonsense with a link to a sight that's not related? | |
| Vinyl System Upgrade Path Recommendations I would say other then clean records your next step may be a better cart, the AT isn't bad for a starter cart (sub $100) but moving up to a better fixed styli's cart will open up your musical enjoyment, also try to find a tip profile that like a m... | |
| Upgrading preamp and phono I'd like to add a recommendation to you even though finding a used one may be hard, but new is not out of your price range either. I've been extremely happy with the build quality and performance of my Finale Audio-Triode labs integrated and highl... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers are you handy and can you assemble something fairly easy? then maybe a kit speakers is for you. i was thinking about entry level speakers and one thought is to build your own out of a kit. I'm talking a kit with precut cabinets so a little glue an... | |
| Have you ever downgraded deliberately? i've had to down size due to moving a lot, smaller spaces, financial reasons when my daughter got into an expensive university. every time it was a rebuild but with age comes experience and I've found satisfying music in all sorts of price points ... |
