| Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist? I have the Quicksilver (non remote 12AT7 version) and like it. I haven't had anything else to compare it to save for a Schiit SYS (passive). Mike at Quicksilver rewired the tape (fixed) outs to make them variable to run subs for me. Its my first p... | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 I can probably stretch my budget a bit if its wirth it. I freely admit the Herron would be a great pickup. Decware ZP3 but thats like a year + wait. My research on the ZP3 seems like a no brainer. MM only, and the reviews and such all point to a s... | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 @sandthemall please do. I have been eyeing that one but the gain and cap is high for me and I don't know if it matters that much | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 @herbreichert I've heard the bass is soft and its an overly fast amp. DO you agree with this? I had looked into this earlier and something turned me off to it but I don't recall what it was exactly. Possibly the gain. | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 Anyone heard the Aurorasound Vida? Rothwell Rialto? just curious | |
| Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200 I mean, if I can find a Herron at $2200 I would probably go for it. I really only need the MM section anyway. There's one on the 'bay for $2k but it looks kind of rough and the seller can't guarantee it works. | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions $2000 (pre-rabbit hole tire kicking edition) The Soundsmith seems appealing. While not sexy its built by people who build cartridges. Ive also been looking at the Rothwell, Don Sachs and a couiple others. I was going to go Decware but the wait times are hilariously long. | |
| Dustcover Blues 20hz doubtful | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD Harbeth is vastly overpriced. Thgeir crossover bares this out. | |
| I did the right thing after all. The Wilson speakers I’ve heard were ok. Nothing special and especially nothing to warrant the hilarious prices they ask for them. The guy who runs Tekton seems like a jackass but I’ve yet to hear a speaker they make that didnt at least raise an ey... | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? the only thing heavy metal doesn't benefit from are republicans. | |
| Top 3 songs to evaluate a system Gene Ammons "Hittin’ The Jug" (Bass texture, sax resonance, soundstage depth and image placement)Skinny Puppy "Knowhere" (dense mix, bass organization)M83 "Outro" (if it can make tears, its good) | |
| Observation: Passion vs Obsession Too many fake engineers passing judgement on others while spouting hilariously stupid "facts" | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? A whole thread explaining metal to republicans. Gonna be sick | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? Just as much as the sleepy garbage the vast majority here claim to like. 100% sure the music is secondary to the hardware though.very kind of the op to make a thread to trash music they don't like. |
