| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? @whart don't try to be polite, feel free to lecture me. After all you spent a gazillion dollars on your rig, and I am ignorant because I did not (for two reasons, one is lack of $$$). I'd be so happy to learn from you. But let's leave cars out ... | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? they bought the Bugatti name that was dead for 50 years, hard to say what's real | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? I don’t know how you would step UP from the Steelhead? It’s 10 grand. It’s as good as it gets. It’s pretty much the Bugatti Chiron of phono stages. You can go sideways or down. Looking at your system, you would benefit more from different speakers... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? I never tried REL but an SVS micro and it was a mess in my system. Maybe more expensive models work great. | |
| Fee for home audition my closest "friendly dealer lets it out Saturday afternoon and expects it back Monday morning. No charge, just a copy of the driver’s license. I couldn’t imagine it in many countries. You would be charged to listen to it in the store. | |

| Small, Effective Subwoofers? @navyachts the wife's happiness, feng shui and sound quality are competing concepts, or zero sum game :) With that lovely view, I wouldn't be in a hurry to move. | |
| Small, Effective Subwoofers? " your room isn’t useable for serious listening" if you pull the curtains, move the sofa by the kitchen back 4 feet (temporarily, when you are "in session") you'd be fine. I'd move both speakers to the right, towards the kitchen 10" or so, until ... | |
| Small, Effective Subwoofers? @navyachts I should add, I tried base models, I had a very small budget. Based on your speakers I think you want to add bass that's already there and not bass that's missing. So in some sense, your subs will be competing, unless you set the c... | |
| Heading to London - Hifi Store/Record Shop Recommendations? A walked the zebra 30 times back and forth, caused a little traffic jam for sure | |
| Small, Effective Subwoofers? I tried SVS, Klipsch, ELAC 10" subs, with no convincing results. I ended up with the Martin Logan Dynamo 700 | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Steven Guttenberg seems to live in a CVS breakroom's storage closet. And may I repeat the nth time: so many audiophiles have the most "amazing" furniture and decoration worth 10s of dollars at a swap meet surrounding their 50+K equipment. | |
