| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... buying a speaker or amp or DAC used seems to be pretty safe. But I would not buy a used (more than 6-8 months old) turntable or CD player. | |
| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup I would not worry about the phono stage. If it's no match for the new TT, you will start looking for one anyway. How do you like the looks of the SOTA Sapphire? | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare @rvpiano pretty awesome system you have. It's perfectly understandable if it's a pain and not as pleasant as it used to be. I hope the technician will work out though | |
| Connecting Sub to my preamp @knotscott thank you, that's perfect, I am learning a lot | |
| Connecting Sub to my preamp @knotscott I definitely want to follow what you are saying. What is your sub? What are low and high level inputs on the sub? On my current sub I don't even have speaker inputs. | |
| Advice for a new analog system @rauliruegas thanks! That's awesome. Sounds like for tonearm/inch, the 12" is a significantly better deal. I will start saving for the 36" one | |
| Connecting Sub to my preamp I tried the Klipsch KSW10 and it did not work at all for me. I used the Pre Amp out as my only option on my amplifier. Maybe you’d need to use the Passive Out on your preamp? Since these subs have their own amp, I would not use the speaker termi... | |
| Advice for a new analog system " that tonearm is around 55K" not a typo, right? | |
| Budget tower speakers that rock! The $800 Klipsch speakers will fill up the space and sound balanced and may please your ears. I found them dull, compared to smaller, more musical speakers Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-280F | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... @lohanimal good analogy, thank you. | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... I think what I am trying to say: it's not an Olympic event where winning is everything and pouring millions into Michael Phelps' diet will pay off by that .1 seconds at the end. It's just a bunch of decent components that will (should) do their p... | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... reading some of the comments, I really started to wonder how much difference the phono stage will make. My understanding from what I am reading is that it yields the littlest gain in the chain (say: 5K on a phone stage, 5K on a TT vs. 2K phono sta... | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... @cainullah btw I have an AVID pricelist which can be helpful as the web site is not the easiest to figure out | |
| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home @hilde45 then buying the audio store and living in it is what? Copy-Paste? :) | |
| Advice for a new analog system @kennyc right. Let's say Rega P6 and P10. The quality difference between the sound of those must be substantial. I also give credit for looks and reliability, ease of use, user experience |
