| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? Right, I heard him make that comment about the superiority (to him) of analog, and I know there are people on both sides of this question.To avoid the which is better debate, I am trying to delimit it to his price range for the central gear. As I ... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @lalI need to double check models, but he has, I think, MA352 Integrated and Spendor D7s. | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @millercarbon No change of meaning. I said he "wants to finish out the main elements of the system" and has "$4-6k to spend...on either a phono stage/TT combo OR a DAC/streamer combo." The qualifier "excluding" was meant to convey that the core of... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? My friend inclines towards pop, rock, classical, and jazz.I’m hoping to keep some factors outside the core question -- excluding cost, availability of content, fussiness or convenience, etc. He has funds for those things and has time. He considers... | |

| Visual Confirmation Bias The most deceptive pair of speakers I've tried are Fritz's Carbon 7. They look like his other speakers -- like a simple box. But they disappeared unlike any other speaker I've tried. I like the tonality and character of my Salks better, but they d... | |
| Equal $$ for Phono OR Streaming? @testpilot Good answer to the question, "What should he do while waiting for answers on the forum." | |
| Tube amp/ pre amp. You're most welcome, and thank you for the kind words. A bit more for you. TMR allows 14 day trial for used gear and is worth considering. I went to the "integrated amp" section, organized results by price ascending, and then searched for gear wit... | |
| Best integrated for my purposes - help me choose 1 of 3! Ah, my favorite song is coming on again. It goes, "Raven Raven Raven, Tekton Tekton Tekton, Raven Raven Raven, Tekton Tekton Tekton." | |
| Greatest Audiogon Audiophiles ever and the GOAT @chandybe Thanks, and very funny. I love "manechoic cave." Definition: Where men go to scream into the void. (In space, no one can hear you scream.) | |
