| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge I like the sound of Goldring carts. I have an Eroica XL MC cart on my P3 in the basement, I enjoy it. My Main system is the Ethos. I am looking to upgrade that to the New Ethos Se cart. | |
| inakustik cables I wanted to buy a set of cables, Robert simply told me my system wasn't worth those cables.. I ended up buying Wireworld Silver eclipse 8 cables. | |
| Cable elevators I use soft sponge hockey pucks. | |
| DAC Suggestions I have 2 systems and 2 great DACS, I have an Aqua La Voce , and the Saturn Audio Dac. they are both around $4K and sound equal, both great Dacs. | |
| DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system Look at the Ifi Neo dac with upgraded power supply. Amazing little dac for $1100.00 I have one out on my garage system. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp circuit. 10/2 or 10/3? I have a pair of class A mono blocks, I ran one 12/2 conductor twenty amp circuit to a Cardas 4181 receptacle. From the wall the power cord goes to the power conditioner, then all my gear plugs into the PC. Running full load with some volume, I am... | |
| Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated Take a look at Sugden,Masterclass series. I have been completely satisfied with their amps. My main system has had the SPA-4 power amp and LA-4 pre amp. I sold the power amp, and bought a pair of Sugden MPA-4 mono blocks. I am not ever giving them... | |
| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. Depending on what you have for a phono stage now, upgrade the cart to an MC as long as the current phon stage can accept it. Start slow. Then upgrade to a better phono stage. I have been told the cart is more noticeable than the phono stage. I hav... | |

| Hegel comparison What Are you running for speakers? I demoed a Hegel 190, and found it to be dull and flat. just my opinion. Do a live demo. | |
| Finally upgrading my amp Look at a Sugden A21 SE Pure class A amp, you will love it. | |
| Looking for Sub to pair with Dynaudio Confidence 20s My Room is 13 x 19 I have had the confidence 20 speakers, and there was no need for a sub base. My room has a big picture window, hardwood floors with area rug. I also have some good room treatments. Very nice fast bold bass. Not sure what you hav... | |
| power conditioners in $3000 to $5000 range Old thread, thought I would chime in. I have a Saturn PC with 3 rows of capacitor boards. I removed all the #14 wire, and replaced it with #10 Wire. I also removed the Hubble receptacles and installed all Cardas Audio 4181 Plugs. That changed the ... | |
| Luxman leaves me wanting You have some good gear. the only thing I can think of, is the Amp and speakers are not a good pairing. My sudden Class A amps pair well with Dynaudio and Capriccio Continuo speakers. I have 2 systems, the main floor has always supported Dynaudio ... |
