| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? chakster All good info that I did not know since I am not a musician and don't listen to classical music. I have never felt the need for, nor have I missed having a pitch control. Apparently, I'm not the only TT user who feels that way, otherwi... | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? I recently upgraded to a Technics 1500C and It's definitely my forever TT. Everything there is to love about a Technics TT minus all the DJ foofaraws. Rock solid at all three speeds with end of play arm lift, and sounds fantastic with a Ortofon 2M... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" numbered, limited edition, Original Master Recording, 45 rpm. So fine! | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? One more plug for Vincent. Read all the reviews you can find. Surprisingly, there aren't that many. One thing you'll notice, and the reason that convinced me to buy the SV-237MK, is that there were no bad reviews of it. Most reviewers did the usua... | |
| Amp recommendations Try to fix what you have first, and if that works out, do as others have suggested and get speakers that are more tube friendly. Keep in mind that tubes love high efficiency speakers and horns. Hint...anything in the Klipsch Heritage series. | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? Well, duh to me! Where does Jolida come from?! Anyhoo, it's still good stuff. | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? Also to soundchasr; Don't limit your search by excluding chifi equipment. There is some surprisingly good stuff coming from China lately. Before I bought my Crimson 275, I bought a Chinese made integrated tube amp to see if I really wanted to get ... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? soundchasr;The tubes on my SV-237MK are NOT soldered in place, nor were they on the SA-T7. I am not aware of any of their current production equipment having that decidedly unattractive fault! As to price, keep a regular eye on Audio Advisor's sit... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? You seem to be forgetting that those big output tubes have smaller tubes driving them. Those smaller tubes CAN sound harsh and pass that harshness on to the output tubes. I find that it is mostly the new production tubes that can impart harshness,... | |
| Should I got full tubes or stick with hybrid amps? Tone controls can be the real stumbling block since, for some un-fathomable reason, most designers have decided they are no longer required. Another factor is the type of sound you are looking for. You've stated that you don't like fatiguing highs... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? Of course, it goes without saying that the amp will lend it's own voice to the mix, but let's face it, mostly what it is doing is working with what is fed to it. I'll give you a real life scenario. I recently completed a major overhaul of my syste... | |
| Cables 101, new student, first question My cable of choice is Pangea, specifically the Audio Premier SE series. I like their build quality and their appearance. Their less pricey Audio Prime series are just as well built and just as nice looking and sounding. | |
| Cables 101, new student, first question Been doing this audiophile thing for a long time. Regardless of price, I like having all my cabling made by the same manufacturer. I consider that more important than price. Do your research, read the reviews, paying attention to the quality of co... | |
| Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS USPS delivered my new headshell to a wrong address and couldn't get it back. Eight more days before I can even file on that one. Had some wire shipped from Ohio to eastern TN, Priority Mail; Somehow it ended up in MS and sat there for 5 days befor... | |
