| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 I have Silver in my second system that works well with Burson DAC. My main system is analogue only and there I have two pairs of Wywires Diamond interconnects. Great cables. I used to have Platinum interconnects and Purist Audio Neptune, upgraded ... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD I think that matching speakers and amps is more complicated. General idea is to bring the best out of the speakers not really trying to compensate for their possible shortcomings or/and hide them. In the above example, Accuphase might be more in t... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD I would compare Accuphase both class A and class AB to Gryphon Diablo 120 with your speakers. All might sound excellent but very different. | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... That's the problem with many people in general and audiophiles in particular - they make too many assumptions instead of experiencing things. Another problem with some audiophiles is that their hearing is not really good, so they simply can't hea... | |
| Design an entire system for $800? ? This is audiophile forum not bargain hunting bazaar. $800 new is the price of one pair of decent interconnect cables or a power cord. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? 1. Miles Davis - Bitches Brew 2. Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame 3. Al di Meola - Cielo e Terra | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 I will mention Wywires cables. Platinum should be more than enough, $540 for 4 feet. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Live music played in an acoustically lousy concert hall is a poor reference. Studer can be a much better one for our purposes. Digital is not a reference at all. This is a good thread to call others names and start a class war in the process. A... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Yeah, $12k cartridge would normally mean $100k front end, including phono stage, tonearm cable and power cords. So it's $250k-$300k for the entire system. Hell, you can still buy a house for this kind of money. Sorry, couldn't help it. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Still, isn't it remarkable that whatever the analogue front end, nothing so far seems to be able to extract everything there is out of the groove ? Is it the same situation with the tape ? | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Not my set-up, unfortunately, Kharma/Lamm SET deliver super performance. Kharma is medium efficient, I think. | |
| Does upgrading you system have to be on a logarithmic curve? There is no great sound to be found for under $100k or so, speaking new suggested prices. So unless you can and want to do that just enjoy your system as it is. And I am talking one source system. However, if you must keep upgrading as most of us,... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? Bass gives a foundation. This is a very big disadvantage of high efficiency design. Not to mention that many just don't tolerate horns. Anyway, it's amp-speakers unit in a particular room, right. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Forgive me for this. Do you cartridge guys think that Nagaoka MP-500 would be a significant step up from Goldring 1042 ? Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm and Acoustech phono stage. | |
| How many plays can you get out of a good record? Exactly. About mistracking. |
