| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Cottguy, I would not rush with the turntable. I believe that the source should always be a strong link in the chain. If you get VAC Avatar and Vandersteen 3 Sig. it is highly unlikely that you will be satisfied with any $1000 table/arm/cartridge p... | |
| When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly? Anyway, Pear Audio tables/arms, Atma-Sphere amps, Classic Audio speakers, Purist Audio cables and probably Pear Audio electronics too are most definitely worth auditioning. Simple, isn't it? Just add a cartridge and you'll be fine. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines No it would be mine ! | |
| When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly? Another example. Go to Purist Audio Design cables webside, there are some videos of systems's demo. You can hear clearly that those Tidal speakers and electronics are inerior to Classic Aidio/Atma-Sphere system, even though the Tidal system has a ... | |
| When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly? We'll leave it at that - there are seemengly no solutions. Except that one may try all possible combinations in one's system in the hope of finding subjectively the best one. Funny, isn't it? A few days ago, I was listening to the advertising vide... | |
| When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly? So John, what do you suggest? | |
| When will we ever hear turntables demoed fairly? Still, we should be able to compare a few table/arm/cartridge set-ups with the same amp/speakers and comparable if not necessarily the same phono stages. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Cottguy, VAC Avatar is a very rare find. I heard that the company is great to deal with. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Cottguy, if you do take a risk and decide to buy used here, there is an older VAC Avatar integrated with phono stage. This would be my choice. VAC is a top level company, you cannot compare it to mass-market Rogue. If you do get it, don't rush wit... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines That's what tubes are for, like candles, to be replaced with another set. | |
| Wavac Audio amps Sunnyboy1956, what did you compare it to and what speakers and cables do you use with it ? | |
| Gryphon Vitus Gamut Melbguy1, thank you, I think I got an idea. It appears that though I am sure I would like them both, I would probably slightly prefer Gryphon sound. But it's a guess of mine. Would be interested in either integrated or older Gryphon separates incl... | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines I took a quick look, and it appears that within this price range there is nothing with phono stage and decent power except Rogue.Does anyone know anything about Icon Audio or Cayin ? But no phono stage and less power.than Rogue Cronus Magnum. Rogu... | |
| Durand record weight ha ha ha ha - and other crazy thing Right. We are only interested in the performance of that thing. | |
| Finally stepping into the hobby after 30 years of watching from the sidelines Hifiman5, people who started the thread. To experience tube sound fully you need tube power amp not only tube preamp.Choice of dealers is important but not the most important and certainly not in the very beginning. |
