| Analog upgrade path I know almost nothing about cartridges but I do know that Goldring 1042 sounds quite good with Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm and Acoustech PH-1 phono stage. I am sure there are better MM cartridges, both vintage and modern, but for the price new i... | |
| Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund? Dump the amp, the speakers and the dealer. Wrong direction. Start anew. | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. That's good, the turntable. | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? You can't listen to poorly recorded jazz, you can well-recorded jazz. I tried many times and failed, I can't listen to jazz at all any more. But Like Bill I used to be able to. Those guys are in the endless search of the right notes. Some jazzrock... | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. Got another pair of Wywires Diamond RCAs used a few days ago. These cables outperformed Purist Audio Neptune in my system. No plans to buy anything else for at least a few months. | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Orpheus10, I don't have such a hearing as you imply, but my ear is quite sensitive to some aspects of a sound. Let's not transform this thread into tubes/transistors debate. Sure, ultimately tubes rule.That's what we are trying to talk about - des... | |
| Borrowing equipment from dealers That's incredible. Not a single dealer to borrow equipment from in NYC. | |

| One Cord To Rule Them All I experimented a little with power cords for PS Audio Premier regenerator.In descending order: older Purist Audio Dominus Ferox - best. Unfortunately I need it for the power amp. Then Purist Audio Aquila, Wywires Silver Digital, Custom Power Cord ... | |
| Do you have a "Music" Friend? I don't want anyone to listen together with me. This is personal experience. Background listening is completely the opposite - I don't want to listen alone. | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? I like equipment that gives me good sound, other than that I only like tape decks. I don't think that liking good sound and liking good music are always in conflict. They can be but not necessarily so.Old Levinson ML-2 class A amp is a dream piece. | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? I can design a horrendous class whatever amp too. That's not the point. No, design is a lot but it is not everything. There are limits of what is possible.Orpheus10, there are great SS preamps, they are expensive and one can probably do better wit... | |
| members and their systems Spending a lot on fishing, hunting, biking, automotive gear is understood and considered normal. Big spending on audio equipment sounds idiotic to many, when in fact it is all quite idiotic. Unless, of course, you have nothing better to do. Then i... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Why would women want audiophiles when there are better men ? |
