| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Did youtube listening to the Concerto. I can hear excellent flow coherence and pace. Worth auditioning, no doubt. I would need analog source and more powerful amp to push them a little. | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? If lucky less, if not so lucky more, but I would say that $20k integrated with dac and phono and even without them would require at least $2k power cord. Gryphon people themselves consider power cord an important element. I would try three brands ... | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. Not with amps but actually I was doing it for some time with two pair of very different interconnects, Purist Neptune fluid and Tchernov Audio Reference MK II. Neptune won but I use the Tchernov with tape deck. | |
| Stage III Concepts Cables - Any Advice/Feedback/Thoughts is deeply appreciated. Here is an audiophile idea close to the extreme. One pair of speakers, three integrated amps for different music and/or mood. Soulution 530, Gryphon Diablo 300 and Ypsilon Phaethon. Cabling as needed.I like your electrical plan, should be excellent. | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Thank you but no, this doesn't look like audiophile speakers. You may fly out of your pants when fire them up but that is irrelevant. Still, would be interesting to audition them, no need for 2" tape, though, 1/4 inch tape would be enough or even ... | |
| Turntable options Oh it's $10k cartridge, but I was close. Picasso is junk. | |
| Turntable options A little, Bill, a little. Horns.Anyway, yes, table itself first, no doubt. But it can't play all by itself. Vinyl is a pain. | |
| Turntable options Steelhead if you stay with Manley, Allnic that Bill uses if you want to go higher. Good things do cost money, Rome wasn't built for free either. There are other phono stages, though, including Pass.I think, you need a table with a strong drive. Bi... | |
| Turntable options Because that Manley is entry level and $12k - $15K table/arm/cartridge are not. Very generally speaking, especially because higher end MC cartridges are so overpriced, phono stage should cost at least 1.5-2 times more than cartridge. Phono stage i... | |
| Turntable options Your phono stage will be inadequate for the level you are aiming at.I'll just mention some other brands: SME, TW Akustic, Nottingham, Pear Audio, VPI.Not everyone's, of course, not mine either, but SME is always an excellent choice, and they have ... | |
| Dealer Behavior You have to buy their attitude, that’s to pay, though with some people it won’t work either. Get something from them for $5k-$10K and then you might be worth a little to them. It is all commodity, starting with both sellers and buyers. I can’t bla... | |
| Turntable options Without knowing the rest of your system, your music and sound preferences, it is impossible to recommend anything. The only thing that can be recommended at this point is to audition them all. However, you would need to know which in the chain con... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Exactly. It's a bloody expensive coffee. And that's only one cup a day.Just couple of weeks ago I had to buy two new Maxell Vertex blank cassette tapes for my Nakamichi, $129 each. Now that's expensive, but there is no substitute. I'll save a lot ... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? How is discontinued Gryphon Atlantis ? There is a demo pair from the UK for $17k plus $1k shipping on ebay. Any takers ? Can't do it myself, I am about $15k short on funds at the moment. | |
| Trained ears. What is complex is to tune the system like an instrument. You have a few components working together that must become the one. This does require experience and some knowledge in addition to hearing. And don't forget the room - it is probably the m... |
