| Tube based phono stage Reach out to Modwright. I had questions and they answered everything I could ask. Great people and you can tell the people working there have respect for Dan and Dan has respect for them. They'll even let you do an in home demo if you pay for ship... | |
| Tube based phono stage Completely back thea Manley Chinook. I just got one and it blows the wheels off my Musical Surroundings Nova III. No comparison. And absolutely silent. | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono Thanks to both @firenze and @jmeyers for the responses. I've decide to go all tube and jump to the Chinook original. Fan-f'n-tastic upgrade over my Nova III. Like night and a day improvement. I definitely gained a ton at twice the price. Still con... | |
| FEX EX Damaged New Legacy's I spoke to a FedEx driver delivering my Sopra's a few months back. He said they are so short staffed at the loading docks that drivers are having to load their own trucks right now. Pretty insane times. | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. What have I started!?! | |
| The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth. Did he go further than Branson? Neil Degrasse Tyson broke it down to, Branson didn't go into space. | |
| Sopra 2 Bass You're getting a lot of good info here. If they haven't broken in yet, it will take some time to develop. My Sopra 2's have finally locked in. Positioning is important too and I find myself repositioning them every so often to check myself as well... | |
| Considerations prior to your next purchase Windows rolled down while driving really destroys hearing? | |
| Why has focal raised their prices so much on Sopra line Sopra's price increased before covid, for all you justifying their actions with your "shipping" and "material costs" theories, which isn't remotely true. They bought a distribution company and as a corporation, instead of saddling the costs and in... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono @firenze please keep us in the loop. I haven't decided if I'm going modwright or ps audio! | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? @russ69 I actually updated my profile after I thought about it. I'm still thinking the bigge changes will probably come from my table or phono so I'll be starting there before the PL. | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? @tablejockey I'd be interested in doing a pool for gear. We should get some people together so we can all experiment and try gear. Let's start with the Hagerman. | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? @johnss I've considered the Chinook, but I've seen many reports of noise, picking up fm signals and more selling them than keeping them. I'm hoping a Modwright will alleviate all of that and it will be a keeper. We'll see where I go from here I gu... | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? @tablejockey I'm almost sitting on them. 46" from front wall and 25" from side walls. Bass is slightly boomy, but bass traps eventually. So cost isn't always a factor, and maybe not within someone's "taste", but at this level it isn't indictive of... | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? @tomic601 very small 9 x 13 x 8 ft room. Two diy acoustic panels made from rockwool and burlap. It sure ain't no Gik, but it seems to help. Isolation is a good call. All components are on a solid steel rack. I guess it couldn't hurt to try some is... |
