| How do you know what your weakest link is? @russ69 I should probably set up my virtual system on here. Either way: Focal Sopra 2's, Clearaudio Concept Wood, Hana ML, musical surroundings nova III, linear power supply, Primaluna Dialogue Premium pre with Shunyata Venom V12, Primaluna Dialo... | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? @tablejockey I had a dealer tell me there isn't going to be a major step forward going from my $1500 Nova III to the Modwright 9.0/x. At double/triple the pricepoint from 9.0/x how can this be? Anyone else please feel free to help educate me. I ma... | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? @petg60 thanks for the insight as always. I may have a decent phonostage as I'm guessing and a table/arm upgrade may be in the cards. I refuse to get rid of my Hana ML though as I love this cart. | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? When did you know your gear started to outclass itself? At this point I'm purely judging on cost. Are there any other indicators I should be looking at? | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? Thanks for your thoughtful contribution to the betterment of hifi and audigon. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up Kat at Upscale gave me the idea and it was definitely a move forward for my 10x14 small room. I'll definitely be trying kt88's. El34's have me very curious as well, but I'm not sure how well the Sopra's will respond to them being lower output. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @viridian yeah I'm definitely staying away from that so I don't buy Boulder or Dartzeel gear | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up I meant to say KT150's originally and changed to KT120's really tamed down the extension and softened things a bit. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @tablejockey definitely very true and honest. Very strong upgrade, but not groundbreaking. Can it honestly be groundbreaking from each of those levels though? There was definitely some sharpness at first, but the Sopra's did settle down. Detail is... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up I have never actually heard a "typical" hifi demo disc. I've been to a dealer out here that asked really odd/off-putting questions about what I'm looking for. So I've decided to go on my journey on my own without the local dealer. Would rather do ... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @karl_desch I definitely know what you meant. I for once got to call alternative music high fidelity so I just wanted to capitalize on the situation! I should probably try familiar music from here on out. I have Rocket 88 on loan right now and the... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @karl_desch have you heard the analog mastering pressing? It's pretty damn hifi if you ask me! I upgraded to Audioquest Robin Hood Zero so we'll see how they do when they get here. I've been experimenting with less whiskey and toe in and I think I... | |
| Help with turntable setup? I run a concept Wood and set-up really is done at the factory/dealer. I would download the RPM speed app to double check the speed for both 33/45. Also I use the acrylic vta/azimuth block which can be had for $10 just to learn more about cartridge... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @mmcelyea yeah I'm running them off of the 4 ohm tap. I ran the 1028's at 4 ohms as well. Well it may be amp season next....and I was just about to upgrade my Audioquest cables again... | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up @tastypeter nailed it on the head. It was a slight panic of "wow I just spent all this money and this is what it nets?" Settling in for the next few weeks to get them comfortable and dialed in. |
