| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup @thecarpathian wow I really hurt you didn’t I? 🤣🤣🤣 Also, you're agreeing with a guy that says a $500 phono is sufficient for a $1500 cart. Lol. | |
| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup @chocaholic feel free to read more than headlines and you’ll learn a lot. You can do it. You’re smarter than you think! | |
| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup @chocaholic you're sorely mistaken if you think a $500 phonostage will deliver the capabilities of $1,500 cartridge. That phonostage is entirely built to budget, which is fine for those with bare bones entry level gear that don't want to spend the... | |
| Need advice for upgrading my analog setup @chocaholic you've obviously not listened to the difference between a $500 phono and a $2-$3k phono if you're recommending someone to stay with what they have. Especially when they're moving up the ranks big time from an entry level table. In... | |
| Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues I had an Evo 400 integrated and then Dialogue Premium separates later on. PL in my opinion didn't have enough bass, but I didn't notice until I sold it. I rolled el34, kt88, kt120's and kt150's and none solved lack of bass. My PS Audio BHK 250 smo... | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? @hilde45 my PS Audio P10 would show me the oscilloscope on its screen to show how much distortion was on the line. I had a low noise, but it still made my system sound cleaner. I moved to a Shunyata Denali and it's even better, but I did lose the ... | |
| Gallagher has passed away. Gallagher transcended generations. My grandmother showed us kids his stand-up. I'll definitely be watching some of his work this weekend. | |
| Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings? I'm with @mikelavigne . I work in sales and price is usually the starting point the buyers use to engage and smokescreen. It's up to the seller to provide something besides price if they want to close the sale and keep their margins. I've ma... | |
| Benz Micro Glider Stylus protection I had a big plastic box built at Tap Plastics that I drop over my entire table. This has helped my dust associated neurosis as well as keeping my cart out of harms way. I can be as sloppy drunk as I'd like and not have to worry about it coming int... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers I owned the Aria 936's for about 9 months and never warned up to them. I always felt the tweeter was disconnected from the rest of the drivers and they didn't disperse evenly and together. I moved up to the Electra 1028 and absolutely loved them. ... | |
| Butcherblock Acoustics "feet" effecting sound and isolation I have the regular rubber feet under my Butcher Block Acoustic Platform that I use for my turntable. I couldn't believe the difference it made. Maybe try the rubber feet out as they're not too expensive. I'm super happy with mine. | |
| Primaluna or not Primaluna I owned the Primaluna Evo 400 integrated. It was a nice start into tubes. I then purchased a Dialogue Premium Pre and ran it through the HT input and it was a fantastic upgrade. I then went to a Dialogue Premium HP Poweramp for about a year or so ... | |
| Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250 @dynguy that's what I imagined we would hear from Sim and I believe it. From what I've heard the chassis is a major input cost so the 760 should hopefully blow away the 400m. I guess in moving on front considering the 400m for sure now. More in th... | |
| Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250 @jerryg123 I've been eyeing those Atma-sphere Class D's. Not sure if dealers allow in home trials with them or not. Don't know if there are any dealers in my area or how that process works for Atma-sphere. The tubes in the m1200's is what has me r... | |
| Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250 @sdw @jbuhl I like how this turned into a PS Audio thread. Lol. I was hoping to go for the Moon gear but for $3k less I guess I could give the M1200's a try. |
