| Have you asked yourself this question? A new Pioneer PLX. 1000 TT ($700), Denon 103R ($340) and a Schiit Mani 2 phono stage ($160) is a reasonably affordable LP playback system not at all embarrassed by streaming. The idea that one must spend thousands more to equal streaming is ridicu... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? Well done LP playback is a joy and LP's can be passed on to future generations. They have a provenance that streaming lacks. The streaming user has no way of knowing what generation was used, how the mastering was done. | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @mijostyn : That upgraded Linn Sondek can hardly be called "lack luster"! | |
| Made Major Upgrade at $0 Cost in 1 Minute The sub should only make its presence known occasionally because most music, except for EDM, doesn't go much below 40 hz. | |
| Leben CS 600 ( Dumper tube ) Tube rolling @atmasphere +1 Those old TV damper tubes make good robust rectifiers! They lack slow warmup though! Tube circuits should have the heater voltages applied first and allowed to warm up before being slammed with high B+ voltages. | |
| SR Master Fuse on preamp Keep drinking more of that SR KoolAde! | |
| PayPal imposed draconian security blocks AFTER I sold my unit I agree! I no longer use PayPal because when I got a new phone and number in March they wouldn't let me access my account without draconian proof of who I am! Required was a screenshot of my State Photo ID card - which was then 7 years old and a s... | |
| matching pre for Dynaco mk4 monoblocks The Kenwood C-1 would be a good match, especially at that price! I have one in my collection. An excellent sounding preamp competitive with today's four-figure gear! | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest The JVC DVD player sits on three 2" maple cubes atop a BEL 1001 amp which in turn sits on three 1" maple cubes atop a Sumo Andromeda amp. I like to use wooden cubes between components. | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest I have a heavy single end 6BG6 tube amp sitting on top of a JVC DVD player that I use as a transport for my Khadas KTB DAC. So heavy I have to lift up the front of the tube amp to get the center drawer open to load a CD. Sounded real good listenin... | |
| Audience Cables Like wine and whiskey it's all subjective! | |
| Going to replace my Fluance rt85 For $699 you can get a new Pioneer PLX1000 direct drive TT. I have one in my collection. Herb Reichert gave it a very positive review a few years ago in Stereophile. I doubt you can hear any difference between it and the several times more expensi... | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio Good to learn of a quality affordable phono stage! Thanks @quincy ! | |
| Sansui? Get your brother-in-law a pair of original JBL 100's or the 4312's to match the vintage Sansui amp. The Alpha 907i is a formidable piece! | |
| jitter Jitter is a non-issue solved decades ago! Present day DAC's and streamers are immune to jitter. No need for re-clocking devices, despite what the neurotically obsessed will claim. |
