| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. Like Wolf, I shelled out the $150 for the Loki. I use it sparingly between my DAC and my tube integrated. When using it, it's most often to push the bass up a tad (to about 1 or 2 o'clock) in the form of a makeshift loudness button when I'm list... | |
| Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350? Yes soundermn, I have a Primaluna Integrated, Manley Chinook and the ART9 too! It would be fun to hear each other's systems. | |
| I need a subwoofer/sub-bass opinion from you @@mzkmxcv, any information on why you (or others) like the other brands over REL? I'd love to get some intel. | |
| I need a subwoofer/sub-bass opinion from you @grey9hound great points. 100% 2 channel hifi music. I’d consider used for sure. Budget is flexible. If I was convinced spending above $2500 would be wise I’d do it. Ideally I’d like to not spend more than that or $2k. | |
| I need a subwoofer/sub-bass opinion from you Thanks Wolf!!! | |
| technics sl 1200 gae OP, what is is it that you don’t like or want to improve with the GAE? I own the table. I would think money would be better spent going after the right cartridge and not trying expensive modifications. Modding is cool in my book though. | |
| Make Audiogon Great Ahem! I would love to see less posters responding to OPs and sometimes others with less than polite words—often with attitude and sometimes condemnation. On guitar and diy audio forums I use people have more of a sense of community, hobby, and an overal... | |
| Can you help pinpoint why I am now satisfied with my digital setup? @mahler123, Yes, my objective was to push my digital front end up a bit (better it so I could listen longer). The reason I want to do that is I really like exploring the catalog on Tidal before I buy vinyl, which I'm not yet familiar. Some have ... | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? Keep your suspicion at bay. I’m the OP and I have no connection to Mr OCD’s business or videos. I stumbled across him on YouTube and watched each of his videos. I wanted merely to share what I found with others. After all this and “meeting” him he... | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? I thouroughly enjoy OCD’s passion. And it’s nice to see and hear someone talk about this stuff like he does. Also, he makes me laugh in the sense that I know I am nerding it up by getting excited to see him explain his dedicated wiring or DAC shoo... | |
| Can you help pinpoint why I am now satisfied with my digital setup? Steve N. Thank you!!!! That makes sense. I really appreciate the technical explanation. | |
| Can you help pinpoint why I am now satisfied with my digital setup? Those are sage words Elizabeth! | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? Lighten up Wolf!!! Just kidding. I respect your view Sir. | |
| The Devil is in the Cartridge Setup (and a good phone pre)... That's interesting, Soundermn! I'd be talking beyond my expertise (very limited anyhow) to say whether op amps stabilizing DC voltage had any bearing on the sound when they are entirely out of the signal pathway. This fact probably makes the qui... | |
| Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350? @soundermn,We are living parallel lives! I to had a Dynavector that suffered a broken stylus (right off the thing entirely) in an unfortunate accident. Then, like you, I had to replace it. I bought the ART9. I also have an Ortofon 2M Black. Wo... |
