| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. Despite Roberjerman's other wild and unfounded assertions, his Hana cartridge recommendation is a very good one - - very goo d performance for money, to be sure. The Technics SL1200 is also a killer good table (and OK arm, too). I use and like m... | |
| What are your top songs that you use to evaluate a new high end purchase ? Here are a few well recorded performances that have to sing in captivating fashion, or I wouldn't want the system! Each has its "tells" for revealing the sonic influence of a system change.Jazz:Shelly Manne & His Men - at the Blackhawk, Vol. ... | |
| What are your top songs that you use to evaluate a new high end purchase ? @slaw No, "alluded" is likely what you meant. I searched up some definitions of "elude" and none come close to suggest "the appreciation of". Here is more what they all say:https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elude | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music I see two others have recommended checking out the PS Audio 300 mono's, and I'd agree that they are very much sonic contenders and worth anyone's hearing, but do be aware that they generate a decent amount of heat. My room gets hotter from that p... | |
| AC Regenerator @sadono I did try the P10 with a 30 day return option, and it stayed in my system. I will likely also demo the P20, given the word of mouth from others that have upgraded on this path. I can hear for myself and decide if it improves things and i... | |
| AC Regenerator "Like anything audio, the cost is not equal to the improvement" - - so true, Elizabeth! You have to have been born with a pretty funny itch in your brain to spend like we do, but who's to judge what brings joy to one's soul? | |
| AC Regenerator Another PS Audio user here, dual P10's in my case. I used a P300 back when PS Audio put out their first regenerator (late 90's), and I wasn't all that impressed (except by the waste heat - - wow did it get hot!). The P10 is entirely a different ... | |
| Anyone try a SUB THREE from Vandersteen yet? @gdnrbobI owned a pair of Quatro's that have the 11 band equilizer set up, and this actually is most important if you cannot move the speakers to optimal bass locations. So, your situation might be well served by the new Sub 3... | |
| What the heck is up with the audiogon listing photos? @AdminYes, each of us can individually choose the more informative "Classic View" once we understand the process of getting to the selection point.But my concern is that not all potential buyers will know this, and any listing that I put up will n... | |
| Who wants to return to the previous Audiogon list format? If that is your concern, then why are you wasting your time on this site, and in particular, reading this thread? | |
| Who wants to return to the previous Audiogon list format? @Admin But do you really engage with and understand our concerns that the new look actually interferes with proper search and discovery, which, if you are a Seller, is definitely a concern. It truly seems like a mistake that will disrupt transac... | |
| Who wants to return to the previous Audiogon list format? I agree that their new look sucks and is irritating, but you don't have to live with it. You can change it. Search for an item, and when you are presented with all of those gottverdamt "keyhole" views, you get a drop down in the upper right. Dro... | |
| What speakers work well against a wall If you are thinking of smaller speakers, you should check out a couple of Swedish offerings: Guru G-10, and Sjofn's "the clue". Both are designed to sit literally 1" from the back wall, being designed for the boundary reinforcement.I run "the cl... | |
| What hi res file is better 96/24 or 192/16 ? Man, I can hear the screamin' difference between MP3 and Red Book quite clearly on my car stereo, let alone my hifi rig! If you can be happy with 192kbps, I guess that's bliss (as an old adage goes). | |
| Technics Turntables...really??? nkonor,I am using a ring that I made myself, following the example of a discontinued model. It is a constrained layer damped ring consisting of two .080" thick stainless steel layers that sandwich a .125" acrylic layer, all bonded using a more du... |
