| Original VPI Aries vs VPI classic 3 03-07-13: TatersI was hoping more people would be in agreement here. Everyone seems to have their own story.Taters, it sounds like you wanted everyone to say the Classic 3 would be an awesome upgrade, to validate your purchase decision. Many don't... | |
| The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations Thanks for reporting back in. Congrats on the Shelter and enjoy the music. | |
| Speaker cable suggestion Well if you are looking for neutral and transparent, the Nordost cables are about as far as you can go in that direction, so you should enjoy them.I think the Stealth Hybrid MLT are one of the best buys in cables at their used prices. Almost as fa... | |
| Original VPI Aries vs VPI classic 3 I agree with Philb7777, it sounds like you are talking about a lateral move at best to me.Interesting read here about the Aries 1, scroll down under Class B, and you will see that the writer feels it is the best of the Aries series, and superior t... | |
| Speaker cable suggestion You are welcome. There are other smaller sites too, like Audio Circle, AudioAficionado, Hydrogenaudio that have for sale items too. I've never sold there, and some, like AudioAficionado, require you to be a member (pay a fee) to visit the members ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Audiolabyrinth, this thread has run it's course, as all threads eventually do, but rest assured, there will be others, and Rok and his crew shall return. If you miss the battle that much maybe you should start a thread that says anyone who can't h... | |
| Whats my weak link? 03-06-13: B_limoPs, again, Jmcgrogan, what pre amp would you recommend? I can probably try my buddies to see if that's partly responsible. I've read reviews stating that the classe ssp 25 isn't that great for a 2 ch. pre.B, I went through that HT ... | |
| Whats my weak link? Slow down B_limo, you move too fast. | |
| Whats my weak link? +1 Winoguy17. I would start by eliminating the pre/pro. I never found one that could do music right, including Classe. Your amp has an input impedence of 75Kohm, so a nice tube preamp should fill the bill nicely. Even a solid state stereo preamp w... | |
| Speaker cable suggestion @Audiolabyrinth, I don't know how long this will stay up, as these boards are moderated, but I have found Audio Asylum Trader, US Audiomart and it's sister CanuckAudiomart, Sound Offers and Ebay to be a few other alternatives for buying. I current... | |
| Speaker cable suggestion Kzhtoo, check other sites. I sold my 8' banana bi-wire Heimdall on other sites about 4 weeks ago. I still have Heimdall ic's for sale there as well. Other sites don't have the volume of Audiogon, but there are less fees and fewer lowballers. Audio... | |
| Ultimate sub? Careful Tpreaves, I got told on another thread that suggesting that someone search the archives is rude and unacceptable behaviour. ;)I didn't see a price range in the OP's initial post, it was titled "Ultimate sub", so I took him at his word and ... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? So this leads me to another question: can you have all the "juicy" detail, and yet have a warm sound too?Yes, if you have two systems. Just as your analogy with vehicles, they are designed for a certain perfomance. There are pick-up trucks and spo... | |
| Speaker cable suggestion Nordost Heimdall, Stealth Hybrid MLT, Mapleshade Double Helix plus or Tara Labs Air 1 should do the trick. The Stealth would be my reco, but you may not find a pair under $1K, unless you get a great deal or are using shorter lengths.I currently ow... | |
| Is there a perfect speaker? Monogamous nirvana is an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp, army intelligence and happily married.No, there are no perfect speakers, nor is any other audio gear perfect. Stop listening for equipment flaws, and start listening to the music. |
