| Should I upgrade my phono linestage first or the tonearm for better results? arrowav8r,I think you made a good decision with your phono stage upgrade. I will be interested to hear your thoughts on the comparison. | |
| Tube Phono Stage or Tube Integrated- help! There are very few all tube phono stages. Most phono stages designed to work with moving coil cartridges use a step up transformer of FET (solid state) front end for the first gain stage.A few of the all tube phono stages are Aesthetix Rhea, Aesth... | |
| Proac D48R Thanks sense 63. I appreciate the comment on my system.If your room and budget work with the size and cost of the D-48r that would be my choice. The D-48r will have more bass extension and play louder than the D-30r due to the additional woofer an... | |
| Proac D48R Sense63, take a look at my room. I have the D-40r speakers in a 11x17 room with 10 ft ceilings. They work fine in that size of room. | |
| Basis 1400 TT... Michell should be if they are the single pillar. The Graham Robin should also work and Origin Live. I bought a NOS Vector 3 a few years ago for about $1,300, so if you can stretch your budget a little and watch used ads you might be able to get a ... | |
| Proac D48R I have heard the Sugden Masterclass IA-4 Integrated Amplifier with my Proac D-40r speakers (very similar to your D-48 speakers) and was very impressed with the results. It is in your price range new, with a minor discount, and is a real consider... | |
| Basis 1400 TT... All Rega single pillar arms are drop in replacements, along with Michell arms. The best choice would be a Basis Vector arm. There are others using the Rega platform that would also work. The difference between the Vector and another Rega is stunni... | |

| Aesthetix Io transformer noise rost, sorry to hear about your difficult experience and happy to hear your local dealer is helping you. I have a system with Aesthetix electronics and dealing with Jim White has always been a great experience.I upgraded my Aesthetix Rhea to the Si... | |
| Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used "joejoe02-07-2016 5:29pmJperry, where have seen the ProAcResponse 2 for 1k? An impressive speaker indeed. Even if I had one, if you get pick one up for a grand, hell get another."Prices rise and fall. That was back in 2013. None for sale at tha... | |
| What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon? I understand what you mean. The anonymity of the internet allows people to disregard common courtesy. Audiogon is still OK, but not what it once was. Now on Sundays I go to my local Hi Fi shop (yes they still exist and should be supported) to chat... | |
| Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it. Granite Audio makes a similar product as well. You might want to look at it. | |
| Proac Response 2.5 /Proac Response D15 suitable amps?? I looked up your Jadis and it appears to put out 40 wpc. The Proac 2.5 has very low powerful bass for a small floorstanding speaker, but the trade off is that it is not very efficient. I owned a pair and thought they were a very nice speaker. I am... | |
| Michell Gyro SE + SME IV upgrade path I have a SME 10A and a Michell Gyrodec with Origin Live OL-1 arm and a new power supply.I also have a Garrard 301. My recommendation is to try a Garrard 301/401. You should be able to do that with a new plinth and tonearm for under $10K.Another th... | |
| Quicksilver Mono 120 vs. Quicksilver V4 I have Quicksilver V-4 amps and they sound great with all speakers I have used with them. They run cool for tube amps, and it is easy to adjust bias, which I check occasionally and does not usually require adjustment. I have not heard the Mono 120... |
