| Substantial Upgrade I would buy the Dr. Feickert Volare over the Rega P6. I have heard both brands extensively in familiar systems. One of the compelling differences of the Dr. Feickert is the high torque drive resulting in a bigger sound. I would check and see if on... | |
| Curl or Pass George,Thanks for the responsive post. Best Regards | |
| Curl or Pass @georgehifi“You are blind to what I said. It then saves the owner then paying $$$$ for a useless line stage preamp.I’m not telling him to purchase a Lightspeed, a simple $49 Schiit Sys passive would then do, get off your "active preamp pedestal".”... | |
| Curl or Pass I am with @clifff on this even if he had one post. He may have been lurking for some time, who knows. The @georgehifi post is a perfect example. George loves the Tom Evans phono stages because he "Has models that have big gain so you only need a... | |
| Lamm LP2/2.1 vs Luxman EQ-500 @lewm You really hit the nail on the head. A useful response here is possible, but most prefer to just shout out what they own or want to own, without regard to the question from the OP.OP good luck with your question. All I can say is the Luxman ... | |

| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. For a classic look and current production I think it is difficult to beat the Luxman or Leben tubed gear. | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? @rooze Maybe they are waiting to see if they get a full price offer or one higher than your offer. They may end up accepting your offer if they don’t get a better offer. | |
| 5 cartridges - Cello, vdH, Benz, Zu, Hana - what stays and what goes? I would keep 1. van den Hul Grasshopper II. Recently retipped by Sound-smith.2. Cello Chorale. | |
| Entry Level Tube Preamp or Higher Quality Used Model? Thanks. I know Audio Research services almost every model. My points were the Calypso is still in current production, and Audio Research does not service every model. Audio Research may also decide they can't support the model you purchased in the... | |
| Entry Level Tube Preamp or Higher Quality Used Model? If you want balanced connections and don’t need a phono preamp I recommend buying the Aesthetix Calypso. Unlike the Audio Research, and models from many other companies, the Aesthetix is and will continue to be serviced by Aexthetix. Instead of in... | |
| ProAc DT8 vs D20R I have owned a lot of different ProAc speakers and currently own the D-40r.I think there are two significant improvements in some of the older models.The ribbon tweeters IMO are much better than the previous dome tweeters. The bottom porting has m... | |
