| What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? If you take care of your cartridge and get 2000 hours out of it, at about 44 minutes per album, it is about 2,727 albums. If you pay $12,000 for the cartridge, it costs about $4.40 to play an album. Only you can decide if it is worth it to you. | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. Thanks samgar2 | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. Thanks all for your replies so far. I am leaning towards D48R. I will look for an opportunity to listen to SarafinG2. I am in no hurry, 3.8’s are sounding good today. | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. Thanks @fastfreight. I think K8 would be too big for my room. I can't find that listing though. | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. The Pearls are out of my price range. Also, never heard them. There is a pair of k-6 on another site for 17,500 which is a stretch for my budget. I will look for a dealer with Sarafinos for demo and give them a listen. I know the ProAcs are great ... | |
| Thinking of upgrading speakers from ProAc 3.8 I have enjoyed in my system for 23 years. For people familiar with D48R and 3.8, is it worth the upgrade , or do I need to go to K6 for it to be worth it. | |
| Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ?? I don't understand a high end turntable without VTA. When I go from a Dynaflex to 200 gram I adjust VTA. | |
| Lyra Delos Rebuild Soundsmith replaced the cantilever on my Lyra Lydian B and I like it better than the original. | |
| analog upgrade suggestions needed I would love to hear from anyone that added a wave mechanic to a Spacedeck or upgraded from a Spacedeck to something else. I am leaning towards the Soundsmith Paula 2, it appears they are going on sale. Anyone had a Paula 2 on a Spacearm? | |
| Hotel California sounds good on the radio. As I said, I was not commenting on the music. My post is about the quality of the recording. I like the music on my old Rolling Stones records. They sound like crap on my audiophile system. It has been explained to me it is because they are "mixed... | |
| Hotel California sounds good on the radio. I am not commenting on the music. I am observing that recordings known to be of high quality sound on our audiophile systems sound as good or better than recordings that sound terrible on revealing systems. It is often said the bad recordings soun... | |
| Driver Testing - reduced output I noticed volume differences between my Proac 3.8's . Ended up replacing all four drivers to correct the problem. Sound Organization had them in stock. I forget how much but I remember they were expensive. It was worth it. | |
| Looking for upgrade of Accuphase E-480 I don't think your B&W speakers will sound good with bad recordings with anything but the very warmest amplifier. Your Accuphase will sound great on most recordings with Proac or Sonus Faber speakers, and they are still quite revealing. | |
