| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other You might want to ad SOTA to your list. I have a Star Sapphire table with vacuum hold down and a SME 309 arm on it, a very nice combo IMHO. The SOTA tables being produced now have been seriously reworked for the better, magnetic levitation bearing... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp I have the Benz Glider Gold and regarding @Blackdoghifi on loading recommendations, the Benz do like higher loading. I have found 1K to work the best after running through other lower options using my Fosgate Signature phono amp. Try them all but ... | |
| Prima Luna have released the Kracken (striketrough) I mean DAC I actually have the EVO 100 dac and find the sound quite good. I admit I haven’t heard all dac’s in the price range but I got mine used for under 2K which I thought was a bargain. It does take about an hour to sound its best but it’s soundstaging,... | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers I have a pair of the L710’s in my living room. They are not hitched up now, not sure why so maybe I’ll bring them up to my music room and give them a spin. These were one of the first speakers, Dahlquist DQ-10’s being another that started my ... | |
| Thank you millercarbon Very interesting wire configuration, kind of looks like a Synergistic high end speaker cable they market. In theory it should sound exceptional and from what MC says in his review, they do. But as others have pointed out, getting it certified for ... | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? I’m big on vintage gear also having just the past couple of years gotten back into the audio world. Kids, college, etc. being the main reasons I got out of it the past 25 years or so. But I digress. MY main rig right now is Martin Logan CLS driv... | |
| Helping a kid out Wonderful thread for sure. I wish I had a mentor to inspire my love for audio but I guess I had the next best thing, a local dealer who would actually guide you along the audio path. But I digress. It’s a great thing your doing for that kid ... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 100 DAC I Java a PL Evo100 Dax and am quite happy with it. After having a few solid state Dax’s of which neither did much for me, closed in soundstage, dry dynamically, nothing to make me want to play digital at all. I would rather play CD’s or vinyl as n... | |
| TIDAL on SALE! Just saw this post last night and decided at that price to try it. Easy to purchase and setup and have already populated a large list of songs. This looks like it can be as addictive as the audio game itself! Thanks for the post by the way. | |
| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? Regarding the correlation between marketing phrases and being PC, why can’t people just tell it like it is? If I’m selling something I strive to be as honest as I can, if it has a light out or scratches, etc., I show them in pictures and words.... | |
| Opinions on Silnote Cables I also have some Silnote cables. I tried the power cables they offer for $99.00, figured what the heck, I’ll take a chance. I was impressed upon arrival, packaged well and the cable itself was nicely put together and looks like it will last foreve... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I can’t understand the PL bashing either. Not to say they are the best amps, preamps, etc, but quite a good value for the money. For those that like tube gear, me being on of those people, it’s hard to fault someone who may be starting out tryin... | |
| Is 1990's equipment vintage? Used, vintage, new? Does the age really matter if you get satisfaction out of the gear you own and play? Many items I own I guess are vintage aged, Krell KSA150, Martin Logan CLS speakers, Day Sequerra FM Studio tuner. Older gear for sure but mu... | |
| Shipping. Hard Lesson. a recent purchase of a vintage McIntosh MR-71 tube tuner by me which I had been looking for maybe for about a year was destroyed by UPS. The unit was professionally packed by a reputable seller, overkill on the packaging and sent to me via UPS.... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? While there are a certain amount of sellers who are only thinking about how much money they are making, on the other hand I think most Audiogon sellers are pretty honest. I’ve tecently got back into Audio after a 15 year hiatus, kids, college, etc... |
