| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt Any amp from David Belles still sound excellent and can show many amps the door | |
| Goodbye CD's Well, I started this thread back in 08...and to date, I have NOT gone to a file playback system..I still like the physical cd and Lp medium. I also feel that the current Vinyl playback systems have really matured and become much better at high fid... | |
| SF Grand Piano Home tweeter upgrade oh sombody's done it im sure...maybe not on the forums much or at all to see my post...AG is less a hobbiest site than a few others..maybe someone will chime in. Im not married to the idea of definitely doing this..just a thought and wanting to as... | |
| SF Grand Piano Home tweeter upgrade Thanks for the response Elizabeth. Yes, well aware of the pifalls and then some, which is why I need to hear from anyone who has actually done an upgrade...cheers | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Just sold my crazy modded 09 Subaru STI 440whp/475wtq with 14K to get into my very first BMW M3....an 05 with 55K mi. All smiles! | |
| good tube amp match for maggie 1.7's? The best tube amp of many that I tried on my 1.6's was a pair of circa 1984 Conrad Johnson Premier 5 Mono's at 200w/ 4ohm. Simply stated...they were oh so musical and seductive..A big palette of rich colors indeed. Depth and scale as well. Not the... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Donald Byrd..The Cat Walk...45 rpm Blue Note. | |
| Which moving magnet cartridge mm 4 vpi classic? Clearaudio Maestro or Virtuoso wood are excellent on the Classic 10.5I seI also like my Dynavector HO 20X MC. Its designed to mate with a MM phono stage for loading at 47K, so it's not a finicky coil. | |
| Turntable/Arm/Cart for Classic Rock; $1500 budget You should know that the Dynavector DV-20x while widely considered a great sounding cart..( I use one) it's attributes include a rather laid back midrange perspective and thus may not be your best choice for Classic rock. On my VPI Classic it does... | |
| 47 Labs Mc Bee MC Genkides,Thanks for the info. The 6 moons review has it mounted on the Origin Live Silver/Garrard 301 and Shigaraki Phono stage and they liked it too...My concern would be mounting on a VPI Classic with 10.5i SE arm..Seems like it would be a decen... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Have mine in house about 2 weeks now. Ive owned the HW-19 MkIII, Scout, Scoutmaster and Aries tables. The Classic reminds me of the Aries 10 combo in signature, but it does surpass the Aries in coherence, dynamics, quietness, and the bass is amazi... | |
| Moving on from Nordost Blue Heaven to...? Hi Dan,Congrats on the 1.6's by the way. Exceptional speaker.I was using the Blue Heaven's IC and SC for a time...I found PNF Audio's Icon IC and Symphony SC were more realistic and weightier sounding..better depth and transparency. All around jus... | |
| C.J. PV-5 vs PV-10's 11's and 12's Owned all with exception of the 11. The 10,10A and 10B models are good sounding, but the 12 is a bit better overall IMO. While the 5 is a classic and was great pre amp in it's day..... it is dated by comparison to the 12. The 12's noise floor is q... | |
