| switching to stand mount speakers +1 @russ69 @tbuff are you open to tower speakers with small footprint like a speaker stand? If not, you’ll likely be giving up bass extension. Then again, Maggies are generally known for lacking bass energy so you may not miss it. | |
| Used amps, how to tell if,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, @joes44 I've read some good things about the Khartago. If Alon Wolf of Magico likes and uses Odyssey Audio amps, that’s saying a lot of it’s performance aka excellent price/performance. As others mentioned, recapping is out of your budge... | |
| Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive +1 @carlsbad I don’t think @tektondesign realizes the depth and breath of irrational hatred for Tekton on this specific forum by people who have never heard the speakers. I’ve heard Tekton speakers at an audio show. It sounded great at it’s pr... | |
| Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective OP is your question answered, or are you still unclear? If so, what? | |
| Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies @hilde45 - good post, too much unhealthy stress nowadays | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? Room treatments often give a substantial sonic benefit, often ignored by some audiophiles. Also, it would be very helpful to know what you're sonically dissatisfied with (transparency, soundstage, noise floor, bass tightness...) and which dire... | |

| Sad to say I need a new amp… no way to generalize, but, to me, the sonic benefits make owning tube gear worthwhile. +1 True, tube gear often requires more $ outlay and maintenance than SS, but it most often offers a midrange that can sound magical especially on voices. Al... | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers I dream of a dedicated audio room. I dream of obtaining a 3D enhancer BAACH dsp crosstalk cancelling component. Reviews extremely positive | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. +1 for mostly everyone @jackhifiguy Your making a mistake assuming that components optimized for speaker automatically means headphone output is at the same level. True, there are some integrated that both are great sounding, but that is ... | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile +1 @ghdprentice | |
| Decided to try a SPU cartridge Will do. May be awhile though, I have to change flooring and awaiting funds to complete audio chain as mentioned in my earlier post. | |
| Decided to try a SPU cartridge @dover Also, just to reiterate, if you want to play with SUT's, you can use them with the MM input on your Grail phono. The GrailSB is a "current" phono stage. Not sure if the MM inputs are "voltage" based which would allow a SUT. My Grail ... | |
| Denver and Front Range furniture maker -- just did my audio rack! Thanks for the custom woodworking shelf/amp stand tip. Usually custom means significantly more $$$. Fantastic idea to get custom fitted furniture to fit specific needs without breaking the bank. Congrats on your new audio shelf. |
