| The Disappearing Act If disappearing means 3D sound field, then when I started my high-end audio journey I visited a brick and mortar audio store. There I heart GoldenEar Triton speakers hooked up to Parasound electronics. I was gobsmacked when I heard a 3D sound fie... | |
| 3k budget for Turntable and Phono Noob- do I need external power supplies? MoFi Ultradeck + cartridge on sale 1k off, excellent sonic buy. Many great reviews. | |
| A cable too perfect? I’m reminded of chicken little | |
| Buckeye amps I just discovered Buckeye Amplifiers from the Stereophile review here. They seem to be a great sonic bargain offering low noise floors and up to high powered amplification in a small package. | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? @audiojan are you open to "tube" integrated options? | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers @deadhead1000 WBF = What’s Best Forum - much deeper pockets- they discuss through experience up to the very best audio components. Usually, Luxman is paired with speakers costing roughly up to 20k. If you get a top speaker, like the Magico M3,... | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers @deadhead1000 When I searched for my first high end speakers, I listened to the best I could find at audio shows (AXPONA, Pacific Audio Fest (Seattle, WA), T.H.E. Show (LA)) and brink and mortar stores. After finding the sound I like, then trie... | |

Agree if that is one's sonic target, it's an expensive endeavor with few with sufficient budgets to cover. Also great if one can lower ambient noise... | |
| Turntable Quandry "Seems like a Technics 1300G and a good MC cart we are pushing 5k for sure" Yes exactly! That is right in line and appropriate for your system. +1 @billstevenson After upgrading table+cart, you'll have a very high level system. Hope you h... | |
| Anyone Listen Extensively To V1 Of The Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Vinyl Phono Stage? @neonknight looking forward to your comparison | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers It sure is an expensive pursuit @billstevenson you ain't kidding. I have a VDH current phono stage, and a Corralstone cart. I'd have to get a quality voltage phono and a quality SUT. It'll be a long while - dealing with other rabbit holes | |
| BS meter is pegged! Not all reviewers are created equal. Audiophiles are primarily concerned with the end point - sonics, usability, reliability, cost, etc. | |
| Do you prefer tall speakers Do you prefer tall speakers My higher or preference is self preservation WAF, so no for current shared space. If I have a separate audio space/room, then preference is simply sonics so height not the deciding factor. | |
| $300-$500 Cartridge for Thorens TD-1601 Turntable +1 @dekay and @viridian Grado carts are known for being musical. Nagaoka Carts are solid performers. |
