| XM tuners/ receivers @glennewdick Nice tuner. I love the look of vintage Sansui tuners. Speaking of which, at an audio show the Mofi SourcePoint8 were driven by a vintage Sansui 9090 DB receiver which I thought was gorgeous - stared admiringly for awhile. Been con... | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? reducing the noise floor in the cabling and equipment you have a better listening experience. 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. | |
| System Advice FYI - for a bit more money, maybe Odyssey Audio integrated- no DAC or phono, but a ridiculous sonic bargain. It’s one of the amps that Alon Wolf of Magico (top cutting edge speakers) uses. | |
| System Advice Outlaw Audio may be a good choice. | |
| System advice The Lampi Baltic 4 is a sonic bargain, musical and detailed. You’ll likely find it very engaging. | |
| ???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why??? MBL 126 with MBL electronics - clean, clear, ample bass Harbeth M30.2 XD with Hegel H390 or better - great musical combo Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene - big fan of Joseph Audio sound Cabasse RIALTO - small size, big sound including ample bass. ... | |
| A question about trim rings around speaker drivers Does somebody have a loose screw? | |
| Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong? While cupping ears may change the Sonics for the better, not sure how you came to the conclusion that speaker placement is wrong - the logic doesn’t follow. | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy @roxy54 Seems you’re reading in too much in this review, and the reviewer’s opinion is just HIS opinion which may not match other’s subjective preferences. Also seems you already know the Wilson sound, but simply disagree with this reviewer’s c... |
