| A New MC to Catch One's Attention Looking forward to a review vs the top cartridges. Maybe one piece diamond stylus+cantilever is superior. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) China” is such a gross oversimplification to use to generalize it is rediculous. +1 Lower labor and possibly lower materials costs are not the same as lower quality. Sure there are cheap inferior products and fake copies, but it is not univ... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I don’t bring it up to avoid inviting criticism. I get zero satisfaction from envy. | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @plaw Perhaps you're sensitive to high frequencies. Is your entire audio chain solid state? What's your source, analog or digital? | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners The Humminguru seems bargain priced. The Kurmiss seems to clean as well as the Degritter and the Audiodesk based on Fremer's assessment, but a lot of steps to accomplish it. KL is out of the USRCM business The Degritter is a later design, does ... | |
| Cabling Recommendations @mrrobot It would be helpful to know your budget, otherwise you'll get suggestions from bargains and favorites to cost-no-object. Looking at your specific component reviews may list cabling that can suit your needs. Inquiring at Focal and/or N... | |
| Speaker upgrade +1 Volti Razz - heard them at the last AXPONA - sounded great. For my foray into flea watt amps, I wanted neutral uncolored speakers efficient enough to be driven by my 300B 8w SET amps. Klipsch speakers, a long established company with many fan... | |
| Cabling Recommendations Siltech or Crystal Cables get great reviews. I targeted neutral transparent at a price I can afford, so went with the Siltech Classic Legend. Seems some top pro reviewers think Audioquest Dragon cables as one of the best. | |
| Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power You can buy and sell used to try. Audio Bacon had a PC shootout a few years back. Acoustic Revive on eBay from Japan RSX Upper PC lines got great reviews | |
| What is Your End Game System? Automobile sonics don’t compare well to a good room. End game is simply when one decides to stop changing out components, up until then it’s a journey of discovery and learning. | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? Seems that the OP is hung up on the “audiophile” label rather than the components performance in its price range. It’s the sonics, the price, and possibly the feature set that matters. | |
| Can someone help me pick out my first speakers? +1 Pioneer Andrew Jones Had the Pioneer SP-FS52 for years before building my high-end system. Andrew Jones is a speaker design guru with a long history of proven track record at various companies. | |
| Anything close to Hegel H360 but smaller/lighter? The Hegel size and weight is not unusual for an integrated amp. With the exception of Devialet offerings, trying to find something with similar performance in a smaller/lighter package probably doesn’t exist. More importantly, make sure that the ... | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? @korakotta seems like your asking us for your preference which we cannot answer. At your price level, it’s analog sonics vs digital convenience. You’ve already achieved your “really magical” sound, whether switching to a digital system to achiev... | |
| How good does my system have to be to realize an improvement with cables? @danager +1 It depends. A much easier question to answer is telling us what your audio chain components including cables are then we can make better suggestions. |
