| new to me turntable and preamp Grado cartridges often hum a little bit (mine do but I still love the way they sound) even if the table is well grounded - apparently due to interaction with EMF around TT motor. Perhaps the Bellari accentuates this hum more than some other amps. ... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help If you like the way it sounds, that is all that really matters. | |
| new to me turntable and preamp Bellari is better than Parasound IMHO. | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help They are outstanding - weigh a ton. Very neutral and lots of current. Haven't heard them with the Hawks but they sure sound great with Vienna Acoustic floor standers. | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Yes, the A5.5 is good - lots of power to take control of woofers and air in the Hawk cabinets. I have heard it's precursor the A5 with some small B&W floor standers and some Revel stand mounts and it was wonderful in both cases. I have heard t... | |
| speakers fo PrimaLuna Prologue One. ProLogue seven's are about twice as powerful as the one. With that said, the Dali's would probably sound pretty good with the ProLogue one as well. I was going to suggest the Ikon or Mentor lines. | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help With the Atoll and NAD you get a lot for your money. The Linn, typically not so much. But if it sounds really good with the Hawks to you, much better than what you have now, then that may be the ticket. Its all about finding the right match.If you... | |
| anyone listened to iTunes Plus on high end system? For what it is worth - it usually doesn't take a remarkably good system to tell the difference between standard iTunes 128kps AAC fiels and iTunes Plus 256kps AAC files. The Plus files usually connect the musical dots better in every way. | |

| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? Jwglista,When you say the alignment is "spot on" does that mean the VTA too? If the cartridge is tipped forward even a little, it can cause it to sound bright. You may be able to "tune" the sound more to your liking by adjusting the VTA a bit up a... | |
| new to me turntable and preamp Get an old Thorens if you can find one in decent shape. I just got my hands on an old one-owner TD150 mkII and it sounds better than most of the new models out now costing up to about $1000. Really really surprised at how good this old thing sounds. | |
| A new CDP after my Rega Apollo or a new DAC? Have you listened to the latest generation Naim CD5i(italic)? It will be different than the Apollo - not necessarily more detailed or refined, but more bounce and rhythm and a little more musical. I have a soft spot for Naim gear and the house sou... | |
| Preamp recommendation Look at the new NAD C 165BEE. This is a really nice piece for the money. Or look at the Cambridge Azur 840E preamp.If you are looking at Adcom - try to find a used GFP-750, those are pretty good. | |
| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? I think this is really fascinating. Putting a finer set of points on the discussion:1. When did quality "HiFi" first enter people's homes in reasonable numbers?2. When did "HiFi" or full spectrum recordings become widely available?3. When did turn... | |
| Preamp Out-Amp In RCA Jumpers for Integrated This is a REALLY GREAT IDEA - one of the best and simplest tweaks I have ever made. I tried the Audioquest jumpers and they were an improvement over the stock bars, but some custom made silver wire jumpers I am using now are just the cats meow. To... |
