| Tube Amp Recommendation for a solid state guy I can also recommend the PrimaLuna - I went with the Dialouge 2 myself. I would not recommend the Rogue, though, unless perhpas you listen to alot of hard rock or metal, they are very edgy sounding. | |
| Need help with a rack You might take a look at the Sanus Natural Furniture stuff. | |
| Reag P-5 with Ortofon 2M Bronze...??? I bought a P5 and am very happy with it, and I also got the Rega Exact 2 cartridge, which does a very nice job, and just about any dealer should give you a deal on it since you are buying the table, too. | |
| Vienna Acoustics or Proac I almost bought a pair of the ProAc Studio 140's - they are great, and would get my vote between those two choices. | |
| Turntable selection advise I would second the Rega recommendation. I believe you can get the P1 for under $400. This would be a much better option than any of the cheap motor-driven Technics, etc. Belt-drive is the way to go. | |
| Phono Pre Amp? I would vote for the Bellari VP129- great sounding little tube that I have seen used many times here on audiogon for under $200 usually. | |
| Album Storage I don't mind the data entry, I have already done it in an Excel file. I was just wondering if there was a good program out there (perhaps LP specific) that does not rely on the barcodes, as this Collectorz seems to, at least from glancing at the w... | |
| Do speaker cables really matter? I agree with Carl109 - simply renewing the electrical contact could have made the difference, so try your Kimbers again. | |
| Album Storage Anyone know of a good software program for cataloging records on a Mac? | |
| Bellari Hum I have been using one for six months now with no problems, and it sounds great. Nice to know there is a fix if there is a problem, though! | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Yes, I read that. Very interesting. That is in large part what piqued my interest. For me, the jury will still be out until I have heard such a system, though. As I said, I am unfortunately not able to do that in my own set-up, currently and for t... | |
| Our home system: How good it is? Raul, that thread is fascinating - I just read through the entire thing, including a couple of the external links. I will admit that I have never heard such a system as yours and some of the others described. None of my friends/family that are aud... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I would vote for the Rega players, I chose the Apollo myself, but the Saturn is even better. | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost Like alot of folks here, I would say you don't have to spend anywhere near 30-35K to put a great sounding system together. If you buy smartly, it can easily be done for under 10K. My brother put together a system that only cost him about 4K, I think. | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 The PrimaLuna amps sound great, and are very user-friendly, if you want to stick to the tubes. |
