| Streaming/DAC Upgrade Thanks for your input everyone, it is much appreciated. After further research I’m torn between the AURALiC Altair G2.1 and the Vega S1 w/PSU. The Altair G2.1 at $2439 is an absolute deal. However, the Vega S1 with the Fusion DAC (discrete ladd... | |

| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. @jeffrey75, I’m in no rush to purchase. I’m enjoying the journey of researching and the hunt for a Turntable that will best suit my needs. One that sounds good to me and is a GVFM. I’m not looking for or picking out and isolation platform, I on... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll I don’t own a class A tube amp but would love adopt one if anyone wants drop one off at my doorstep like an abandoned dog or something. I wouldn’t buy an amp because it ran cool or was ultra efficient. My decision would be strictly based on sou... | |
| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. @rar1, I liked the idea of the Technics 1500c with its hard shell and built in phono preamp. That would give me the opportunity to experience different cartridges and phono preamps. However, I am concerned about the platter wobble issue I’ve rea... | |

| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. I would like to thank everyone for all your input. It’s been very enlightening. When I originally considered getting back into vinyl and before I posted, I was considering only spending $500 on TT and $100 on phono preamp. My current vinyl coll... | |
| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. @jpwarren58, tell me how much do I need to budget to get back into vinyl. I may have to reconsider and stick with digital format. Please keep in mind the budget was only in regards to Turntable and Phono Preamp. | |
| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. @gotog, a while back Rega did not have parts to make Elys2 so they substituted the Exact 2 on the Rega P3 at no additional cost. Some dealers have them and sell them for $1,395. However, some dealers are charging $1,800 for P3 w/Exact 2. That’s... | |
| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. @cleareye2, so true…😂 | |
| Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget. @rar1, I typically always buy new, only considering the Marantz as it looks brand new, and unused. I did look into the 1500c and may have to review it again. Trying to get best bang for the buck at $2,000 budget. Didn’t want to spend less now t... | |
| Integrated vs separates I would keep your Pass X-250 Amp, Pass X-1 Pre even if you think the power is over kill. How do the JM Lab Mini Utopias sound? I assume they sound better than what you had before. A few years ago I went with separates for my Home Theater (Rotel RS... | |
| tube amps for B & W 603's ??? Not to talk you out of going with a tube amp, but have you run you new speakers for at least 100 hours? My experiance has been that most speakers need at least 100 hours of run time before they sound good, and the brightness goes away. | |
| Match of amp power and speaker power handling I am a big fan of quality high power. One can never have too much power. That being said you may never use all the power you are buying, so you don't really need a 300 wpc amp to drive your speakers. A quality Solid State amp in the 100 wpc to 200... | |
| Two Channel System Development Suggestions I would also start with the speakers first. One can never spend enough on good speakers, although there is a point of diminishing return. I have been very pleased with my Veritas V2.4i speakers made by Energy. The B & Ws would be a good choic... |
