| Innersound Speakers Like Ejlif, I too had a pair of Innersound Eros. Mine were the Mk II Active version. And like Ejlif, I ultimately sold mine for the same reason he did. Too beamy a radiation pattern. They do sound very good if well placed in the room and if you si... | |
| 1970's Audio Research Equipment, worth having? I have owned an SP-3A-1 since 1974, and in 2003 I had it upgraded to an SP-3c. I also own an LS-15. Lately I've gotten the bug to upgrade. I am thinking of selling both, adding a few $, and buying an LS-26 (used). Any thoughts ? Would the LS-26 be... | |

| turntable skipping with footsteps I had same experience as Wwshull. The target wall mount shelf solves the problem with the lp-12. I don't think you can use an lp-12 on a wood floor, unless the floor is heavily braced and the turntable "stand" is directly on a support pillar. | |
| What would you upgrade next ?? Thanks again for all your responses. Here is my reaction to your comments so far:Some say start at the front end, either a better CDP or an outboard DAC, followed by pre-amp. Audiofeil says no, upgrade the speakers. Say I can get $2500 for my Adag... | |
| What would you upgrade next ?? I am truly amazed by the responses this thread has generated. The question is, "if my system gives my goosebumps, why change it ?" My experience has been that you won't know the detail you are missing if you have never heard it. Like trading up fr... | |

| What would you upgrade next ?? Sugarbrie:Yes, the ARCAM does have a digital output. Budget $1500 to $2000 for a DAC. Can I improve on the DAC that's in the Arcam ??Thanks,Mabonn | |
| What would you upgrade next ?? Sugarbie; I do have a TT. I didn't mention it because I wanted to know if the digital chain is optimized. But, since you brought it up, here it is:TT: Linn LP12 (purchased new in 1977) w/ Lingo power supply & trampolin baseArm: LOCI by Psionic... | |

| Acoustic Zen Adagio owners/re: amplification I am using an Arcam FMJ CD-23T (cdp), an ARC SP-3c preamp, and an ARC VT100 Mk II pwr amp. I just replaced the output tubes in the VT100. Re-set the DC balance, and re-set the bias. It's sounding great. I am always looking at what to upgrade next,... |
