| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? Assuming the question was turntable only, yes. Probably the Technics SL-1000RE-S. Plus a new cart and phono stage. A few things need to align to make that ... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @bigtwin Very interesting, thank you. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? That's a very nice amp for those speakers, congrats. Fellow Harbeth owner - I'm seeing/hearing similar results. I think the "low" sensitivity of Harbeth's isn't that relevant with well-matched, high-current SS power which is exactly what you have ... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? What Harbeth's do you have? | |
| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts @oldaudiophile I've got a print of the vintage Maxell tape ad (i.e. "Blown Away") matted & framed, hanging in the room where my sound system lives. Very cool. I remember buying various Maxell cassettes, I forget all the model names but ... | |
| Help with high end bookshelf speakers Assuming divorce and murder are non-starters, may I suggest Harbeth 30.2 XDs. -They are known to pair well with Hegel (I believe Harbeth shows their speakers with Hegel) -I've compared them in my home (a large open plan space) next to my 40.3 XD... | |

| Food: what does the typical audiophile eat? @xenolith I’m jealous. Just got back to the USA after 2 weeks in Tuscany. Produce here is mostly tasteless in comparison. | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? @lanx0003 Statements like the one you made could potentially destroy their dreams. Let's bring this back to planet earth shall we. The global audio consumer market doesn't give a hoot what I think. My potential to destroy anyone's hopes and ... | |
| Your Ultimate Phono Preamp: Which One Would You Choose? I'm very happy with my GoldNote PH-10 w/PSU-10. I'm using balanced outputs, and it is dead quiet. I was recently tempted by a killer deal on PH-1000 but I've got other priorities right now. Now I'm intrigued by the BMC MCCI and glad the extra on... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? @lanx0003 You're kinda helping my case...but my claim was that my gut (intuition) tells me the Company is in it for a quick buck as opposed to a long-term strategy of making high-quality gear and earning a good reputation. It is how I feel. I don'... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? @ghdprentice I have zero evidence but my gut tells me Eversolo is nothing more than a short-term private equity play. Maybe a HiFi Rose knock-off. Their About Us page on their website is informative. Meaningless company description and the same s... | |
| Eversolo DMP-A8 vs iPhone plugged directly to integrated amp - why no difference? I just tried this. I said "hello". The response was "stop listening to nutcases on Audiogon" | |
