| Is upgrading worth it? It would be very helpful if we were to know your system details, room parameters, and musical preferences. | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! I had a clearaudio maestro before and it does what you are looking for and it is a great cartridge. | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ Your headline is not accurate because it is totally misleading in that it asserts that no parts (note the plural) are stocked for discontinued products. The headline should read: "Simaudio doesn't stock replacement faceplates for discontinued prod... | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ I can see how that could be frustrating, however, your headline is misleading and unfair to simaudio. You are implying that it would be impossible to fix any discontinued product and no critical parts are made available. Is this a fact? The most i... | |
| New Stuff Trackeer, what are your musical preferences? What is your room like? How much can you spend? Would you consider a used speaker? | |

| DeVore Silverbacks Dchattleton, thank you for your post. This is the exact issue that I have been struggling with recently. I own a VAC Avatar Super which works very well with my Devore Silverbacks; I have always been intrigued by Shindo and happened upon an Apetite... | |
| PSB Imagine Minis or Audioengine A5+? I just bought the audiogenie A5 bamboo to replace my Swans that died. I am going straight from my macbook pro headphone jack and listen passively mostly to spotify (higher rez option) and iTunes. I am sure it would be better with a DAC but this is... | |
| Replace my Usher be718 ? Given what you said, I would concur that the Devore Super 8s should be auditioned. | |
| Replace my Usher be718 ? What kind of music do you listen to and what are your electronics like? | |
| If you would have to choose between Focal and B&W. Tpreaves, I almost fell on the floor when I saw your post because I was thinking the exact same thing before I clicked on the link. |
