| Von Schweikert VR-4SR or Revel Ultima Studio 1 Unfortunately musical and N802 don't belong in the same discussion. VSA's are great sounding speakers. | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros Doug, thank you for your very thoughtful and well crafted responses in this forum and thread. | |
| Moving From AVR to Amp What is your ultimate goal? Do you want your incremental investments to improve 2-channel performance? If that is the case, you may want to keep your ONKYO and look for a good 2-channel integrated amp with a HT pass-thru feature. This allows you t... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Congrats on a fantastic cliff dive into vinyl. My prediction was for 18 months in so, although we already hit the over, it would be fun to know where things will stand come the fall of 2012. As for phono stages, check out the K&K threads. | |
| Money well spent on Amp or Speakers What is your goal? If you want to listen to 2 channel music then your thinking tubes is good but that doesn't exactly fit with your speakers. In the end you will likely end up having to replace everything but speakers first would be the way to go.... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? No doubt that good sounding gear can be had for a low amount of money but pushing performance and refinement is going to cost money and the curve gets harder to climb the further you go. Enjoy what you can afford and work hard to make what you spe... | |
| Shindo and Joule Electra Preamps FJN04 can you post the link to the audiophile rulebook? I am interested in how much of a price difference there can be before a comparison is no longer allowed. Is it based on a dollar value or is it a % thing? | |
| Phono Input or new Phono preamp? Sounds like you are getting down the road with vinyl. I started out using the MM section of my integrated first with a HOMC benz glider then a clearaudio maestro MM. This was certainly excellent for getting going, getting used to my turntable, and... | |
| Shindo Preamp - Home theater bypass I thought you could special order a HT bypass with a Shindo. | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Let us know what direction you took and how you are doing with your vinyl adventure. This could be our version of a drama. | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Anybody want to do a side bet on the total money he has into vinyl playback (not software) in 18 months? I say the over/under is $5K and I would take the over. | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Go spend some time with someone with a good vinyl set-up and really observe what it is all about from both a logistical and enjoyment perspective. If it floats your boat and you can make the commitment then strap-in and get ready. I don't believe ... | |
| heavy metal I bought a sword LP brand new and will gladly give it away. | |
| DeVore Silverbacks I have had devore silverbacks for 3+ years. They have made me almost forget about speakers because they do everything so well. I have been shocked by how deep and tight the bass goes. | |
| Attention K&K phono pre owners: I should reserve a lot of commentary until I have had at least a couple of weeks with the "new" unit but on first impressions here goes. The first thing I noticed on the very first song that the needle was in the groove for was that the bass was m... |
