| Time to upgrade the old Dual turntable, looking for opinions. REGA P3 with a Dynavector 10X5, a 2.5mv high output MC cartridge is ..pure audio excitement!!!! | |
| Which is better Coax or Optical cables Hands down without a doubt Coax or RCA is way better then Toslink/Optical for handling digital signals. the list in order is XLR,Coax,Optical. Toslink is last because it adds the most jitter of all. (jitter is digital distortion) | |
| MC cartridge input - Lyra Delos or AT Art9 (or higher AT) I would say go with what you know. You like Lyra a lot? stay on that path and you cant go wrong IMO. The Lyra and the ART are going to sound different, not one better then another, so why jump to something you may regret later when you know the De... | |
| Is a low output MC superior in sound quality to a high output MC?? LOMC is better than HOMC, IMHO. System quality and gain are key.Matt M | |
| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? If you actually want the amp to be your last one AND work for 30 years with no issues, then you should go with a McIntosh. (this is what Mac does best....Amps!). Just make sure its a newer double balanced design. (lol newer..they have been making ... | |
| Recommedations for bestt interconnects for phono cable inputs at $100 or less Morrow Audio $50 or less!! WoW is what you"ll say! | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. And I always thought it was the DRIVERS that were expensive, they claim to put a lot of R&D into those drivers......hmmm go figure. My brother Demo'd a pair of SL5s against his OLD re furbished JBL Century 100's and could not see spending the ... | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. Ive had my Dynaudio Contour 3.0’s for going on 14 years ....they are still as solid and even more beautiful then the day they arrived at my door. I am so glad I purchased these (after I listened to a pair of Totem Sig's, they use drivers from Dyna... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! REO SPEEDWAGON....Thank god I dont have to listen to this @#$% anymore......I hated how some radio stations back in the 80's would play it non stop! Also, why are you all hating on STYX?? this band started young in High School and Had a Big 1st hi... | |
| Which pre should I choose? If you want to inject some real warmth and feeling, try a tube pre amp. Sometimes having the right tube pre amp with a solid state amp can really bring awesome results! Proper matching of impedence should be no problem, with the right unit. I know... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? I have a Dynavector 10X5 on a REGA P3 with the Manley Chinook Phono Pre, 45db is more than adequate for the 10X5! (this is my goto backup rig) I also have a Pro-Ject Xtension 10 with a Dynavector 20X2 Low .3mv and 60db is plenty for that cartridg... | |
| Alternative of the pre/power amps Tonlab ,If you keep your M1's then all of these combos you mention are very good indeed (i like the Krell least of the above they run Hottt). I however would also include a pair of McIntosh mono blocks MC500w or MC1200w or the MC600w stereo amp wi... | |

| Ferrofluid tweeter As far as hearing goes....Tweeters only make a ssssssssss sound, they don't handle freq's that shape mid range vocals, they do have to move very fast and handle a lot of power so tweeters are the most rugged driver in a speaker, I would put the fl... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection I'm fairly certain that you will use your 2nd pre amp outs to the E110 directly, then you will be able to set up the sub using the external controls to adjust the E110 FULLY (you are going to have xover control)! Sending another pair of signals fr... |
