| Clearaudio Emotion SE: Good choice for Classic Rock? Ok then, I would Highly suggest a Dynavector 10X5 for a lower cost option that would still work very well, on a RP6. Matt M | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? MARK, I agree with elevick... 85db speakers are not going to work well with tube power amps! I dont care what brand. Get a SS amp with proper input to match your pre amp and I assure you, the issue will be gone. Matt M | |
| Can "Refurbished" Thorens turntables sound better, and worth taking a chance on?? IMO, It really depends on your equipment (how resolving) because if your gear is GOOD I think the classic tables make a lot of sense. (I have a TD 160 with grado wood prestige $600) A table like the Thorens TD160 with original tonearm TP16 and wir... | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Wow Mark, you have a Lyra Delos on a Techno Dec? For a little more ... $2500 , you could move up to a GYRO SE pre owned/ used WITH a better arm ?? That is where I would go. Upgrade the turntable to the level your cartridge deserves man! Matt M | |
| Clearaudio Emotion SE: Good choice for Classic Rock? REGA RP6 w/o cartridge ($1500), Dynavector 20x2 MC ($1000) ...PRAT off the charts! AND under budget! Your welcome :-)Matt M | |

| Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5 Rega makes turntables...Go with the Neat’s. Also, I will say any speaker you can audition in person is a big plus. If it sounds good, it is good, feel the force J :-)Matt M | |
| Just moved to an apartment need speaker suggestions British made speakers from Harbeth , Spendor, Epos, Also, Canadian made Totem Acoustic Model 1 Sigs, might be just the ticket, all of these manufactures make speakers that perform great in smaller rooms.Matt M | |
| Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95 BEERNUT, choice well made! Now you have true versatility. Seikosha, I’m not sure who you spoke with about the differences in the audio stages of the Oppo 95 vs Opp 105? They do not use the same dacs! Let me assure you they are wrong and you are g... | |
| Speakers for Heavy Metal You have awesome electronics for some Dynaudio speakers!Matt M | |
| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? Phil.... MIT's have boxes on them...the only other speaker cable that sounds LIKE those are Transparent Audio cables (they use boxes too). If you get away from cables with networks on them you may find some renewed dynamics in the system. But the ... | |
| Choosing a CD or SACD player over my Oppo BDP 95 The Oppo 105 would be a big upgrade (dual ESS Saber Dacs + dedicated audio out section with XLR or RCA) and you like Oppo, so thats the best sounding red book/universal disc spinner for $1200 on the planet right now. Beyond that I would look to us... | |
| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? Kimber Kable or AudioQuest. would be my answer. Matt M | |
