| Pre + Amplifier Recommendation I don't like low power tubes with high sensitivity speakers,the sound is not heavy or visceral enough for me. I find the combo of a tube preamp with solid state power provides the best of both worlds. If you like to listen loud and FEEL the music ... | |
| Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500 They have a Brand new un opened REGA RP6 with Exact Cartridge and the upgraded power supply for $1500 on this site right now! That is a awesome deal! I might buy it myself ROFL. Ask anyone you cant go wrong with a REGA they are solid, great soundi... | |
| Ortofon Red on Thorens TP16 tonearm "This arm isn't good enough to justify spending on the higher priced cartridges"......... I find this is not true If you have upgraded the tables wiring and possibly rewired the TP16 also. This Arm can then be used with the cartridges mentioned an... | |
| Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500 You might find a used REGA RP6 for that price, otherwise go with a REGA RP3 and put the extra savings into a better cartridge for it. I use a RP3 with my McIntosh/Dynaudio system and it is awesome! | |
| JL Labs vs. REL I wouldn't buy a REL because they have really gone DOWNHILL since the Britainia series (B1, B2, B3). Go with the JL sub. | |
| Sound quaity : OPPO 105D vs ALPHA DAC new/old Tough question as everyone has different taste concerning sound. But when it comes to digital it pays to stay up with at least the current tech. The OPPO uses the ESS SABER DAC's and it has XLR audio outs. Plus it does a lot more awesome stuff tha... | |
| Ortofon Red on Thorens TP16 tonearm My Brother uses the Ortofon Bronze with this tonearm and he loves it. He uses a AYON Intgrated tube amp with JBL Century 100's. My other brother uses this same tonearm and has the GRADO Prestige wood body (this IS the cartridge for the TP16, IMO) ... | |
| sub hookup question Because the REl is connected through the main amp out puts the Amp dosen't see the sub...so all is well :-) | |
| DAC to pair with MA6600 I would suggest you buy a Universal player that uses the ESS SABERDAC chipset. A lot of great products can be found, from the $200 Audioquest Dragonfly (dac only), and the $500 to $1200 OPPO line of universal players ( I would get a OPPO BDP105, i... | |
| Preamp: adjustable impedance + GAIN MODWRIGHT 36.5 with separate tubed PS. | |
| Looking for bookshelf speakers The reason the Totem sig #1's sound so dam good is that they use a Dynaudio 3" voice coil! Also, Totem uses some NASA developed material to dampen the inside. And they are very well put together. Used they are a steal! Best speaker under $2000 tha... | |
| Looking for bookshelf speakers Totem Acoustic Model 1 Signature loudspeaker ....Your welcome. | |
| Improvements to OPPO 105 DARBEE? Yes I agree unless you want 75" or better stick with 1080p. I will say the 4k TV's are expensive because most have up scalers to convert all 1080p to 4k. The point is the Oppo IS ready for the future. Also,the Oppo uses one of the best DAC chipset... | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade I would do both really. Which one is your choice. I use the Dynavector 10x5 on my Rega and it is awesome! I have never been a fan of Monster Cable (multi stranded) Signal cable makes a silver series for a lot less money than Anti Cable and you wil... | |
| REL Magic I 2nd the Signal Cable SPKON connction. Signal Cable makes an awesome upgrade for the REL. I own a B2 and I love this cable it has the SPKON connection on 1 end and the amp side has bananas for super easy hook up, the cable is stiff and about an i... |
