| Phonostage Recommendations for my PS Audio + Thiel setup I agree. Given all the PS Audio gear, which you presumably enjoy, why not stick with them? | |
| Can i plug Turntable into AR ref 5se phono input? Seems like the pre amp would out class the turntable and phono stage if you were looking for new. I’d suggest looking for a used setup (here on Audiogon?) lots of great uses TTs and carts (if you’re willing to get used). Also many many phono stage... | |
| Hi-Fi Lo-Fi Have you considered that there just aren’t that many people here that know about the less expensive products? That’s not being elitist. If you go to the Porsche forums and ask about your Kia, no one will look down on you, but you probably won’t ge... | |
| Hi-Fi Lo-Fi I don’t find the site particularly elitist, but sure, you could go to Steve Hoffman forums for a more engaged group discussion around more affordable audio HW. Why is it so bad to have a place where people confer on higher end products? It’s not l... | |
| Triangle Theta vs. B&W 805D3 with Luxman tube amp If you already have the amp, why not get the speakers and see what happens first? | |
| Triangle Theta vs. B&W 805D3 with Luxman tube amp I am biased. I own the 805D3 as my secondary room setup. They are an astonishingly good, balanced, neutral speaker that sounds wonderful with a tube. If your room is relatively small, I think 10W is probably fine if you aren’t listening at very lo... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? What’s wrong with the Audio Desk? Seems to get the job done way better than the Okki Nokki I’ve been using. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? This is still on my current rig, RP8 + Quintet Black, but still, just amazed at the quality of the recording and performance. Getting an Audio Desk cleaner are the same time which will probably make it sound even better! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just listened to Karajan with Berliner on Don Quixote (1966 SLPM 139 009) and wow is this a wonderful recording and pressing. Can’t believe it’s from 1966. And it doesn’t get much better than Strauss. | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup I heard the Lyra and Koetsu on totally different systems so I don’t think it would be fair to compare them directly. Both sounded wonderfully detailed. At least in the system that I heard the Koetsu is was incredibly rich and musical. Mids for mil... | |
| Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup Don't know if anyone is still following along on my journey here, from an RP8 with a PC-1 as my initial thought. I ended on something much more expensive, but I think it's going to be wonderful.AMG Viella V12 Turbo (I'm a Porsche guy, myself) w/ K... | |
| Rotel RB1582 mk2 vs Emotiva XPA2 gen3 Having heard the RB-1582 mk2 for many months in two different rooms in my space, I don’t feel like they can really make the 804D3 shine. There are plenty of amazing used amps in this price range. It’s be helpful to understand how much you’re willi... | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers B&W 705 S2 are pretty amazing speakers at 2500 new. Plenty of low end for a small space. | |
| Rotel RB1582 mk2 vs Emotiva XPA2 gen3 As it would have it, I have owned both (and still have the Emotiva). The emotiva currently powers my home theater setup and drives 805D3s. The Rotel wasn’t much of an improvement over the emotiva and the emotiva was 5 channel so more useful. Sold ... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner Has anyone compared the Audio Desk vs Degritter? Considering them both for about the same price. |
