VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER!
100k for a turntable is stunning. 100K would buy a rather nice collection of recordings.  
Bright High End Speakers = Bad Room?
Professional studio techs check their mixes on several different speakers.  The goal here is to provide a pr9duct that "translates" the artist's music to there listeners.  A "good mix" or "master" will "translate" well on different systems.  i hav... 
Bright High End Speakers = Bad Room?
The room might be the problem. Every room sounds different.  Interesting discussion. I have 4 two channel systems in 3 different rooms.  Moving the same speakers ...my  B & W 703s and Monitor Audio Silver 10s and a couple of others to differen...

Slight Hardness on LP's
Through the years I have found the sound quality of LPs to vary radically especially on rock music.  Back in the day, I had reportedly good quality turntables ... both belt drives with separate highend arms and a couple of Denon AC direct drives, ... 
Integrated Amp for small space for VA speakers
What a lucky man you are!  At low to moderate levels you will not need hugh power. You need a stable amp that can deliver current to feed your awesome speakers.  You need a sub out for that sub.  You budget should get you there. The subwoofer is l...

Peachtree Audio 2.0

Peachtree Audio 2.0
The Nova 150 I purchased was a display model with several hundred hours so it was "run in." 
Peachtree Audio 2.0
I purchased a Nova 150 last Saturday and returned in Monday.  I was shocked by how bad it sounded! I expected the piece to make my Monitor Audio Silver 8s really sing.  Strange "splashy" highs.... veiled midrange ...lack of dynamics. I have been v... 
Bought a pair of Magnepan LRS. Should I buy a Schiit Vidar or Bryston 3B-ST?
Several responses. 1.  Bryston has been around many years and their amps are known for their rugged build quality, reliability and ability to deliver high current to current hungry speakers. Back in the day, some folks felt they did not sound as g... 
Has anyone heard the new peachtree nova 150 ?
I purchased a Nova 150 yesterday and spent several hours today listening. From the first jazz track, I felt something just did not sound right.  Next, I set the Decca 2 right beside the Nova 150 and compared the sound using my "reference" recordin...
