| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 As an update, I was distracted from this however finally got around to boxing my ST-70 to be sent to Ralph. It will go out this week. I will keep all informed as this project progresses. May try to find a PAS-3 thereafter. Oregonpapa, maybe I need... | |
| what pre-amps to try I agree that the UV-1 is likely another fine candidate, I failed to mention that as I have never owned or heard one. The LS1 also used 6SN7 tubes. Also FWIW both are made in the US. And as I consider this, the UV-1 is far less expensive I believ... | |
| suggestions on upgrading my system I believe the weak link might be the phono/preamp stage in your integrated. Obviously different ways to attack this. Maybe getting a outboard phonostage 1st. Also can the amp be separated from the pre in the HK? | |
| Mogami Speaker cable question The canare is so inexpensive I would try it 1st and compare anything else I might try to it. Not withstanding the offer by maplegrovemusic which was very generous. | |
| Best budget DAC +1 runnin, I have been wondering the same. Another poster asked the same and we haven’t heard back on this. I doubt any of the DACs mentioned would be better than the that in the P5. Different maybe. Would require an additional cable. Which one? | |

| Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out? Joe, do you own Sonus Faber speakers? | |
| $800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system I agree with you on your thoughts regarding monitors (bookshelves). I also have a smaller room and though my budget is now greater than yours, it wasn’t always so. I still use monitors and am considering implementing subs. Quality bass costs! As ... | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? +1 ctsooner. Didn’t see your post until after making mine. | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? I agree with the idea of waiting until you move prior to purchasing speakers. Might even wait on the amp purchase as the amp/speaker interaction is important. The room/speaker interaction is acoustic. The amp/speaker one is electrical and acoustic. | |
| HT help! Budget 10k Budget for 2 subs. | |
| HT help! Budget 10k Driving higher sensitivity speakers can save many $$$ when driving 5-7 channels. | |
| what pre-amps to try I would consider Audible Illusions LS1a as one option. The upgraded (Factory) Jolida Fusion is another. Obviously, there are others. The used market opens greater possibilities.I am currently using a Jolida Fusion with my BEL 1001MK5. I like the ... | |
| LAST record preservative improves the sound I remember starting using LAST in 1983. Also believe I have a bottle from that period. DO remember thinking it made an improvement however haven’t use any in some time.. | |
| When I have seen people listing their systems lately I stream to find new music. Once found I buy the CD. I rip the CD to both a MACBook Pro and MAC Mini as AIFF. ALso have a disc spinner and use it often when not wanting to boot computer. I like to own physical copies, as this is the way I have bou... |
