| Integrated amps- Hegel H100 or Vincent SV-237? I had a Vincent 226MK integrated and loved it. Wish I never sold it. | |
| Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear My 1st high end system, purchased in 1970, consisted of Dual 1219 turntable w/shureV15 type II, Teac 4010s tape deck, Sansui AU555 integrated, and Pioneer DX63 speakers. Wish I had purchased Dynaco ST70, AR turntable and 3a speakers. Curently ha... | |

| Any comparison Bel Canto U-Link and Aidiophilo 2 As with Lewinski, I also have an audiophilleo2 w/purepower hooked to dac without coax cable. Very happy with this converter. Have not heard the ulink. | |
| Upgrade CDP, or go with outboard DAC? Both aforementioned opinions have merit. Depends on how one wants to configure ones system. However, I would buy a DAC and use the Arcam as a transport. Greater flexibility down the road. Both DACs you are considering are highly regarded. FWIW, I ... | |
| Rethinking my set-up - Advice Welcome If it were me, I would be looking to buy a integrated amp (not much over 5 years old used) and a DAC and use the Sony CDP as a transport. Should not be difficult to sell the Rotel gear. As Czarivey indicated, define what you are hearing for with a... | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? I agree with Charles 8/17 post. There is so much great gear at all price points, analog and digital, that I believe it hard not to enjoy this hobby. Also true for the quality of music. The fun is seeking out what you like. One needs not get consum... | |
| Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old I 2nd the Sound Dynamics 300ti. A great speaker if one could find a pair. I regret selling mine. | |
| Turntable Buying Advice For $175 and no need to ship I would refurbish the Thorens. They cant afford to build budget TTs the way they used to. | |
| Best HD for music storage/backup. Thanks Kijanki. I think I will backup using USB for now. probably get a Western Digital passport drive. Most important for now is to have the backup. Metrella, I think I’ll try the superDuper. Thanks. I’llget back to everyone once I have accomplis... | |
| Best HD for music storage/backup. I want to thank all responders. To clarify, I do not share data between computers, and I have a time machine backup disk for each. The Mac Mini is dedicated to my primary system and is used only for music playback. The MacBook Pro serves as my gen... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Want to thank the OP and contributors, really enjoyed this thread. | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? Macrojack, I agree with you on your position concerning diminishing return in audio. If one wants to make improvements on a current system, the desired outcome need to be defined and addressed. | |
| What would you upgrade? I must agree with Noromance. Quality of a system begins at the source. If my budget for a turntable, arm and cartridge is $700, then I would budget no more than $1000-1500 on amplification to include phonostage. Probably about the same for speaker... | |
