| Advice for upgrading my system My listening time is precious and it is dedicated to vinyl.Think your Sonos is enough for casual listening and convenience.Upgrade your front end!Definitely get a Technics 1200G TT.super bang for the buck and a TT to build uponAnd a Lyra Kleos or ... | |
| Analog Upgrade - Where to start? BTW-Definitely get a SRA platform for the TT. The entry level VR is excellent and the up line is even better. The improvement is not small. | |
| Analog Upgrade - Where to start? The most gorgeous tube sound I ever heard was the Zesto Andros phono stage. The mid line Deluxe is their sweet spot and is very close to the top line just in one chassis not two and can only take two cartridges not four. I would have the Zesto but... | |
| Only one speaker With one amp down for a few weeks, I have been listening to one channel. It would be better to have both but it is not bad to only hear one side. I think that because I have AMTs in my speakers I have a nice center image and the one channel is enj... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 tube rolling IME, it was problematic to roll the 6AS7 output tubes in my M-60.I have always been a fan of NOS,I got a set of 6AS7Gs from Brent Jesse.They we’re not matched and were three different brands as Brent said.As Ralph said, the failure rate of NOS is ... | |

IME, speaker cables are the most important of any cable.I replaced $6K ones with $1200 Silversmith Fideliums.Silversmith says that they are 3 times better signal transmission (I believe) than their silver cables at 1/10th the price.One of the best... | |
| Audio companies or boutique labels for good SQ LPs? Good to know about Audioquest. They don’t have LPs on their website. I have asked for a title list.Will also ask Richard V. | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" Not sure what exactly are the parameters and numbers but, for example, Silversmith says that their Fidelium speaker cables are 3 times the performance of his v pricy cables at one tenth the price.Think it has to do with amount of signal transferred. | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? I used to use a Tannoy super tweeter with my Tannoy Westminster Royals. Even though the st’s frequencies were far beyond my hearing, the st had a significant effect on the lower frequencies.Think the nodal points became more pronounced. | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" WAF is indeed an important and valid term.She has gone to great lengths to make our home lovely and livable.Happy wife, happy life.Even if I wanted to bring in Tekton speakers, she would never stand for them. For example… | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? My Tetra 606 speakers use a Mundorf bi polar AMT tweeter.(and an ATC dome midrange)They are very open and airy. | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? George,What have you used the PT with? | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? Those plasmas look excellent. Then there is the v important issue of the crossover. And already $4500 why $600 for shipping?I guess a/the major thing is how light the moving elements are.So, nothing compares with light as air. | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? I’m not in the market for another speaker. Have my destination system including my speakers. Just wondering about the performance of different tweeters. |
