| AUDIOPHILE OR JUST CRAZY ? geurds,If your system sounds good to you, that is the #1 thing.Great you are satisfied.Maybe, by definition, that makes you a non-audiophile.After all these decades of upgrading, I still think of what I can tweak.AUDIOPHILIA-THE SICKNESS! | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Talk about beating a dead horse!Some like the benefits of digital and some like the benefits of vinyl.And many appreciate both.How many times must we rehash this subject?My opinion, which I have shared before, is that vinyl is a visceral experienc... | |
| Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something? You want to couple the speakers to the floor.IsoAcoistics will decouple as will any soft things like springs.For a night and day improvement go with Stillpoints Ultra Minis. They screw into the speaker.They will couple and turn the vibration to he... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? The more I listen to my Bakoon HPA-01 the more I love it.This is THE SS amp that can satisfy a SET guy or anyone.It leaves me imagining just how spectacular a higher powered Bakoon would sound in my main rig. Meanwhile I am enjoying it with my hea... | |
| Pure tube phono preamp HiI love my Atma-Sphere MP-3. Clean, pure, musical and accurate.It has an excellent phono stage. No need for a separate PS. | |
| Lamm LP2/2.1 vs Luxman EQ-500 Hi Don,I don’t have direct experience with either but have always admired the work of Vladimir Shusuren of Lamm. He maintains a small, ultra high quality company dedicated to the finest in High End Audio. He knows what music sounds like and is abl... | |
| Tonearm suggestion for Garrard 301 schedule ll oil bearing? I currently use an Ortophon RS309 D 12” arm on my Woodsong 301. Believe it is the same as a Jelco.I like it very much but are upgrading to a Triplanar SE at more than double the price. Yet to install the Triplanar but think it will be a significan... | |
| How old are you? Funny, my first system when I went away to college in 1971 was a Pacific Stereo $199 special that included a cool Lenco Swiss TT. Look what they are going for now rebuilt! | |
| An audio rack that really does make a difference. Yesterday I got my long awaited SRA VR platform for my Woodsong Garrard 301.OMG! Can’t believe the improvements. This is the single most significant change in my system, period.I am using an old so so Polycrystal rack with the SRA VR on the top sh... | |
| How old are you? 67Interesting that the majority are in their mid to late 60s.Actually thought that most were retired.Some sure take a lot of time out of their days to write volumes! | |
| Looking for a speaker for my LM 845 Premium There is no reason not to buy a used speaker.if you just go for a speaker that is pretty flat 8 ohms. Focal are nice. What is your budget? | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! Congrats on the choice of a Woodsong Garrard,I have his 301 in the very substantial plinth. I prefer the look and feel of the 301 over the 401.But I understand the performance is comparable.My plinth is the dual arm board one. Excellent design and... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Vinnie knows what music sounds like and is a very nice guy, I was very impressed by his early battery powered small amps. I bet his new integrated is excellent, Think there is an option of tube choice. If you can use a 300B, I would highly recomme... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Magicos are great speakers but Rockport makes a highly musical and real sounding speaker.every model is great. There is really no reason not to buy used for half, | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Some more thoughts on Bakoon:I clearly understand that a headphone system is quite different from speakers.At least with headphones, the Bakoon HPA-01 headphone amp has amazing qualities well beyond my Berning MICROzotl. However, when it comes to ... |
