| 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 ... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? I got my Bakoon HPA-01 the other day. I am super happy with my Atmas but, man, the Bakoon thing is for real! It has musicality and incredible transparency, it has most of the great qualities of SS-detail, bass, dynamics with no harshness or glare.... | |
| Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT? Atma-Sphere used to make a modified Empire TT in a very heavy metal plinth. Ralph said that the best design uses a very heavy plinth. Think he still uses this DD TT. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 I thought the most interesting part of the SAT TT review was comparing it favorably to the OMA slate and cast iron TT.Has anyone heard that one? | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Hey, thanks for being happy for me! Absolutely, through this thread and the advise given, I was successfully able to make the huge leap away from decades of SET-300B and 45. And being able to finally hear what my speakers are capable! It seems mos... | |
| Preamp recommendation +1 Linear Tube Audio MICROZOTL. Seems you only need the 1 input. Tube musicality with SS detail. Get the NOS tube.Remote is also nice. | |
| Is a balanced XLR cable inherently less critical than a single ended RCA one? IME with SE cables, they do make a big difference. It is not a stretch to say that the change in sound is akin to upgrading any component. I think I will invest in about a $1K used XLR cable.Don’t think I would hear any big change with a less expe... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Well, now I have been enjoying my Atma-Sphere M-60s for a few months. They are destination amps. Right away, I deeply knew that I would never go back to SETs! The Atmas have the sweet, natural sound of SET 300bs with the detail of a great SS amp.T... |
