| JBL L65 vs Forte III vs Cornwall IV I’ve had them all. I miss the jubals the most. Just a great speaker with those crystal slot tweeters. Too bad I sold them. At least my buddy bought them and loves them. | |
| What s the best Class A integrated tube amp over 80W Check out a cayin h80a integrated. You can find them used for about 2-2.5k. I’ve heard them and they sound excellent. Dual mono design as well. Good luck | |
| Brand new VPI Prime 21 or used Clearaudio Innovation compact Will agree uni pivot designs are odd. I have a vpi classic 3. It’s awesome. If you like tinkering, a high end tt is great. The on the fly vta is genius. You have a nice system. Have fun on your analog journey. | |
| Analog vs digital? Analog for chilled out, catching a buzz, smile on your face listening. Digital for convenience, adhd, going from 1 song to the next listening. Both have their place in the enjoyment of music. But for me, analog is the best. I just can’t beat my VP... | |
| Is it my amp or my speakers? That krell integrated is garbage and I own krell amps. It is cheaply made and sounds nothing like a krell. It’s fatiguing and bright and makes you want to pull your hair out. I’d dump it. Good luck. | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? Roxy music/ avalonjeff Buckley/ gracepil/ albumbruce cockburn/ stealing firethe cult/ love the church/ starfish. | |
| High gain preamps [30db +] Agree with Conrad Johnson. I have a cj and a krell Pam 5. The cj is much louder at 9 o’clock then the Pam 5. I’d say 30%. | |
| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? A modern 3k tt will trump any of those vintage ones. They are pretty though. | |
| Basic technical question about digital source signals Give me a moment.............. | |
| Warm romantic & detailed Sonus Faber olympicas. Warm, detailed and beautiful. | |
| Relatively small speaker with a "big" performance: Role Audio Starship SE model Agree with teajay. Good 2 way monitors disappear. I’ve got 2 different sets. They are so good people can’t believe the sound coming out of them. They make me smile. I’d love a floorstander that could do the same. I’ll look into these. Thank you | |
| Step me up from Paradigm Studio 20 v4 bookshelf, seriously. Check out a pair of music culture rl-21s on usaudio. They are magnificent sounding small loudspeakers. I heard a pair at Rmaf years ago. Blew my mind. If I needed a small pair of speakers right now, I’d buy them. Best of luck | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed Pledge works great. I use it my head. Keeps it nice and shiny and dust free. | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? Music culture rl-21. Some of the best stand mounts I’ve ever heard. From Germany. Davis low/ mid drivers from France and usher silk dome tweeters. Just spectacular. Very hard speaker to locate in USA. I’ve got some diapason adamantes. They are awe... | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection We’re not a bank Jerry. Contact bill deal at first federal. A little movie reference for y’all .cheers |
