| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? Hey cleeds, what do you mean, "was"? lol! | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp My recommendation always tends towards finding the best value. Spending $3500 to hopefully make a pair of $1800 difficult to drive speakers maybe sound a little better. You love the sound of the tube amp you already have. Imagine how much more wit... | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? Amps, cables, speakers. A Jedi cares not for these things.The music, flow through you it will. Happy you will be. | |
| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER Turntables as a category are very small production run items. As such they absolutely have to command really good profit margins to be worth making at all. This explains why if you look back across the whole field you find the best most highly reg... | |
| Tubes or stick with S/S I went tube integrated around 20 years ago. Very happy with my Melody but if it ever died that PrimaLuna integrated would be my first stop. And, from what I've been able to gather, probably last. Seems to me they have absolutely nailed everything ... | |
| Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile? I don't love being an audiophile. Don't hardly even like it. At all. What I love is music. Specifically, the cathartic pleasure that some music brings. It just so happens that even as hard as this is (building the kind of system that can deliver t... | |
| Professional Turntable Setup ( Chicago area NW suburbs ) My first arm was the Graham 2.0. For those who don't know, the Graham is designed with a removable arm wand and comes with a Graham-designed machined aluminum and acrylic alignment jig. The acrylic part is scribed with marks for overhang and track... | |
| Old tubes vs New tubes Well, whatever those OS tubes had going for them it wasn't magic. It could only have been manufacturing. Which is all known. Like the amps themselves, it is all right there out in the open. So you do like EAT did and copy the you know what out of ... | |
| Replaced CDP w/ Transport; Now, Soundstage Changes Dramatically w/each CD. Why? If the component does not have threaded feet you will have to come up with a shim or two under one or two feet. Here we see the difference between Audiogon's reigning theoretical physicist and an actual, you know, physicist. The actual physici... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 Interesting thread. Forever turntable. Under $2k. And surprisingly, a whole bunch of people seriously think there is such a thing. Even more interesting, they're right! My Technics is from 1975. My Teres is from 2003 http://www.teresaudio.com/fame... | |
| Why is the high end stratospheric? I've seen interviews where a manufacturer would say that his dealers in Asia told him he didn't have product that was sufficiently expensive, and urged him to introduce a new model to fill that demand... Its a fact. I got a whole bunch of stuff... | |
| Good starter amp recommendation The one suggestion that will make by far, nothing else even comes close, the biggest difference in sound quality, is to just totally drop all thought of multi-channel or Home Theater or anything even remotely suggestive of those. HT is a wasteland... | |
| At what point is an external D/A converter warranted or beneficial Well first of all your choice of wire is only making a bad situation worse. Since you have vinyl, if you want to hear what I’m talking about get yourself a few records on the AudioQuest label. Terry Evans Putting It Down, or Doug MacLeod You Can’t... | |
| best sound with an ipad into my home stereo. Well first of all I think you need a calendar. April Fool's was weeks ago.Or if trolling then you need better bait. Because the answer to this one is simple- you get one of those ear jack to RCA adaptors and connect your RCA to your amp. Just like... | |
| Old tubes vs New tubes New matched set of TubeStore Preferred Series KT88s went in last night. TubeStore labels each tube with their matching number. When ordering I let them know my current set is 33, and so the ones they sent are 33. Sweet! Bias hasn’t been checked in... |
