| Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range? Hey, Do I need to get a Schiit Mani Phono Preamp for MC and MM Cartridges?Buy it direct from Schiits. It will save you money direct from them in stead of Amazon. I did and it came nicely packed and safe.https://www.schiit.com/products/mani | |
| Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range? I’m partial to the Thorens TD-309 which has won many awards. I have an entry TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue that impresses me, so the TD 309 would be my next move if, that is if I didn’t enjoy the 203 so much.https://www.thorens.com/en/thorens®-td-309.h... | |
| Best songs to test speakers You could add Patricia Barber's debut album, Cafe’ Blue to the album list. I’d like to get a vinyl LP to compliment my CD.And add The Patriot w/ Mel Gibson to the movie list. Superb close vocal miking and sound effects. | |
| Smooth sounding integrated <$1k I see so many suggestions from A'gon members. I never knew. I'll keep an eye out for something that shows up used locally and try one. | |
| Tube Integrateds with Bass Control McIntosh | |
| Smooth sounding integrated <$1k Lots of great recommendations. I'm getting a feeling which are smoother yet detailed amp.BTW, What Hi-Fi said the Brio has an excitable high end and needs careful speaker matching so my MS Silver 6 may not be a good match. | |
| Smooth sounding integrated <$1k I'll look into Yamaha and Bel Canto too. Looks like I have lots of options to further my search for an amp. Thanks | |
| Smooth sounding integrated <$1k Marantz sounds good to me. Thanks | |
| Smooth sounding integrated <$1k Thought about Rega Brio. Is 50wpc enough for 18x22x9h room w my speakers. Yamaha looks interesting. Is it smooth or bright and dynamic. | |
| Smooth sounding integrated <$1k As I said in the post, for tv and movies. Speakers may change, but now are Monitor Audio Silver 6. | |
| Stand for B&W 805 D3? I'd say look for good welded steel stands that you can be fill w/ sand. I'd personally stay away from steel stands that are bolted together. | |
| As good as it gets My all tube integrated amp took some time to sound it's best, whether its the internal components or tubes I can't say. Then I could begin tweaking my system for better performance. I sounds wonderful now. After I spend some time listening to my H... | |
| Disappointing On Mcintosh......help Like with any equipment there is good combos and bad. The Mac/B&W paring is quite remarkable to my ears. | |
| You are invited on a "trip down memory lane". Pass Labs Aleph 30, AES AE-3 DJH tube preamp, Thorens TD125 MkII w/ SME 3009 improved arm, and Altec Lansing Model 15 loudspeakers would be at the top of my most missed list. Would like to hear how these products fair today. |
