| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? I have also been looking at the Circle Labs A200. Maybe a hybrid amp is the answer to provide a mix of good power and some tube warmth. | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice If anyone has any insight into the tables I listed originally, I'd love to hear some feedback on those. | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? My issue is that solid state is a dealbreaker for me. I vastly prefer tube amps with what I typically am listening to. I don't love how clinical SS have been when I've tried a few. It's possible there are SS amps out there that don't suffer from... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice @dodgealum yes, definitely good points. I am slowly working through upgrading my entire system. Currently have a phonomena II+ but looking at a ModWright PH 9.0X as an upgrade (though I'm still debating a few options from the Gold note PH10, Whest... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice @vinylshadow yeah, it definitely looks like the sovereign is the one to get doing some quick research. With the origin live silver tonearm, it looks like it would run about $9500 - just converting from GBP, but usually there is a markup for import... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice @vinylshadow I have. The Resolution and Sovereign models seem pretty nice, but I can only find one dealer in the US that sells them online and they are pretty barebones with no descriptions or data or info on what comes with them (if anything). I'... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice @dodgealum with the origin live silver, it comes in at $3995 new, which is a fair amount less than the other options I listed above. Is it a significant step above the clearaudio concept? | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice @elliottbnewcombjr I will consider lightly used (in fact, I typically search used before buying new), but not looking to buy vintage. I lack the ability or tools to deal with repairing or restoring them. I would prefer to buy with an arm already i... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? @tennisdoc56 that is good to hear. I've been considering pairing with a NAT HPS amp but had some concerns about whether it would be enough power to drive the fynes (or tannoys, frankly). | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? I own the Fyne F704s and they are remarkable. I have heard great things about the 502SP from owners. Do try and listen for yourself. @grannyring Circling back to this post to see if there were any updates, I also noticed you are parting with yo... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? I purchased a pair of F- 702s before the last price increase, and I am very pleased with them, driving them with a Rogue Audio Stereo 100 Dark. Superb imaging, sound stage, and tonal qualities. Depending on the recording, the performers appear ... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? Are the Turnberry's priced per pair or per single speaker? Depends on the dealer, but most that I've seen price per speaker but require them to be sold in pairs (which always confused me a bit). I have had Turnberry speakers for 5 years and... | |
| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? Revisiting this topic a bit as I’ve been doing some more thinking... I don’t necessarily NEED an integrated amplifier or a preamplifier beyond my phono preamp. It’s just convenient since I do stream music occasionally for things with no vinyl ava... | |
| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? @jonwolfpell I don’t know your speakers but another thought might be a Rogers High Fidelity EHF 200 Mark II integrated amp. Rogers is selling directly a used one w/ their full lifetime warranty for $8500 or best offer. I own one & it’s subs... | |
| Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry? @charles1dad Yes, I do think that is what I am leaning toward at the moment. It's at the upper limit of my budget, but willing to stretch a bit for the right one. I'm just not sure that a solid state will give me what I am looking for, at this p... |
