| DFW folks - anyone have these speakers I could listen to? The Tannoy GR room at the LA show yesterday was the worst room of show yesterday at LA. Going back today. I'll stop in and see if they got it worked out at all. Jerry Ouch. That's a shame. Sticking with Tannoy and moving up the line was my '... | |
| Fyne 703 vs Sonus Faber Olympia Nova V @overthemoon Yeah, it comes down to system pairing mostly, from my experience. I've heard some amazing SETs with low low power drive some pretty hefty speakers pretty easily, with beautiful results. It's just...not easy (or cheap) to test a ton of... | |
| Fyne 703 vs Sonus Faber Olympia Nova V @overthemoon Great! I've gone back and forth about the Nova III vs the V. I started looking at the III since its price is more in line with the Fyne 703 for comparison purposes, but from what I've read, it's more than worth stepping up to the V if... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice As a quick note - I ended up picking up an Orbe with a Graham 2.2 arm on the used market - above my budget new, but under budget used! Too good to pass up, I thought. Should have it set up by this weekend. @rhg3 I picked up a Hana ML for it for ... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X Seems like the 9.0X will be the way I go! Thanks everyone. | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X @rsf507 i don't think so. I didn't see it there either. Still some places selling it online, but it may be discontinued. There doesn't seem to be a replacement in that price category anymore either with a stand alone power supply from them. | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? Speaking to some other owners of the NAT HPS, it seems like a common consensus is that it can lack some bass power but does have a really nice midrange and really fabulous detail, so a bit torn now. I may end up saving a bit and looking for a dem... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X @blisshifi @laynes Thank you both! That is valuable feedback. I haven't really see any pop up on the used market, so I assumed it either wasn't very popular at all, or people love them and don't want to get rid of them to upgrade very often! | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? @grannyring that's what I thought about Fyne. Totally explains how they were able to hit the ground running since they have all that experience coming from Tannoy, and from what I've heard from owners, they've improved upon it. The circle labs o... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X @paulietunes I agree. I have been given some good recommendations that weren't even on my radar in the past. There's so much gear out there, especially in the mid-range price points. @audiosaurusrex Thanks for the info about the modwright. Pretty... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X @lalitk Interesting. I've never heard of that one. Doing a quick look, it's quite a bit over budget. Looking to stay around the $4500 mark at max with a little wiggle room here and there. | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice @joenies The oracle mk VI is a real beauty. The hifi shop I used to go to a long time ago had a mk 1 in store and even that was really nice - though definitely showed its age. Love it, but they are way over my budget, especially once you factor in... | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? @grislybutter from my understanding Fyne was founded by many ex-Tannoy people, and they brought with them many years of speaker-making expertise with a modernized design. Many of their models are quite similar to Tannoy offerings in design even - ... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Advice @joey54 yeah, I've considered sticking with Clearaudio, but if I was going to do that, I'd want to at least go for the Innovation. I like the thicker platter on that one (and have heard on in person). Just comfortably outside my budget for now. | |
| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? @bjesien so something along the lines of the Cary Audio SLI-100? Not very familiar with that amp, but have heard good things about the brand. |
