Upgrade platter/sub platter or cartridge on Rega p2?
I know the question may sound similar, but removing the P3 from the equation , what may be the better options.  I’ve already tried the P3.    
Upgrade platter/sub platter or cartridge on Rega p2?
It’s been some time since I posted here but the Rega P2 discussion caught my interest.  Now I’ve owned two Rega Planar 3 tables, a long story, and in both cases I found the sound rather “dry”.  It’s the only description that comes to mind, even on... 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
Always an admirer of Bob Dylan, several years ago he played in Chicago and we couldn’t wait.  It was the worst performance by any musician I’ve ever seen. On top of Dylan’s mumbling, something fully expected, the music was loud, but not in a good ... 
Tonearms: Ripoff?
@madavido you clearly have the wherewithal to purchase an inexpensive tonearm to go with your TA table.  Spring for a Jelco and judge for yourself.  I’d buy an SME V in a heartbeat if I had the cash and the right table to pair with it, and there’s... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
The new Ti and S series have what looks to be an RS232 interface where the wireless adapter plugs straight into.  
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
REL offers a 60 day satisfaction guarantee trial if you purchase directly from them. Just purchased a REL T/7i and am getting it dialed in.  So far, so good.  REL offers a dedicated wireless feature, included in some products, but also available f... 
Subwoofer recommendation
I owned the Velodyne for over a year until we downsized to a smaller place.  Very good customer service too. Sent me a new grill quickly when one of the posts was damaged in shipping.  Quality was very good.  
Subwoofer recommendation
Velodyne's EQMax-8 might be worth looking into. Auto EQ and remote helps set up immensely.  
Choosing tube power amp
Primaluna Dialogue owner running KT-88's, couldn't be happier. I went through Musical Fidelity and Naim before settling on Primaluna.  In hindsight I should have stretched a little more to get to the HP. On the other hand tube rolling power tubes ... 
Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp
Classe SSP30-mkii For $300 on another forum.  Nice.  
Looking to upgrade amp, need help.
Rogue Audio Sphinx is pretty amazing. New at <$1500. Very dynamic with a touch of tubes.  Primaluna Dialogue is a touch over $2000 but all tube goodness. I have a Primaluna Dialogue Premium, really elegant with a smooth but accurate response. B... 
What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems?
I'm a fan of Black Cat Silverstar digital cables. I have two of their 75 Ohm SPDIF cables and recently purchased the Silverstar USB.  Neither are outrageously priced, under $300 but you'll be hard pressed to find any at a discount.  I suppose many... 
Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers?
Little late chiming back in on this thread, lots of music to listen to 😀I am am now running all Gold Lions in my Primaluna. Six of the ECC82/12AU7 Gold Lion reissue and four KT-88.   Beautiful mids and highs, bass is deep and accurate when the rec... 
Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers?
Just bought a lightly used matched quad of Tung-Sol KT-120 for my Primaluna Dialogue Premium. Initial reaction is wow, where did all that bottom end come from?   Next reaction was where did that sweet accurate midrange go?  Looking for something i... 
Tara Labs cables sound
Absolutely love the sound of my Tara Labs RSC Prime 800 speaker cables but I would not characterize them as a high end or mids tamer. Very neutral but detailed with wonderful low end response. Question for Audiolabrinth, if you're out there. Any p...
