| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget P.S. agree with earlier post about younger guys getting great vinyl collections from us older guys one day. Trying to get my CDs and vinyl into Discogs now. What a project! | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget I have collected vinyl for 47 years, lots of it used, and VPI unipivot arm is the way to go. Amazing how it tracks any slightly warped lp. A record cleaning machine is a must in your future budget. Current setup is Scout 1.1 (though I would love ... | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? The first version of the Acurus DIA-100. I bought it along with the Acurus CD player (also the original version) right after they were available. I paired them with a pair of Snell E-IIIs and it was my first decent stereo system. I still have the ... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? I too have a Primaluna amp (Dialogue Premium) and have Martin Logan Electromotion ESLs, no subwoofer, and like the sound. I also have Spendor S2/3s that I use often and they are fast, neutral but detailed, closed box, and sound great. My room is n... | |
| What Will Happen to Your Music Collection and Equipment When You....... Great replies all! Thank you so much! | |
| Help me get started again. Tube amp... Get a used Primaluna. Sold my first 2 and moved up the product line. Even the early little Prologues are solid. | |
| How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days? Great discussion! Ties right in with my recent post!! Thanks folks. | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos If it takes KT150s get the Tungsols from Upscale. I have used KT88, KT120, KT77, 6550, and EL34s in my PL Dialogue Premium and the 150s are great. Balanced and the midrange is sweet, no zingy top end and no bloated bass. | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? I have the Chinook and upgraded the tubes to Phillips NOS. Just bought my second Soundsmith Cart - the original Zephyr is on my VPI Scout 1.1 now (Zephyr is made for unipivot arm) and it sounds great. Have Primaluna pre and Dialogue Premium power... | |
| Tune of the Day Mofi - Letter 23 originally written and done by Shuggie Otis on his Freedom Flight Lp. Fantastic record and IMO, much better. The entire LP is super. Shuggie incredible talent. Wrote and played most instruments on LP. Johnny Otis his dad. Look Shu... | |
| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models I am on my third Primaluna amp and have used EL34, KT88, KT77, KT120, 6550s and KT150s. Favorites are the 150s in triode mode, great mids, and EL34s. These two are keepers. Eyed many a 300b amp. Thanks gentlemen for this post. Learning so much on ... | |
| My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers... Used Spendor SP2/3s and tube amplification | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... Sevs, google the band Tauk and check them out, you might like. Also Perigeo, an Italian fusion band from the 70s. And Hawkwind (Nik Turner recent stuff also) Lemmy's origin is Hawkwind. And of course any early King Crimson. | |
| Shopping for new speakers You mentioned you dont want to listen to 'boxes' and 'wife acceptance' was important, speakers that 'disappear' (I assume imaging-wise and not visually). Audition some Martin Logans. I have the Electro Motion ESLs and really like them. Small footp... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. I power my ML Electromotion ESLs with a Primaluna Dialogue Premium power amp (not the HP model) with KT-150 tubes (24 watts triode mode and 48w ultralinear) and it sounds great and I prefer triode mode. I also use the same amp to drive a pair of S... |
