| How often do you upgrade turntable ? I’ll give another tangible priority: I have spent money on collecting vg+,NM copies of Blue Note 1st and 2nd pressings- I’d estimate the value to be about $35000. 80 albums. And I play them on an 5K - 6K analog front end. i think i prioritized th... | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? There’s no point if you’re already happy with the performance , and what’s best is subjective and may not be achieved by equipment upgrade. If you live in a city apartment, you’re not going to be able to suppress ambient noise below 40 db, so I al... | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? Bought an Origin Live Calypso back in 2008, only upgraded the tonearm since. I enjoy collecting records and listening to music more than gear hopping. There’s no point to it after a certain level specially with other priorities in life. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Grant Greene - idle hands Freddie Hubbard - open sesame Bill Evans - waltz for debbie Chet Baker - sings Jackie McLean - destination out John Coltrane- coltrane’s sound Joe Henderson - page one | |
| Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype) These are very uncertain times for most people.

| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 Was the T A vs Soulition same place just a swap or different? Basically comparable or no? Else I think you just want us to tell you to buy the Solution- which is ok. If you like it, and can afford it, buy it. | |
| Soulution 331 vs Gryphon Diablo 333 I’d add the T+A HV3100 into the mix. | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS Oddiofyl doing god’s work to turn a generation of South Korean salarymen and their children against audiogon forums. | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS It’s not transparency you’re after as Sabre chips and well built dacs that use them are transparent beyond human audible range. | |
| Need a Streamer Place your speakers so the tweeters aren’t directly firing towards your ears. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT No. | |
| If you HAD to purchase a used (over 4 years old) DAC, what would it be? Rockna Wavedream | |
| Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others) NAD C700 v2 or M3, blueos based. | |
| Alta Alec vs Legacy Signature SE vs Elac Vela 408.2 No compromise with the dual AMT drivers IMO - and they recently upgrade the midrange driver and cross over. Not a drop in replacement I checked. You’ll get the vest speakers in this range without a doubt. | |
| Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120 Maybe Focal |
