| a better interconnect cable I strongly encourage you to check out Hapa Audio with their Ember RCA cables fitted with KLE Absolute connectors. To say their new design is phenomenal would be a complete understatement. Even in a modest system like mine, the addition of these ca... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects I’ve heard a bunch of recommendations for the same stuff over and over, yet when it came to where I dropped my hard earned $ for interconnects it was Hapa Audio that blew everything else away. Known more over on AudioCircle, Jason is a one (possib... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? I have one of the last batch of their Sol turntable. From what I've heard in the comparable range, the Sol blows away the competition. It's no question that Rega, Thorens, etc. make nice turntables, and I know if you dropped some $ tweaking them, ... | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel I recently just built a set of his NX-Studio speakers. Holy balls are those things absolutely amazing. Comparing them to anything I've heard before would be an insult to how much better they are. They are so open and transparent sounding it is unb... | |
| Lyra Delos or Hana ML @russellrcncom If installation is a necessary feature for you, check with local shops and see if they install cartridges they do not sell or if they only offer that service on their own sales. Most would be willing to do it for a small fee. Honest... | |
| Lyra Delos or Hana ML If you can find a Benz Micro Zebra on sale, that one is super nice. Smooth, never forward sound but without missing any of the detail or the musicality. Mine was stupid expensive compared to what I should have spent, but every time I listen to it ... | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter @gladmo which power cables did you try before settling on the Zavfino? | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? I just added a 2nd SVS SB2000 to my system and it's so much more balanced now. I'm running them as a stereo pair right next to my mains. I'm able to run them at a lower power compared to the one single so it doesn't excite the room modes nearly as... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Biggest upgrade change this year was upgrading my turntable to a Schiit Sol and went total overkill and put a Benz Micro Zebra L on it. Holy shnikey that thing is good. Like I said, complete overkill but I really wanted to see what the difference ... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) Just another response of someone suggesting random components to look at, but for an affordable phono stage check out the Project Tube Box S2 and replace the tubes with Gold Lions. Definitely a big step up compared to a basic phono in an integrate... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation Take a look at Hapa cables. I bought a Breathe Copper and a Quiescence Copper with the upgraded connectors for my system which is quite frugal compared to most here, but holy crap did it make a huge difference in clarity without any harshness. On ... | |
| Tonearm adjustments on the fly Probably not what you’re looking for but my Schiit Sol has all of those features and punches way above its weight in the sound quality category. Mine was the last run of pure b-spec after all their beta testing improvements and then went through w... | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. How about RCA cables. Check out Hapa Audio cables, specifically the Quiescence series. Even in my budget setup they made a world of difference in resolution and soundstage. | |
| Budget Phono preAmp +1 for the Project Tube Box S2. Replace the tubes with a set of Gold Lion from Upscale and you have a real decent setup on your hands. I also bought a linear power supply for it and that bumps it even better. | |
| MC cartridges I bought my Benz Micro Zebra through Osage Audio. Dude knew his stuff to help me match to my tonearm and found one on manufacturer demo for a solid deal. Definitely a salesman directing my choice to higher $ than I wanted to spend, but his advice ... |
