| SF Olympica III to Amati Tradition I've gone up the SF line from Venere's to Sonetto's and Olympica's Nova's...the sound improved drastically- clarity, details and spacing. | |
| Starting from scratch and say $5000 There's a lot of excellent gear. I believe the answer is yes. I've owned and enjoyed McIntosh and now have some Moon gear - they sound different and I enjoy the change. I recommend you listen to different equipment. I think you have an amazing... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica nova 2 VS Sonus Faber Cremona M Loudspeaker vs @Op I have Olympica Nova V (previously Sonnetto V) and listen to a lot of hard rock/heavy metal and rap in addition to other styles. I've heard Olympica Nova 2s and think they sound great. I'm sure there are other excellent options as well. Enj... | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ @john1629 I have owned both and have enjoyed each immensely. Each has a 'house sound'. McIntosh makes awesome looking and sound stuff; however, I have found theirs a beautiful 'veil' over the music. Moon is very dynamic and transparent and ... | |
| Stereo or monoblocks I have monoblocks though it’s due to sound performance per dollar. There are excellent stereo amps and crappy monoblocks. If you can audition - I recommend it. | |
| First impressions of the Audio Desk Record Cleaner I have had good luck with mine - my record collection is small (300ish); however, most are old enough to be the President of the United States. I tend to view it as ‘insurance’ for my sanity and hopefully the needle. And if anything it was che... | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ I’m considering upgrading my M400 amplifiers to the 860av2 and frankly it’s because of the upgrade program. I have Moon and Sonus faber and if cost was no object it would be ARC. | |
| Power cords known to produce good bass I find some arguments for and against cable’s interesting. if your rationale is why would the OEM not include the best cables - then you know the answer is ‘they don’t have to’ in order sell their products. That isn’t the same as cables no... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wish you were here - Pink Floyd | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ I like Moon products- I agree with some of @ghdprentice comments that you may want a bigger jump. The 340i is a great value for the dollar and the 600i is wonderful sounding but not sure if it’s just an incremental versus step change. I don’t... | |
| I just moved and insurance agree with ghdprentice I called my insurance company and even though I have a high value policy for my watches - they stated my stereo equipment is covered so I have receipts scanned on google and pictures for details on brand, model and SN so th... | |
| Top turntables under $2k There's a lot of excellent options. I highly encourage you to research and listen. I personally own a Rega turntable because I tend to believe the philosophy of low mass; and I know VPI makes some excellent turntables... Enjoy the process. | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @bdp24 I'm appreciating your comments and I've heard DeVore speakers and the SuperNines sounded awesome. There are so many excellent speakers available, so when I saw the price the speakers didn't make there way into my home. To be fair there's ... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often The market is pretty efficient at selecting products folks buy or don’t. How would you propose increasing the rejection rate of hard to drive speakers? Isn’t this a hobby for enjoying and can anyone else really judge the best speakers for someon... | |
| Moving on from Parasound P5 Dac or Preamp I’m unclear on your goals and I will share what my goals were and how I solved it - during my upgrade path I explored upgrading my DAC- Moon 280D. I replaced it with a Moon 390 - it’s a preamp, streamer/DAC with a phono stage. Great piece and ... |
