| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Anybody else remember Dave Wilson demoing the Sophia at the 2004 CES show with a cheap Parasound amp and an iPod? Guess the equipment didn't matter much that day. | |
| Unipivot tone arms I have owned two unipivot arms. Previously on a Nottingham table and now on my current VPI. Once you get used to them, they aren't any problem at all. | |
| I am sad (I almost said, they would make the country join BRICS and slap a huge tariff on them, but they would be considered political here so I didn't say it) Yep, the mental giant that you are, you didn't say it... | |
| Does this make sense Not sure what your contraption does? | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead All things being equal, mono blocks should have an advantage. But it’s more about the quality of the amp(s). A better designed and built stereo amp will outperform mono amps of the same output. And it’s rare that you could compare mono and stereo ... | |
| Ø Audio anyone? Huff is all over the place. It’s really hard to take him seriously. Everything he hears is the “best ever”. Until a month later and it’s the next “best ever”. | |
| Piano is just 300 years old? There's more. Their history of AC/DC jumped from the first album in 1975 to Back In Black in 1980. They missed a whole lot of good music with Bon Scott in between. | |
| Phono stages: Hagerman and Sun Valley 1616 possible giant killers @elliottbnewcombjr dehavilland doesn’t even mention a phono preamp on their website. | |
| Green Mountain Audio As a previous GMA owner myself, I would like updates too. | |
| I feel for you @carlsbad2 Indeed. What happened? ...leaders tended to be scientists or lovers of science instead of lawyers and political science students. It's too easy to get a degree in gender studies and work at Starbucks while living in your mom's basem... | |
| What Speakers are Available Today Similar to the Von Schweikert DB99? I have owned many pairs of VS speakers going all the way back to the original VR4. I had the pleasure of hearing the DB99 in a dealer showroom ~2000 or so. I still have memories of those speakers being driven by VAC mono blocks. That was some impr... | |
| Are Headphones Fit for Serious Music Listening? I have a pair of B&W headphones and a nice little Fiio headphone amp. I use this setup when traveling on planes or in situations when I'm away from home in a hotel room. That is the extent of my headphone listening. It sounds pretty good and w... | |
| Technics 1300G on it's way !! Congrats, that table is on my radar. Looking forward to your thoughts. | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" I agree. Last year I bought GIK diffusers, absorbers, and corner bass traps. Made a huge difference in the performance of my system. | |
| Speaker upgrade? I heard the Stratus Golds many years ago. I was not impressed. I would say it’s probably a lateral move at best. |
