| High Efficiency Options? High 80s is not high efficiency. It’s only average at best. Think mid 90s to 100 db. Even if you aren’t going to listen loud, higher efficiency translates to better micro and macro dynamics even at lower volumes. At the upper end of your budget y... | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? @grossman616 How did we ever live without the wisdom of your 85 posts? | |
| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno Contrary to popular belief in this thread, when Klipsch Heritage speakers are set up and powered appropriately they excel at all genres of music. Care must be taken, but when you get it right, the payoff is worth it. | |
| Awaiting a 1st impression but I am reasonably familiar with the main-stream brands, Of course you are. And you made my point. We are talking about a cottage industry here. Why don't you tell me what your suggestion would be for these high end companies when it comes to ... | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? Thanks @bdp24 I always look forward to your input on most subjects. | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? You have some serious hard reflection points in that room. I would bet it sounds like an echo chamber. Good luck. | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? You nailed it. My first pause for concern was the room as you described it. No curtains or carpet makes for a very lively space. If you are addressing that, we can cross that off the list. The second one is the streaming configuration. You’d be mu... | |
| Is there a DAC ranking list? From the description of your room/system, you have bigger fish to fry than a DAC. Just sayin...... | |

| Awaiting a 1st impression Who gets the prize for build quality appearance? I, for one, have never liked the look of PL gear. That more than the MIC aspect has kept me from ever trying any of their stuff. @boostedis If you haven't heard of Aesthetix gear, it's more yo... | |
| Is an unbalanced preamp a bad thing? riley804 1,103 posts 05-16-2022 at 02:41pm odd that all of a sudden you think of this. A lot of his queries are "odd", to say the least...... | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? Confusing, yes! Thanks for all the replies and info. It looks like a Classic platter/bearing are in my future. Unless a used SDS pops up, that might be as far as I go. | |
| $5K KUZMA TONEARM FOR ONLY $690! Gryphon Diablo for Only $699! Might help if new members had to wait at least 30 days before posting.... I don’t think that would help. If your inclination is to be a low life, scamming piece of crap, 30 days won’t change that. | |
| Turntable noobie...what advice do you have? For sure get a record cleaner. And you’ll need a protractor of choice. I have a very nice Dennesen Soundtraktor but they are made out of unobtanium now. There are lots of other good choices out there. Maybe some liquid stylus cleaner too. I hope... |
