| What is Technics thinking? It may be great, but will it slay all other TT’s at the $4K mark?We all are entitled to our opinions, but from the audition I had, I believe it can slay many. And if one wants a new Direct Drive turntable, then yes, it will slay all other 4K table... | |

| JBL Everest DD67000 vs. Avantgarde Duo Mezzo I walked into the suite at AXPONA to hear the JBL's already thinking I wasn't going to like them. What I heard in that suite blew me away. The JBL Everest DD67000'S driven by Levinson mono blocks were the best speaker I heard at the entire show.... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a budget Right now I'm using a Jolida FX-10 that my friend is letting me borrow. IMO, not enough power for either the Dali's or the Elac's. If your are strongly considering buying this amp from your friend, then start looking at easier to drive speakers t... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a budget With all due respect hfarrior3, I asked you in an earlier post what amplifier you have as this is what is critical in selecting a pair of speakers. I also advised to watch out for rear ported designs, as these will require stands too.You have not... | |
| What is Technics thinking? But weren’t those priced around $600? Can the new one be a "sure thing" at $4,000?!?If the below report is correct the first 300 units of the 1200 worldwide were sold out in Japan in 30 minutes. Not bad for a reengineered version of an icon that h... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? And the "Are audiophiles still out of their minds" thread really wasn't posted by its author asking for advice. It was asking for opinions. It really doesn't pertain to the discussion we are having now. | |
| Why do you give bad advice? I see this happening more, so maybe it's just a sign of the times that many don't take the time to read the entire post and only respond to the title.On the other hand, I see more and more posters ask for gear recommendations, especially speakers,... | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a budget Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a decent pair of bookshelf speakers. However I'm on a budget in the $400-$500 range;I'm sure all the above suggestions are fine recommendations given from folks that have experience with them. Do you have any e... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt All hardwood is nature's ideal dampening material. It can absorb and dampen vibrations coming up from the floor. I would think the reason why maple is the most popular is that it is readily available and the most cost effective. So its used the... | |
| Does anyone run 2 or more turntables... Does anyone run 2 or more turntables at the same time? What is your purpose? Sure, I have two. Besides just being fun, here are the practical reasons...* One is manual and the other is a semi-auto. The advantage of a semi-auto are obviously when... | |
| Sopra No.2 Overpriced? Really interested in purchasing a pair, good bang for the buck or overpriced when compared to speakers at similar price point?I don't know. Are the other speakers in their price range they are designed to compete with overpriced too? Only the mar... | |
| Am I the only one to opt-out on the Sopra 2's? And your post clearly illustrates why speakers are so subjective and why one must hear them rather than ask for recommendations. Which is a question so often asked in forums.I thought the Sopra 2's were the best speaker I heard at AXPONA in their... | |
| Pioneer SA9100 & TX9100 repair near McLean VA? (Worth it?) I think your neighbor made a wise decision. Good for you for helping her out. | |
| Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs Bdp24, no, certainly not on my part. And I should probably not have included the words "and therefore expensive" in the excerpt of the statement that I quoted from the earlier posterI am the poster Al who wrote "therefore more expensive". Not bei... |
