| Pro-Ject turntables Per Notec..."Anything sold as "Analog Gear" on sites like Music Direct and their ilk are a good indicator of mass produced low quality TT that should be avoided."....Wow, even the Avid tables that Music Direct sells are to be avoided? Because they... | |
| Got the upgrade bug No gear recs from me. I wouldn't attempt to spend the 6K for you. What I like, you probably wouldn't. Especially since we have two different rooms. I will make the following comments though...I think a 3K amp driving a 2K pair of speakers is prett... | |
| Typical Characteristics of a McIntosh / B&W system You have nice components. They sounded great when you auditioned them but in the showroom. So time to explore your room. And experiment with placement of your speakers relative to your listening chair. You already said the room is not treated. Its... | |
| Opinion on Music Hall A50.2 integrated amp Just a thought...Why a whole new integrated? You mentioned that the Exposure you tried sounded wonderful but lacked a headphone jack and phono stage. These things can be easily added.To me, a good amp should be quiet and properly drive your speake... | |
| Help choosing floor-standing speakers. What amplifier are you using? Without knowing how much power you have available, I could not make a good recommendation even if I was inclined to. For example, The Quad 22L's you site in your list have a sensitivity of 88 db/w and 6 ohms impedance... | |
| Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber While I have not heard the new Olympicas, I have auditioned many Sonus Fabers and Vienna Acoustics models. I have found both brands to be more similar than different - warm, lush, very musical. Exactly the kind of speakers I personally like which ... | |
| Phono Stage, Cables, etc for VPI Scoutmaster II? Congrats on the new table & cartridge. I won't comment on the cable, cord & phono stage. You'll get plenty of opinions. But I will on the dustcover since you want a cheap one.Consider having a custom one made by these guys...http://jmkdisp... | |
| Best gently used setup for under $6k Per Bgupton..."I went in thinking I'd buy the B&W 805's, but was blown away by the PM1's"Now your talkin' Brother! Unlike your first post where you were running the risk of starting a popularity contest, now your telling us what YOU LIKE! Way ... | |
| Good speaker to pair with MA5100? A speaker should not sound like it has a blanket over it. Better speaker wire will not magically take the blanket off. Something else is wrong. Before you spend a dime, make sure the MA5100 is properly functioning. If you find that it is, then exp... | |
| Life after ADS The L420 actually uses a 7" Stifflite Woofer along with its 1" dome tweeter. Published frequency response by ADS is 48-20K hz +/- 3 Db. Like I said earlier, it is 6 Ohm nominal, 4 Ohm minimum with a sensitivity of 92 Db.Phasecorrect, suggest you a... | |
| Best gently used setup for under $6k Quote from OP..."What are some good set ups it should consider?"Do you really want to know what I have or want to have. Or for that matter what the rest of A'gon members have or want to have? Give it a few days and you'll have dozens of systems to... | |
| Life after ADS I have history with their bigger brother the L520. Bought a pair brand new in 1980 and still have them. They are still in near mint condition and I just can't seem to part with them. I use them in a secondary system and drive them with a NAD 326BE... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Wow, no mentioned ADS Loudspeakers yet. Especially the L series. Some of my absolute favorites. | |
| U-Turn Audio's Orbit Basic/Orbit Plus I too have not heard one and am certainly not knocking it. But it is what it is - an extreme entry level, budget turntable. To compare it to a $1000 table is just silly. It comes with a $25 Audio Technica cartridge that has a conical stylus. Most ... | |
| Looking for a phono stage to go with my system You're welcome Meambler. I have read good things about the HK 990. I don't know if its better than the Marantz but it is more feature laden and powerful. If it has a HT Bypass feature and your interested in upping your budget, I would sure put it ... |
