| Brag About Your Vinyl Collection Thousands of LP's however it is the hundred or so autographed ones I really value from the experience of meeting the artists. | |
| Mark Levinson 27.5 or McIntosh MC2205 I have had the Kef 104/2's in the 80's. Sounded wonderful with Luxman power amps. Very forgiving speakers so you will be good with both. Myself I prefer the older quality of Levinson and Krell to the Mac | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice I’m a product of the 80’s and a metal head to the core. Having bounced around both home and car audio on the higher end for nearly 40yrs I have found speed to be key. Speaking mainly on the bottom end of the frequency spectrum however there is... | |
| Have anyone tried SPL Audio Elector or Director in a high end setup? I have the Elector and have compared it with a few other preamps I have..... Luxman C-02 Krell KSL Paragon System E (tube preamp) My digital is a Denon DCD S-10 and analog is a Sonographe SG-3 with a Jelco 250ST and an AT VM540ML. Downs... | |
| Klipsch Heresy vs Forte With specific music such as piano or female vocals the older Heresy's are right up there with the best | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds If you are near a Pass Labs dealer you could always compare a class A/B directly to Class A. Pass Labs drop out of pure A at their rated output to A/B and keep going producing more power. You would have a chance to see say what an X line can do, w... | |
| Dream Amps I Could Not Afford 20 Years Ago Now Undesirable Ask anyone with a pair of ML No.33's and let them tell you how much those recaps costed! Amazing amps in their day however expensive to repair and they do require repairs fairly often compared to other amps. | |
| AT-95ML on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon I have both cartridges (95ml and the 540ml) and use a Jelco 250ST arm which is medium compliance. Both preform excellent on the vinyl. Both sound different to each other. The 95 is clean and crisp but the 540 amps it up the level quite a bit. I wa... | |
| B&W Matrix 800 vs the Matrix 801s2 Either older 800 series were simply extensions of existing technology meaning they added more drivers and enclosure volume. Same great sound same great speakers. Extra output 801’s!! | |
| Is there a way to switch one set of speakers between two sound systems? I take the cables out of one amp and put them into another. Pretty cheap and effective! | |
| CODA amp No.8, Bryston 4B3, or Ayre VX-5 Twenty No experience with the Ayre however can tell you the CODA was on my short list of amps. Have had much experience with Bryston and they are good for gentle loads. Not much current or oomph behind them. I ended up with a Pass Labs X350.5 and it's al... | |
| Not sure if I have enough oomph. There is a ton of pop in those amps. Yes adequate for what you need. 2’s are not the easiest to drive out there. I passed up a pair because I didn’t have the amp to drive them at the time. Adding more power won't get a lot more. +3db to double the... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge Your preamp is a nice one! Still have the original JAN 12AX7's inside? Do you run your SUT through the tubed MM stage of the preamp? | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier I have a Paragon System E as well! When you pop off the cover you will see the quality of the build. Point to point silver solder wiring, etc. All very quality components and the sound reflects it. It is on par with quality gear of today because o... | |
