| Dusting gear and turntable @waytoomuchstuff +100! I'll make sure to get after my wife about more frequent vacuuming! LOL It would be easier to hire a French maid. My Rega P6 has a dustcover which does a pretty nice job for the TT itself. I'll grab a swiffer and some f... | |
| Used tube preamps, Cary, AR, Aesthetix, Wells...........or? @billpete There is an upgraded Cary SLP-98L on USAM for $2k. I've been eyeballing it for a while now, surprised it's still available. Good luck with your search. | |
| My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms Some beautiful speakers you have there - congrats! I will pile on that the SF are just not pressurizing the room, which when you put it all together from your description, is quite large. Try walking around the room and stopping here and there.... | |
| Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s Geez, I need to get some new friends! Congrats. Nothing to add, except that I'm listening to my Rogue Atlas/Perseus combo right now and it sounds great. I would definitely be in for some higher power Rogue gear if it comes my way. Interesti... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Fun thread! Geez too many favs to name just one. Robert Plant/Zep -How many more times -Since I've been loving you -etc Geoff Tate/Queensryche -Queen of the reich -Take hold of the flame -etc. Ian Gillan/Deep Purple -Strange kind of w... | |
| Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM Geez that’s quite a website for being a scam. Somebody spent a ton of time putting that all together. I guess if they dupe a few people out of a few thousand $ now and then it’s worth it to them. Surprised it’s still up and running. Just for s &... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? It's not 'tonight', but Jean-Luc Ponty 'Aurora' right now. Sounds great! You can always rely on Ponty for excellent production value. | |
| Main speaker placement- fundamentally wrong? When i first noticed some tinnitus in my right ear I messed around with cupping my ears with my hands and other things. Just wanted to try and get a handle on what was going on. For me, cupping just makes things louder and more irritating - YMMV... | |
| Maggie LRS vs .7 Thank you all for the thoughtful feedback. I’m in a large basement room app 15ft x 40ft x 7ft high. So, lots of room to fill but not very high. I have a REL t/9x sub and would like to add another in the near future. Have the LRS set up app. 4ft... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? Wow, lots of nice new gear - congrats! Much to my chagrin, I've had nearly no time for audiophilia this year. But, recently managed to pick up a mint Sutherland 20/20 phono pre to replace my Phonomena II. So far, with limited listening time no... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! @thecarpathian thanks for the tip. I too hope to have time to explore at Axpona this year. Missed last year’s show. Darn work! ;-) | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! I've been trying to head towards a lower powered tube system but finding high sensitivity speakers I like without breaking the bank has been tough. So, some used high sensitivity speaks and el34/84 or 6550 amplification would be nice. Perhaps a b... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps Sounds like what you are looking for is definitely a tube setup. With those speaker choices you are in good shape. Lots of good info provided already. I will chime in with my two tube experiences. I had a Jolida 502 brc (entry-level for sure) ... | |
| Audio stores near Bloomington/Normal Illinois? Thanks | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? @harpo75 Sounds like you and I have similar tastes in music. I use to be a metal head but it’s been mostly prog rock, fusion, and jazz for the last 5 or so years. There are some great resources on YouTube like the Prog report, Sea of Tranquilit... |
