| Less expensive alternatives to Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV? @speedthrills People like to talk. Rarely about the original question. But they like to talk. | |
| Less expensive alternatives to Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV? @elliottbnewcombjr Hi - All nice stuff. What would you recommend driving these speakers with? The OP presently uses an old in the tooth Pioneer Elite amp (presuming AV, could be wrong). Would that do the trick here? Since $7.5 k was a ... | |
| Less expensive alternatives to Klipsch Heritage Cornwall IV? My house limit is about $2K these days. I have an earlier version of the Zu Audio as my main speakers for the last 7 years or so. People tend to love them or hate them. Very energetic listen, if that is your preference. You would not need to (... | |
| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? And I here I thought an example of a trick question was ... have you stopped cheating on your wife? | |
| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? @freediver - Hi. Musings for a Sunday night. What influences my decisions somewhat these days, is my age (68). My listening habits have changed (spend less time listening, as opposed to more). If I were to drop major cash, I doubt I would get... | |
| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? As I watch Summer Slam, my mind ponders this further ... Let's say we are considering these 3 integrated amps ... McIntosh MA5300 Integrated @ $7000 Prima Luna Evo 300 Hybrid Integrated @$7000 Heaven 11 Billie MK3 Hybrid Integrated @$2750 ... | |
| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? Components are not created equal. Rather than keep this in the theoretical, what exactly are we talking about? The only general rule of thumb; buy what is best built ... buy what breaks down the least. Rich | |
| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Amplifier / Separate Phono Preamp Hi John - I started out the same way with the Pro-ject DC Carbon and Ortofon Red. Is there anything that you are not satisfied with? It’s easy to say replace this and that, and you can always find better than what you have, but is it worth i... | |
| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Amplifier / Separate Phono Preamp Hi John - I liked the sound quality overall of the Rogue Sphinx v3 quite a bit, but I found the on-board phono preamp to be prone to hum and noise. Couldn't get to the bottom of it, so I replaced the amp. For a $2000 hybrid amp, I would imagine... | |
| MM Cartridge recommendation Very much enjoying the Goldring E4 with my Technics 1210. https://www.soundstageaccess.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/1330-goldring-e4-moving-magnet-phono-cartridge Rich | |
| Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why? I find myself agreeing with @mahgister on this one. In previous posts over the years, I have spoken about the need to place my speakers on top of 6 foot high bookcases, to keep them away from my cats who have scratched up speakers. No need to sh... | |
| Ceramic cartridge phono stage options? @pindac - thank you for the link. Wish my dad were alive to add to this. The 'Chief' in his shop, resting his arm on a Philco record player table top console. |
