| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Knownothing,Thanks for the list! :-) HCM has a limited supply of those Creek units on sale for $320. I need to do some research on those. | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Somebody's got an Antique Sound Labs phono mini up for grabs here for $250 obo... a 2-tube unit. Anybody familiar with it? | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Chadnliz,Sure! | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Chatnitz,Yeah, I'd be interested, for sure. There's another Phenomena on sale on A'gon right now for $300, but the power cord got cut and had to be spliced back together, so if you're really going to put it up at $250, give me fair warning! :-) (S... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Knownothing,Wow... a wealth of resources there... thanks... I'll comb through those pages tonight. :-) | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Knownothing,Great to hear from you again, too! Wow, the stuff on the HCM site is really "cheap" (by the crazy standards of this hobby). ;-)Anybody know anything about the Audioquest Coral CQ interconnects and GBC speaker cables? I really could tak... | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Chashmal,It sounds very nice and the build quality is unbelievably beautiful. (And it's amazingly HEAVY!) It'll clearly drive the Arro much louder than I'd ever listen to music, too. This is my first tubed gear and I really know nothing about the ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman,I'm going to try to "finesse" the WAF by surreptitiously moving the media cabinet out from the wall, too, to disguise the fact that the speakers are now further out. LOL!Really, the Arro's sound awfully nice so far... I'm delighted at the p... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman,Turns out they were about 18" from the back wall. Moved 'em another 6" out and the transparency, imaging and soundstage all took a big leap forward. Everything started to bloom as it should. They sound much better (whew!) and the bass doesn... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Asa,Yes, cabling is next. Powerline 2 was "pretty good stuff" back in the '80's. But the lengths I have now are way too long, so if I need to at least cut and reterminate them if I'm going to use them as a stopgap measure. Again, I don't want to b... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman,Ah, my tutor returns! ;-) Yes, I'll get 'em out from the wall and report back! | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Neway317,I've seen the Phonomena for around $300, used (the one with the original power supply). What about the Jolida JD 9 phono stage? It's a little pricey for my budget (I've seen it for around $375). | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Ethanh,I'll try moving the speakers further out from the rear wall. The cabinet the components are in is about 19" deep, anway, so we're not talking about them being way out in the middle of the room at 2". I thought the Arro was supposed to be fl... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Hi, Everybody,I'm baaaaaaaack! ;-)Well, I'm finally getting to listen to some music!First of all, I sold the PS Audio Elite Plus amp to a very nice person on Audiogon who really wanted to replace her father's old Elite Plus that had breathed its l... | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Chashmal,I wasn't thinking of anything that esoteric, just that Chashmal in modern Hebrew means "electricity." Oh well... :-) |
