| Beginner Looking For Set Up Advice! If you’re adamant about the $1k budget, then yeah I’d look at the Outlaw linked above. If you can stretch it some, check out the Peachtree Nova 300. Phono stage, onboard DAC, plenty of power. I almost bought one myself, but went with separates ins... | |
| Is louder better? I dunno... in my late 20’s I put together a car stereo featuring a 2700w amp driving a pair of extremely efficient 15” subs. Tended to make people sick to their stomachs, and no one wanted to ride with me twice. So... maybe not always? | |
| Analog upgrade path @grk my budget started out at $500, then I thought maybe $1000 was more in the proper range, now it’s looking like $1500 is my absolute upper limit and giving me an ulcer thinking about it. What can I say? I’m a proletarian.I’m actually really int... | |
| Analog upgrade path @anthonya I read on another site that the 1042 has a very close sound to the 2500 at a lower price point, as well as being amenable to a wider variety of tonearms.@chakster I read a previous post of yours regarding the Garrot brothers. A very stor... | |
| Analog upgrade path Well, this seems to be escalating quickly...That Soundsmith Voice cartridge is well outside my budget. The article on stylus shape was certainly informative, however.$4-5k was my (now very much blown) original budget for getting a complete system ... | |
| Analog upgrade path I had a chance to look at my Vector Research, it’s a VA-1400.Ok, looks like I’ll be hanging tough with the Technics for awhile. The Hana SL has some pretty great reviews. Wouldn’t I require a step-up transformer in addition to a phono stage to run... | |
| Analog upgrade path The integrated amp I have been using is an old Vector Research with onboard MM/MC stage. I’ve sourced an ARC LS25 mkii, as well as a Legacy power amp which is essentially a rebranded CODA Stage 3.3. Both of these pieces are sitting in their factor... | |
| Any good experience in discovering new music via TV or movie recently ? Madreblu’s “Certamente” from Sopranos S2 E4.Similar vein to Sneaker Pimps or Portishead. | |
| VINYL SUCKS! I tried really hard to like Andrew Robinson, but after seeing his vids promoting sound bars, pro amps, and junk like the Andover Spinbase (🤮)... What is this hipster DOING?! Never mind his weird need to insert his wife into every video he makes. | |
| LSA Signature 20? Thanx for your vote of confidence. I need to get over there and pull the trigger. Hopefully my room is big enough. Guess we’ll see. | |
| LSA Signature 20? Soix-This is pretty embarrassing, but that’s not exactly an easy question for me to answer... I’ve not had the chance to hear a wide variety of speakers, and I’m the only person in my social group who seems to care about the quality of sound repr... |
