| Looking for new amp for Tekton Electron SE First Watt F7 will handle Mahler well with the Tekton's! | |
| Do you prefer tidy room to messy one with better sound? I sit in the near field 6 - 8 feet from the speakers. So room condition doesn't matter! | |
| Which Preamp Would You Choose? Sonic Frontiers - especially since it has been upgraded! | |
| 5LS refererence Maybe Gallo can sell you replacement drivers. | |
| Looking for floorstading Non-tower speakers Upgrade the EPI's and use the money saved for improvements in the rest of the system. | |
| Advice for a choice Yes, that would be the matching amp! Again, this is an outstanding pair! | |
| Yet another turntable recommendation question The OP can get a Pioneer PLX1000 for $700 and add a $500 Grado Sonata to it. Excellent sound quality - I have this combination! | |
| Yet another turntable recommendation question @millercarbon: The OP cannot afford a $2-3K tonearm! And there is NOTHING wrong with a detachable headshell! Both my Fidelity Research arms use them! And they are NOT junk! | |
| Advice for a choice The Marantz ND8006 also has WIFI and Bluetooth. At that price ($969.95) it can't be beat! | |

| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Regarding LP's and CD's: there is a veritable flood of both (used) on eBay! And for cheap, too! | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Interconnects and speaker wire can be any low-cost Audioquest or Kimber product. No need to fret neurotically about wire! Or power cords - LOL! | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. For CD and streaming I will recommend new gear: Cambridge CXC transport ($500) and a Topping D50 DAC with linear power supply ($350). Add a BlueNode 2 streamer ($550) for 'net music access and you're good to go! | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. A nicely-restored Scott tube integrated amp (233 or 299 - $600) plus a pair of Altec Valencia's ($2K) will get you 98% of the way to Audio Nirvana! Add a Pioneer PLX1000 TT (new - $700) and a Grado Sonata MI cartridge ($500 new) plus a Schiit Mani... |
