| Bonus Rega 301 arm on Thorens TD 2030 From research I did when I had a Rega Arm, there seems to be a good amount of tweaks available. Rewiring is a fairly common one, via Origin Live for example. Pete Riggle's VTAF for easily adjusting VTA is another well-regarded tweak, as are upgrad... | |
| Efficient speakers with high powered ss amp? +1 to Unsound. A good starting point is what the speaker manufacturer or owners/reviewers of the speaker have found to work. | |
| Getting a Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua rebuilt SoundSmith has a great reputation. There are purists who will say that you will no longer have a pure Dynavector cart. And that may be true. But I have never seen a complaint from someone about the sound of the SoundSmith retyped or rebuilt carts.... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 I have had great luck pairing the Musical Fidelity kW preamp with Nelson Pass's First Watt amps. There is one for sale used now I believe. You will be hard pressed to find a better preamp for the money. Check out the Stereophile review (and the re... | |
| Getting a Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua rebuilt I'd contact Dynavector and SoundSmith. It may be you need a rebuild or it could be a retip is all you need. | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? C'mon folks. There is room for precise teminology and room for metaphors/analogies that can be very useful and pragmatic for those that aren't familiar with the technical terminology and might be intimidated by it. | |
| How to pick a tubed integrated without hearing one As other comments suggest, the efficiency of your speaker will play a big role here. I'd choose a speaker first (keeping in mind that you want ones that pair well with tubes). For speakers, you will want to think about whether you want very high e... | |
| Two JL F112's or two Rythmik F15's? Kwa69, Which JL and REL did you compare? The SVS certainly have some really nice looking features. | |
| Need Help Choosing Good Value Used Speaker $2,000 Tough to say since you don't give us an idea of the room these will be in or your musical preferences. And what is it that you listen to or appreciate most in a recording or speaker? Lots of great stuff out there. Personally, in that ballpark I ha... | |
| VPi HW 19 jr upgrade I'd go with the platter or power supply upgrades before the arm myself. I like those Audioquest arms (made by Jelco). A potentially much cheaper upgrade which was performed no the Jr I bought, was attaching cone feet. But don't know your cart, so ... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can Love the Yamamoto DAC. The sound is fabulous through it. A supremely satisfying DAC. And yeah they come up for sale used very infrequently. | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can A few pieces I have snatched up when they came up used (due to a combination of rave reviews and their rarity on the used market): Yamamoto DACWell-Tempered AmadeusSP Tech Minis But at present I am pretty contented with how things are set-up, so n... | |
| Want to enhance my Audio system, need suggestions And if you are considering a sub in an apt building, something like the Auralex Subdude can do a great job of making it less audible for your neighbors. I also agree, that a sub isn't just for booming bass, but rather a good sub fills things out n... | |
| Two JL F112's or two Rythmik F15's? Marty, Which model Rytmik do you use? What is your crossover point? And did you try out integrating these without the Audyessey? If so, how was the uncorrected integration? | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I am curious about that Jura 16. Only had younger versions of it. |
