| Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u? Dali Epicon 8Pre Arc ref 10Symphonic classical looking for deep soundstage and timbral beauty and space around solo and chamber instruments.Thanks | |
| Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8 Had the 350.8 and liked it enormously but it was kind of a monster for my small listening room.Would I do just as well with a 250.8 with an Arc Ref 10 and speakers at 89db? What are the differences people hear between the 250.8 and the 350.8? | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? Ella singing Rodgers and Hart. And I'm a big classical buff. Although the deluxe cd remastering of a few years ago was a disaster. Though I'm curious to know where you find current greatness in classical music. I simply stopped going I was so bore... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I'll add a vote for the Vandersteen quattro carbons. I was really impressed. As it seems a number of others are. If you can get a used pair it would fit into your price range. | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Yes Tahra is gone but sometimes their recordings can still be found on Amazon.Music and Arts another excellent historical label I think is still in business. They have a great Furtwangler Brahms cycle.BMG has a Toscanini Philadelphia set which man... | |

| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I'm afraid a musical performance in Milan would not be worthy of what you would find in a recording from decades ago. The live ambience is nice but the artistry is lost to the ages and not coming back.Now baroque opera in Paris might be another th... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD You have some serious upgrading to do on analog rig as many people are saying. It's expensive and takes time if you don't have the funds. Upgrade that tone arm and cartridge. Or as soon as you can afford a 3D tonearm and koetsu or Lyra.And I liste... | |
| Best places to find vinyl Prices on ebay have really gone up for original pressings.Very disheartening.How is the 180 gram reissue of Village Green? Anybody heard it? | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Often you can get a sense of cartridges by reading not only the reviews but what many people have to say. As you are on this forum you know you have to read a lot. Are people agreeing on characteristics? Warm? Analytical? What do you like? Can you... | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? Before digital it was all gaslight. Herbie the K. | |
| 350.8 to 30.8 I did speak with somebody at Pass and he was speaking about the merits of the xa25 but when I told him I listen to a lot of symphonic classical and was looking for a deep wide soundstage he automatically recommended the 30.8. | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings terrific.Don't know what happened there. | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings Granted I don't have the playback systems and experience some of you have but I'll risk being shredded and say that some of the Jubilee budget repressings sound f | |
| Furman solves ground loop issue? Thank you. I hope I can find something that will work. It's been a while now and I'm getting worried. I've enjoyed analog too much to be without it besides the money spent. |
