| Phono stage for my system? Some observations after reading manufacturer's, dealers' and reviewers' information about some of the cartridge recommendations. 1. The Gold Note PH10 sounds like an excellent product, but it is well above my $1,000 budget at $1,699. Its power ... | |
| Phono stage for my system? Thanks for the additional recommendations. From reading your responses and prior threads about phono stages, there is no clear and obvious choice. And I want to demo at least two or three, if possible. Three things I've seen repeated several ti... | |
| Phono stage for my system? How about a pre-owned Linn Euphorik? The reasons I'm interested is that I've had a good experience with another Linn product, Linn makes excellent turntables, and the Euphorik can be bought for $1,000 or a bit more and it is adjustable for MM and... | |
| Phono stage for my system? As to cabling, the Pro-ject turntable came from the factory with RCA interconnects attached. They are likely replaceable if I open the bottom of the housing. The Integra is connected to the Ayre pre-amp with decent Transparent balanced interconnec... | |
| Tidal vs Hi Res Files vs CD vs “Netflix”. My test. Incredible! I think there is some merit to the shorter signal path argument. You have a lot of pieces in your computer to DAC chain, even though your additions were designed to improve the USB signal from the computer. Also, optical connections like that fr... | |
| Ended my Qobuz subscription I agree with those who find Tidal’s jazz catalog more extensive. I also agree with those who find Qobuz’s classical catalog better. I listen to both classical and jazz and have chosen Qobuz. They have far more high definition classical recordings ... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @thyname, step one of relocating the speakers involved moving them further into the room to get more air around them. This noticeably improved the imaging and clarity, but narrowed the sound stage a bit, which surprised me, as they are the same ... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @keithtexas It's the room, not the speakers. If you saw the photos I sent to Hansen you would understand. Goal is to pull the speakers further forward into the room and away from a wall that intrudes 30" into the room at its center. This wall f... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? To those who have been kind enough to respond to my post, I want to provide an update. I have followed the suggestion of @millercarbon and contacted Synergistic Research regarding their room treatments and other products. They put me in touch with... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @geoffkait yes I realize some posts are by those hawking products they sell. It's their right. Rest easy, I never purchase anything without demoing in my home. And I tend to shy away from the more esoteric items. It is interesting to me how few... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @audiotroy thanks for the input. You are the second source to mention the Wireworld cables. Will consider borrowing from The Cable Company to check them out. Also, I am not surprised you recommended KEF Reference speakers. I like the "British"... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? @audiotroy the Luxman was a bit brighter sounding than my gear at lower listening levels, but not necessarily better. Its bass response was inferior. Overall resolution may have been a bit better on the high frequencies. It was not tiring or el... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? david_ten - Many thanks. | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? millercarbon - Same question on the Blue Quantum fuses - independent source that explains why product actually does improve sound Before I go through the process of reading manuals to identify proper fuse types, ordering the necessary fuses and... | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? miller carbon - Can you direct me to a web site that explains how CFTs and HFTs work? I read a little on the Synergistic Research web site. Their web site provides very little explanation. Since they sell the products, I'd prefer some input from... |
