| Stand mount speakers for a very large room !! Australia would be better to look into for getting speakers as others suggested.I would look into WLM Diva or La Scala monitors - I do own the Diva and they can fill a room. Way more expensive new than your current budget, but sometimes come up us... | |
| Heard of Soltanus Acoustics ESL Virtuoso ? I know it is an old post, but I just stumbled on it. I was actually born and raised in the town in Serbia when these are manufactured. My mother's house is actually about 300 or os yards from the first location where the manufacturing started year... | |
| Random thoughts from a sort of, kind of audiophile Great posts. I feel the same way as many. Just turned 50 in 2016. Love music since my early teens but was never able to afford anything great growing up in Eastern Europe. Many years later I re-discovered music and now my house has a collection on... | |
| Need advice on what to look for in a turntable - budget $6K to $10K A lot of great advice here.I would suggest also to read some reviews (like the one below in the link) just to solidify what to look for - not necessarily to pursue the TTs in the review. I personally had a Kuzma TT which I loved, have a VPI Prime ... | |
| My final table , hopefully ! One more vote for a VPI Prime and the Kuzma Stabi/Stogi combo. I traded in my Kuzma for the Prime - upgrade but not by much (the Kuzma was an older model, about 10 years old).BTW I am listening to a nice Thorens 124 MK I right now. Sounds really t... | |
| Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that? UHQR | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound All great suggestions.Check AG for Audio Physic Step, ProAc or Merlin monitors too | |
| The most transparent speaker cable Lot of good suggestions. I have some expensive cables but the Western Electric and Belden recommendation is one I can easily support. I have both 14 and 16 gauge WE speaker cables and think that both work well. | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI I am with stewart0722 above. I own the Prime with Ortofon Cadenza Black with the Phoenix engineering system and upgraded (HRX I think?) record clamp, double pulley. Sounds really great and with the 3D arm it is hard to beat. You don't have to go c... | |
| What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right. Well some other sites are not much better - I have gear fairly priced (I did a lot of research etc.) posted for 2 years...As far as old school gear vs newer or SS vs tubes - we all have our preferences. I have a nice mix of fully recapped old scho... | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? Huge number of choices and vastly different experiences - you will need to test/listen and find the best synergy.Regarding Shindo - I don't think you will get a better sound than a Shindo preamp MM phono stage with an Auditorium Hommage SUT - at l... | |
| MM/MI Phono Stages Just for fun check out Tavish design Adagio MM/MC for about $1500.No affiliation just a very happy customer - this great separate power supply phono stage is on par with my Shindo Aurieges paired with either the Auditorium 23 Denon or Hommage. A f... | |
| Tube Phono Stage with balls, and slam!! Get a Tavish Design phono. Separate power supply, no need for SUT and your Denon will sing. Sounds as good as my Shindo Aurieges MM with an Auditorium SUT (any of them as a matter of fact). cant beat the $1500 price. Superb review in Stereophile. | |
| Phono Amp to replace Pass Aleph Ono Much appreciated! | |
| Phono Amp to replace Pass Aleph Ono thanks! What TT and cart? |
