| Choosing the right equipment Yes, would be good to know what he had before. Definitely talk to your dad first. | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? 1. DESIGN. I don't mean that they 'look kool' but rather that they look like they were shaped by an honest sonic objective and that everything...every element defers to that objective. I'm a big fan of Tannoy Legacy and Klipsch Heritage. Timeless ... | |

| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment My new Hagerman Trumpet MC phono stage. Best $2000 I never spent...because it costs about $1000 and sounds like $3000+. | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR I bought mine in October 2021. They were made in 2019 in the UK. I believe current stock at Upscale is all from that shipment. Nothing lasts forever. If you want made in UK, buy Tannoy asap. Would be curious to know where Legacy products are go... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) Dynamic range of digital is greater, yes. But that’s because it’s super quiet. It’s super quiet because it’s limited to 20hz-20khz, it’s filtered and it’s missing musical information. So ’more dynamic range’ sounds great but is a little misleading... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) If I were in your situation, I would look at the Denon PMA-110A. It’s the real deal. This is the anniversary edition of this 2ch integrated amp. It has an excellent partitioned dedicated phono section. 80 watts into 8ohms and it doubles down t... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR According to Kevin Deal, the US Tannoy distributor, a new factory will be located in England to continue building the Legacy line. Lower priced Tannoy stuff is built in Asia. The Fyne stuff is interesting but honestly does not look anywhere near ... | |
| Requesting recommendations for phono stage No need for a separate power supply for the Hagerman (Trumpet MC) wall wart. The circuit is designed around canceling noise with a wall wart. I have a phono pre with a separate power supply and it gets noisy with MC carts. Not with the Hagerman. ... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR @raysjazz, There has been a lot of misinformation about Tannoy manufacturing. What I know is that there is a commitment to build the Legacy speaker line in Scotland. Each pair of legacy speakers is made by one person, who personally signs each... | |
| Tannoy anyone? Cheviot Legacy vs. Stirling GR I listened to the Cheviot and the Turnberry GR 2 months ago at Upscale Audio. It was a close contest as they both have the expansive, somewhat dry Tannoy presentation. There was a little more articulation and sophistication with the Turnberrys. C... | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. I already had a solid bottom end with Technics 1200G and AT750SH (with Project Phono Box RS an Tannoy Turnberry GR). No sub needed. But the bass and everything else went up a notch with my new Hagerman Trumpet MC phono stage. It went up another ... | |
| Sonus Faber surprise On speaker break-in: I didn’t think much of it as I’ve never really heard my new speakers change much at all. My Salk Songtowers sounded pretty much the same. I thought the sound may have changed (eased/opened up) but it did not really take up to... | |
| Moving away from inefficient/low impedance speaker in order to move to a Tube Amp I used Primaluna 36 watts to drive 88bd Salk Songtowers with great ease.Then traded up to 70watt Primaluna Evo 400 and found it didn't really make much difference in the ability to drive the Salks but sounded better. Then I bought 93bd Tannoy Tur... |
