| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog hey, jimbo, i use a 3bx, too! also in the tape loop, so it's not in the signal path when not in use. but, i find it more useful for increasing dynamic range, than for suppressing vinyl surface noise. in fact, it seems to get as much, if not more, ... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog bishopwell, i guess that's why there's more than one kinda car, and all ice cream ain't vanilla... ;~) i have excercised minimal care-n-feeding of vinyl in ~35 years of spinning it, and, while i acknowledge surface noise is an issue w/some albums,... | |
| Best Budget Sub? tiny, it's obvious that you've never auditioned vmps subs... ;~) and, fwiw, i tried a rel strata, & i'd rather have *no* sub... so, swong - be careful, & make your *own* decisions, based upon your *own* ears telling you what you like. my a... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog i dunno whether or not a properly set-up technics 1200 is *better* than your typical rega, but i'd say it's at least on the same playing field. regardless of how much $$$ ya end up spending, be sure to purchase a used ' table: *so* much more bang-... | |
| Upgrade CD player or wait search the a-gon threads for di/o, or d/io, or dio. it will provide info about a cheap dac than can be modded, & the price w/mods is still less than $350. you can spend thousands, & still not do any better... well, i admit that there are a... | |
| Please help me tame the bass beast subwoofers. they will work well, even w/full-range speakers. they will allow you to place your main speakers optimally for image & soundstage w/o regard to bass response - use the sub(s) for that. my subs were effective even w/my old thiel 3.5... | |
| Best Budget Sub? think vmps, w/a marchand xm-9 24db/octave x-over, & a used cheap solid-state amp. far better sonics, extension, spl, etc., than anything else for $1k, even used. my opinion, of course... ;~)doug s. | |
| what is the best sub amp. kirk, many folks use that crown in home systems. i think you would have to spend an awful lot of money on a krell to get the same performance as the crown macro-reference, for the use you're proposing...doug s. | |
| Monitors vs Full Range i pretty-much agree w/what everyone's said here. that's why i think even nilthepill's set-up could be improved w/a pair of great subs flanking his "monitors"! :>)doug s. | |
| Hi-Fi and Pro equip. like Mackie, Stewart or JBL not all pro-audio equipment sounds bad. wayne of boldercables.com, is pleased w/his qsc audio amp - read it about it on the qsc forum on harmonicdiscord.com. i'm considering a pair to use w/my subwoofers. also, the art di/o dac is a pro audio unit... | |
| Monitors vs Full Range better imaging, & soundstaging - especially that holographic disappearing-speaker effect is usually possible w/monitors. if the bass isn't good enuff, use subs - i like 'em a lot, w/subwoofers. but, i like subwoofers - i even ran my full-range... | |
| regular vinyl pressings psychic, give dave a break - he got into this audiophile-thing not too long ago; w/guys like us here on a-gon, he's picking up many tips on being a cheapskate! ;~) now, both you *and* david need to invest about $300 into a modded di/o dac & en... | |
| regular vinyl pressings yup, agreed - about the same vintage as the 1200! ;~) but, updated to mk-v specs w/an origin-live dc motor kit, & o-l modded rega (there, i said it!) tonearm, i bet mine sounds better! nyah, nyah! ;~)regards, doug s. | |
| regular vinyl pressings hi psychic, i know ya like yer 1200, & i, too, have heard one set up properly - it *is* a nice 'table... but, i'm not ready to part w/my oracle - it yust *looks* too cool! ;~)doug s. | |
