| The survival of the fittest. I think the OP may be overlooking what @mapman suggested about good speaker manufacturers chugging along despite a lack of major marketing. Ohm, Decware, Spatial, Reference 3A, and other small manufacturerers have lasted for decades because of loy... | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation @condosoundWhat similar priced amps for the money do you recommend that are tubes? | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation @jjss49 yes, definitely a consideration. It worked wonders when my pathos double down to 140 watts into 4 ohms. The LFD did not, being class A. Steve at deckware recommended that Tori for because of its increased wattage. He said because I was so ... | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation Thanks all. I'm considering hauling my M3s up to Peoria to see how the Decwares sound with them. And thanks for the LTA recs. I'll check it out. | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation @millercarbon. Yes, I've been talking with Steve (who's right up the road) and just asked him the lead time. | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? Ooo! It looks quite nice, especially that wood base. | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation @rtorchia" "To me the LP popularity is based on pure nostalgia because messing with a Thorens TT, an SME arm, and a fine cartridge is very pleasurable."Careful there with that broom you're using for the sweeping generalization. I'm not sure what ... | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation But the truth is that most people, no matter their generation, simply don't care enough about fidelity to go further than a good sound bar. The idea of sitting down for a listening session without talking is the purview of what we do on this site,... | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation @orpheus10 "All the people I knew were impressed..." Possibly because you hung with other people who cared about the sound? Most of the people I knew during the cd-days of the 90's didn't care. I liked them because they were easier than tapes AN... | |
| Are Jelco SA-750D and SA-750E swappable? If you've never drilled an armboard hole before, it can be a daunting experience. But it's pretty easy once you get the measurements all correct. Let me know if you would want help | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation @orpheus10 Idk - I believe the convenience of a cd - being able to skip and select tracks at a whim - was a big factor in people moving over to that medium. Add to that their portability (who here once had a Discman of any iteration?) and it's no ... | |
| Are Jelco SA-750D and SA-750E swappable? I have a 10-in Jelco 750 EB. When I replaced my previous sumiko 9-in tone arm, I had to turn my arm board 180 and drill a new hole for the tonearm. | |
| help me help my friend? Yes. The Parasound is phenomenal. Your friend's speakers are keepers for the moment. As @mike_in_nc suggested, a good powered sub would help them out. I would think a really good set of monitors with a bit more oomph would help. Like Reference 3A ... | |
| Are Jelco SA-750D and SA-750E swappable? Not really. You have a 26mm pivot difference. That's going to wreak havoc with the overhang. | |
