| Looking for a hybrid integrated to do it all! All of these enthusiastic responses indicate that integrated technology and performance is exemplary. I've both separates and integrated and with the former, it's all about the pre-amp. With the latter, it's all about the pre- end of things. Maybe... | |
| Looking for a hybrid integrated to do it all! If you can find one, the LSA Statement. Edit: and any of the higher end by Pathos will do as well | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? @ct0517 Yes, you can adjust the angular pitch of the speaker by adjusting how deep you sink the spikes into their threads in the stands. I have mine tilted slightly up - like a 3 degree angle | |

The important thing is that the compression tweeter is at level for me. I was thinking of resting each speaker on a stone/marble or a hard... | |
| Phono stage for 0.2mv cartridge? Agreed with @uberwaltz. Close to 70db of gain is huge for .2mV. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Lately I've been listening to the Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio - the beautiful sounding 45 pressing from Acoustic Sounds. Lately I've been getting into Japanese piano jazz trios. The Yuko Mabuchi Trio is another one. | |
| Jazz for aficionados It’s all relative. A beautifully made Oyster Bamboo fly fishing rod sells for close to $5000. That’s more than enough for a good Primaluna. | |
| With what you know now what components doe you wish you had bought years ago? +1 on Hafler. | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers +1 for superjockey | |
| replacing tonearm question? @noromance Not yet. It just came in today and I won't have time until this weekend. Will post an update then.@best-groove: Thanks for the Sumiko tonearm picture - that'll help! | |
| replacing tonearm question? Hey best-groove ,Good point there, but the FT-3 is twenty years old, is out of damping oil, and lacks the VTA adjustment. It's simply showing its age. I got the Jelco for a great price and it'll be a way for me to get some experience installing a ... | |
