| Useful Information Perhaps @millercarbon can join the Audiogon Outsider forum? | |
| Need help in trying to trace cause of distortion @4krowme --Agreed. There're a bunch of variables here. I would suggest pragmatism:try something as simple as the cables and IC's. Swap them out and see if that makes a difference. switch the tubes - both for different tubes and for placementtake @... | |
| Need help in trying to trace cause of distortion ^^^^^ So helpful. Care to enlighten? | |
| MUST Have Vinyl Agreed with @aewarren. Consider what you loved listening to with your previous format, then find it on vinyl. I usually peruse the Hoffman forums for the "best pressings" of what I'm looking for, then head to discogs to find it. I also find great ... | |
| why the limited number of Stereophile recommended components in the A and B class ? Yeah. They only have so many qualified reviewers to go around. | |
| why the limited number of Stereophile recommended components in the A and B class ? I suspect it's the components they have personally reviewed in recent times. Still, Stereophile does laud Bryston's components and, if this is any solace, from a recent online Stereophile review (https://www.stereophile.com/solidpoweramps/bryston_... | |
| I need a good looking and good sounding speaker .... What's your budget? | |
| Question re: Phono stage gain and possible new integrated Thanks for the feedback. I contacted Clayton Shaw at Spatial who kindly said much the same thing. Again, I was worried about too strong a signal strength with all that extra wattage. @almarg Thanks for clearing things up, too. @imhififan You're ri... | |

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 | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? I have my M3 Turbo S's on their spikes on a thick rug over a wooden floor on a concrete basement foundation. 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. | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? Great call on the triodes! | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? My listening room is a finished basement: 18x30x7.5. The Spatials are about 3 1/2 feet from the back wall, toed-in slightly, 9' apart, and some 11' from my listening area. They pack plenty of punch and low end presence powered by a Pathos Classic ... |
