| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? I've had Maggie 3.6Rs and now have Spatial M3 turbo S's. They both perform flawlessly. The Maggie's project a bit more presence because of their size, but the Spatials images are pinpoint without being clinical. The Spatials are slightly more flex... | |
| 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 ... | |
| replacing tonearm question? @yogiboy Thanks! | |

| Favorite instrument through your favorite speakersi Steve Howe's guitar intro on "Roundabelt" suspends in midair through my Spatial M3's. But acoustic basses also sound vivd | |
| Recommendations for a good power conditioner? Do I even need one? So I bought a Furman PST-8. My existing power cords are an Acoustic Zen Tsunami on my Pathos integrated and a Transparent Audio Reference on my phono stage. The Furman reduced the noise floor a bit but what was odd was how it brought instruments f... | |
| Jelco 250st on Sota Comet worth a rewire? Jelcos are really good - and for $50 you got a steal of a deal. If there's an electronics shop in your area, they can rewire the arm and probably charge you their bench fee as it won't take them too long to do it. | |
| Would Totem Arro's be a significant upgrade from Kef Q150's hey. I had the Arros fora while. They image beautifully, but they're not the most bass-y speakers. | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? And so that worked. yes, there's an unsightly HDMI cable stretching to my listening seat, but the Amazon Ultra/HD sound trumps Tidal's basic sound by spades. Would a USB be a better sound than HDMI? | |
| Which type of cable sounds best for Streamer to DAC: AES/EBU or DIGITAL COAX or USB ?? Cool. I wasn't championing hdmi, I was just asking from a novices perspective if it was a viable transfer medium. |
