| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) @danimaz Try to ignore the members who equate money with performance, or those who worship the alter of 2-channel above all else. Yes, 2-channel, being dedicated audio, is going to make your Dynaudios sing, but you want the whole theater package s... | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range Rogue is also known for its excellent customer service. And I was going to mention Hegel, but thought it would be out of the $1K ceiling. Hegel's are beautifully made and convincing amplifiers. | |
| Upgrade integrated within the $600 - 1k Range I’ve had both the Rega and the MF; they’re both wonderful, just slightly different sounds. The MF is more clear; the Rega more punchy. But they’re both excellent integrateds. With your Tekton’s 98db sensitivity, you could also try the tube route a... | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? I imagine Neil was the most upset person in the whole situation. | |
| Used 5ch Amp (Classe, Krell, Rotel) +1 on CarverAlso, you might try ATI or Emotiva - they both get rave reviews from users and reviewers. And I think most of Anthem's line would best your Rotel. | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? Bitten by the bug in 1989, a 30-year Rush fan here (which is young compared to many) and my biggest regret about them is that I’ll never get a chance to take my young sons to see the live. I remember on my first date with the woman who became my w... | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 +1 on the Technics. Or, just about anything from VPI in that range, new or used. Those LSA's will be true and faithful to whatever component feeds them. | |
| I woke up with cold ears I think our bodies come to stasis overnight. Things balance out. Our feet get shorter; our spine decompresses. It's no wonder our aural canals might change, too. | |
| Update on Paul Laudati of Clear Day Cable An honest and authentic and patient soul. Took much time from his days to talk with me about cables and sound and never, ever, tried to up-sell me on anything. I've used his Shotguns for years and love them dearly. He always struck me as simply a ... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation for VPI Prime I suspect once you upgrade your amplifier, you'll get more out of the Soundsmith. | |
| I feel bad for speaker manufacturers I remember an ad here on Audiogon several years ago for a pair Avantegarde Trios - with the copy saying something like: "These are big toys for the big boys". That reminds me of what michaelgreenaudio said above about "listeners today not being th... | |
| Sophia Electric Magik Box Idk, @roberjerman. Sophia has a pretty solid reputation. I can't see them peddling gimmicks. I assume what they build and advertise will perform as described. | |
| The music’s the thing but.... That's the ultimate trap of this hobby: using your music to listen to your system. | |
| Audio racks Check out Mapleshade's line of racks. | |
| Smartphone audio sadness I'll try for clarity in this response so EVERYONE can comprehend it.I went with the Samsung Galaxy S9+ and so far quite like it. Now, considering my last phone was the iPhone 4s, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch. But the sound is wide and d... |
