| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! Acoustic Zen Crescendos -newOr used Triangle Magellan Grand ConcertsHappy happy joy joy! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I think anyone with trypophobia would steer clear of the DI's! | |
| More effecient speakers? This stems from my recent experience when I sold my beloved LSA Statement integrated (hybrid; 150w/ch) and replaced it with a Triode Corp TRV-35 (tube; 35 w/ch push-pull). It just wasn't powerful enough for the Adagios and their 89db. And I was wo... | |
| More effecient speakers? I had Triangle Titus's for a long time and loved them. Sold them wen I got Reference 3A de Capo's, but still remember them fondly. It's a brand I wouldn't hesitate to return to. | |
| More effecient speakers? I stream Tidal at its highest res through the Oppo. Good enough DAC on the 105? | |
| More effecient speakers? Hey - i think the overwhelming consensus here is to be happy with what I have - which I am. And you're right - it's a cheaper and more fulfilling state of being. I guess I'm like many on this forum - eager to explore what else is out there. | |
| Where can I find a VPI SAMA (600 or 300 rpm)? @wlutke Thank you for the advice. Although I think it's beyond lubrication, would I just unscrew the housing and oil things?Problem is, I remember knocking things pretty hard. I've made plans to send it off to VPI for repair. | |

| Where can I find a VPI SAMA (600 or 300 rpm)? @turntablemat Sweet. Thanks a bunch. Will do. | |
| No frills balanced ss integrated amp? There's an LSA Statement up for sale at a bargain price. One of the best pure, no frills integrated ss/hybrids you can get. | |
| Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both? And I think almost everyone on these boards has, to some extent or more, used music to listen to their system. | |
| Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both? I think that's complete cr@p. Whether you revel in lush soundscapes or enjoy the crack of a well-tuned snare, music is music. As a music lover, it sounds like you've become more analytical, but who cares? As humans, we tend to be fascinated by pro... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Just spent some time reading up on Rudy Bozak. Fascinating - if somewhat sad - story! Had never heard of his speakers and was surprised at how influential he was in the field, even teaming up with Bob Marantz to get that whole thing started. I wo... | |
| phono upgrade vs replacing stylus That Micro Groove + has 112, 140, 187, 280, and 560 ohm settings - I may be missing something, but your Ortofon calls for 47K loading. Also, the Micro Groove + is set up as an MC pre, calibrated for mV settings on cartridges.Tom can build you a Mi... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? @willemj Illusions, by their nature, exist as self-created projections of what the individual wants to see or hear. Thus, you can't destroy what is not yours to destroy. |
