| Cartridge or cable upgrade You all have been tremendously helpful. I'm mulling the AT-150 or the Dyn 10x5 or the Ortofon Black. I knew the 5.1SE wouldn't be a Lyra or Koetsu-caliber table, but I wasn't really looking for that initially.I don't know whether i'll be going ser... | |
| Best buys you've ever acquired on AG Rotel 1072 cd player for $175. A true giant killer if I ever heard one. | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade Thank you all for the myriad avenues of advice and direction!Now, let's assume that a new tt is out of the picture for now insofar as I'm guessing I would have to spend ~$1500 or so for a decent upgrade. And assume I have a few other bills I'm pay... | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade Ah. Of course. I've emailed LSA to see what they say about a step-up. There's no pre-in on the LSA (it's an option for about $400, I believe, plus shipping both ways), and the existing phono, from all accounts, is quite good. Any step-up recs? | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade "Logic Zd543."Kik - I have no idea what that means... | |
| combination tube amp and ss preamp? Agreed with Joekapahulu. Since the pre is the heart of your system and generates the signal that will ultimately be reproduced by your speakers, having a tube pre makes more sense. | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade Excellent advice, Zd. I've never really been unhappy with my table and researched a bunch of them heavily before deciding on the Pro-ject. One dealer clicked his tongue, shook his head, and insisted that I HAD to buy one of his Well Tempered tt's ... | |
| Cartridge or cable upgrade You all rock. Thank you for all the advice and guidance. Some further questions:1. How thick a mat should I get if I go the Herbie Mat route?2. Yes, the table is probably the weaker link in the system, but at this stage I'm not sure how invested I... | |
| Reference 3A De Capo BE Review I've had my de Capo's for about a year and a half now; installed the BE tweets six months ago or so and can't testify to a startling difference, but a pleasant one nonetheless.These speakers are a keeper for me for a long time. | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? So let me get this straight: any hum or hiss you hear becomes inaudible once the music starts playing? When you're actively/critically listening, can you discern a sonic deterioration because of the hiss/hum? If not, stop micro-managing and enjoy ... | |
| Shrinking my system Actually, I'd agree with Zd who suggested to wait and check out the apartment and surroundings and wall surfaces and neighbors and such before commiting to anything. de Capo's are unparalleled for their price; Triangles work well with tubes, as do... | |
| Shrinking my system The Rogue/Triangle coupling is a good, small system. | |
| What should I sell these for used here? Buyers? This entire forum needs serious updating. We need threaded responses, quote/multi-quote options, likes, flags, member-based moderation; you know, something less 2004 and more 2014. | |
| What should I sell these for used here? Buyers? And I'm curious as to why you haven't listened to the system at all since you bought it. What's the point?And I'm also thinking this could be a troll. | |
| What should I sell these for used here? Buyers? Agreed with Czar. And you'd be better selling on ebay or craigslist. The T2 is a huge system designed for huge rooms; shipping alone would be pretty prohibitive due to the number of boxes. There are better, cheaper 2.1 systems out there. However -... |
