| Perlisten D212 Subs (2) in the house. You can look up on line. I think 13k for pair. | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value Every time I have done a component upgrade the sound improves. It also costs a lot more money with diminishing returns. So pick you weakest link and have fun. | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system Rega 6, PS Audio Phono, Grado cart……If I were to buy an mid-price rig. Don’t forget the phono cable which will be the most important interconnect in your system. | |
| Solid State Phono Stages I just moved from an Aesthetix Rhea Sig to the Pass XP-27. Honestly I could not hear significant difference except Pass is quieter. Very happy with XP-27 and love not having to worry about tubes. | |
| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? I just took delivery of the Majico A-5’s. They are wonderful but I’m still breaking-in. I will say this, I’m having trouble getting the soundstage right. However they are in a very large room that I think is the culprit. I also have Wilson Alexia’... | |
| Changed subs from speaker level to XLR after many years. Wow! I agree that the speaker level connection may not be optimal for all systems. IMO tube amps may benefit the most. Plus with Roon one has the ability to easily do a high pass on the main speakers allowing the sub to be dialed in at higher frequenci... | |
| Wilson Alexia - speaker placement question I have a pair of Wilson Alexia’s. My room is larger at 16’w 30’d vaulted ceilings. They are currently 3’6 from front wall and 2’ from side walls. My room is also open in the back wall. I have had them as close as 2’ from front wall and they ima... | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl I’ve concluded this. It all depends on how the source was recorded and you need to spend a lot more on your vinyl rig to exceed digital results. That said I prefer well recorded vinyl! My vinyl rig is VPI HW-40, Pass x-27, Van Dre Hul Stradivar... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? It’s a hobby. That means its supposed to be fun. My speaker placement maximizes that utility function! | |
| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? Just took delivery of the A-5’s. Still setting up and breaking-in. First impressions are very positive. Only time will tell. I also own Wilson Alexia Series 1. They are amazing. Very different design…ported vs sealed. Creates a very differe... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Thank you for your initial evaluation Xagwell. When I went from stock Rhea to Signature the tube rush I had experienced went away and my unit is very quite. My primary goal is to get a quieter noise floor. Don’t know if that’s possible with tubes.... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Xagwell, Thank you! Had no idea the turnaround was so long. I've recently done a lot of system upgrades. New Wireworld interconnects and PC's. I've added a PS Audio Power Regenerator which has lowered the noise floor considerably. Also upgra... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Xagwell, please report back once you get the upgraded Rhea back. I looked at that option but am a little hesitant as my Rhea is 16 years old and upgraded to Signature just a few years ago. | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Well the new table and cart arrived yesterday. There is quite an improvement in SQ over my VPI Aries 2 and Grado Statement 2 cart. The first LP I played was amazing! As time wore on I became more used to the sound and it became the new normal. I... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Thanks mulveling! The SUT sounds intriguing as a way to lower the noise floor of my existing pre. Never thought about that. As I'm not very familiar with SUT brands any recommendations? |
