| confused and don't know what to do This is an interesting thread as I just tweaked my system over the weekend to add in HT. I have a rather high end two channel stereo set up in my large living room. I have been pretty much 100 percent analog music driven; however I grabbed a dea... | |
| Jerry Raskin's Needle Doctor Gone? His ex-employee's should buy the business, after all they know it well and were the direct connection to the clients. | |
| Phono preamp suggestions under $1000 I had a Gold Note PH10 for a few months; it was okay, nothing to get excited over at least with my system. I found it was noise prone which required a lot of adjusting to get right and even then it was still noisy.It was very good in the mid range... | |
| Whest Phono Stages I have had many discussions with James at Whest about how to elevate performance in the analog chain. He always told me that as great as the AT20ss is and it is one of his all time favorites, any MM cannot pull out the detail from the recording as... | |
| Whest Phono Stages I have had my new to me MC A90 in the system for almost two weeks now and I am very impressed! I set the Whest up at 100 ohms loading with 65 db gain. After reading an article by Fremer on using his A90 with a new PS Audio phono stage, he set t... | |
| Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear I just picked up a very lightly used A90 the other day. I am using it with a fairly new Whest PS.30 RDT SE 2019 version phono stage and the turntable is the VPI Ares3 with a SME Series IV tone arm. Amps are Anthem M1 mono blocks, speakers Brysto... | |
| Whest Phono Stages As qdrone suggested: 'stay with what you have and go for a MC'; I took that suggestion, which I assume he meant don't go for the fancy cables right away, get into a nice MC to see what the Whest can do.I just bought a nearly new (according to the ... | |
| Whest Phono Stages A friend of mine loved the Titan, he said it was the best phono stage he had ever experienced. That is what started me on the Whest quest. The thing I like about Whest is that James is never content with building a phono stage, he's always twea... | |
| Whest Phono Stages On the surface it looks like a great deal; however there are two points to make. First its an early model, notice the single power on light vs. all the late models have individual power lights for each mono stage. They have made considerable des... | |
| Whest Phono Stages It has been three months since I posted my initial thoughts on the 2019 PS.30 RDT SE. The phono stage really smoothed out after about 50 hours or so of use. It’s very neutral, no peaks in any range, just wonderful high dynamic output from the low ... | |
| Best Phono amp under $2000. I am in agreement with the gent who said that he went with Whest. I just sold a mint Whest Three Signature for under $2K, well under; that would have been by far your best bet in the range you wish to stay within. I have had a number of other phon... | |
| Phono Preamps with "balls" ? This is a long thread with a lot of technical info added in for fun; but my take on phono preamps is based on a shoot out I had with a grouping of mid range priced units. The price range was $1500 to $4K with some $2.5K stuff in the middle and on... | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? This is not really in your budget range, but for the fun of describing what I have here, and it is in a 10,000 cu foot room with an 18 foot ceiling; it's probably better than any night club I have been too. My brother, who is an audio/video engin... | |
| Phono Preamp Well Mr. Audiofun, if you love tubes, stay with them and have fun matching them and finding ones that meet spec or stay in spec a year or so later. I'll stay with modern SS devices. As I said, high power ceramic tetrodes are great for transmit... | |
| Recommend speakers for a large living room I have a similarly large space. 35x30x18 high with mostly glass to the east, winding staircase to the north side with a balcony overhead, open to the southern direction to the kitchen and the west wall under the balcony overhead is all stone with... |
