| Speaker suggestions under 4k @mofojo,I am running a McIntosh C2500 tube preamp along with a McIntosh MC302 300wpc amp. I smile a lot while listening. | |
| Move From AVR to Integrated? I have seen the Parasound Halo Integrated amp @160wpc selling used for $1200-1400.00. Brand new it sold for $2500.00. That should drive your speakers quite nicely. I had one in 2016-2017 and it was an excellent integrated. It took a much mor... | |
| AUDIOPHILE OR JUST CRAZY ? I sometimes think that my system in the 70’s sounded better on Rock than my 2 systems do now. But then I put on a Pink Floyd CD and realize my systems do sound much better. I think it is more the nostalgia from the past than the actual sound. | |
| Speaker suggestions under 4k @mofojo ,if you live near Rhode Island, I can have you over to hear the GE Triton Reference. Many Audiogoners have come through my living room for a listen. | |
| Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something? clearthinker, you are wrong, wrong, wrong. Best sound I ever had and I have been doing this over 50 years. Try some of the GAIA footers and you will eat every one of your words. Do you like the taste of crow? And, I will leave it at that. | |
| 2021 audio system wish list @ozzy @glupsonThe reason it is going to take so long for we 65 and older citizens to get it is because all the politicians are getting it first. I remember the Polio vaccinations, the entire town went to the High School and everyone waited patien... | |
| Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something? @clearthinker,I used the Triton Refs floor spikes and went with the GAIA II instead as I felt they were a bigger improvement. The GAIA carpet spikes are cups with metal protruding to grab the rugs, they are not spikes persay. The footers sit ins... | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? My SL1200 G is my forever turntable. It should easily outlast me. | |
| Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something? I am another in favor of the ISO Acoustics. I use the GAIA II and the carpet spikes. Huge improvement on focus and bass articulation. | |
| Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like I had a Rega Planar 3 back in the mid 90’s. It had a Linn K9 cartridge. Sound was very lightweight and listener fatigue stopped me from buying records. I ended up keeping the Rega RB300 arm from the Planar3 and bought a VPI Hw19. I mounted th... | |
| 2021 audio system wish list @douglas_schroeder I am happy to hear you are ok. My wife and I are waiting for our COVID test results. We had the test done Tuesday. We were exposed last Thursday-Friday to the virus. We both feel ok so far. | |
| 2021 audio system wish list I want to purchase a Dynavector DV20XL cartridge and have Chris @VH Audio build me a phono cable and a pair of very short interconnects (6 inches long) to go between the pre out and power amp in on my McIntosh integrated instead of the cheap strap... | |
| Technics 1200G VS VPI Prime Signature Call Adirondack Audio and ask for Jason or Fred. I bought mine there. They are located in Queensbury, NY | |
| Technics 1200G VS VPI Prime Signature @bassgruvn,You are going to love it. You will find yourself spinning much more vinyl. | |
| Amp to drive Focal Kanta 3 @jamitloud I own an MC 302 and have no desire to change. It drives my speakers with such authority and never runs out of gas. One of my best audio purchases. |
