| Best Tube Amp/Preamp combination with Quad 2805s I ran a pair of Quad 2905s with Conrad Johnson CT 5 and LP 70S for over 7 years. Amazing combination and available used in the OP's budget. Basically any CJ, ARC or similar tube amp with around 50 wpc should mate well with the Quads. Congrats on y... | |
| Two turntable setup ideas to go with an SPU cart NoromanceSorry to hijack the thread. Are you recommending a Jelco 12" over the Ortofon 309 D 12" sonically or is it a cost issue ? Curious.Pradeep | |
| VPI Cyclone cleaner I think you mean the Typhoon...?Cheers | |
| Audio Research LS2 vs Audio Research SP16L Congrats. Many many years ago I went from a LS2B to a SP16. The improvement was amazing and got me started on the audio treadmill. Time to stop :)NJoy | |
| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic I had ESLs for nearly 8 years. Started with ML Odyssey, but found the sweet spot way too narrow. Moved to a pair of Quad 2905s with a pair of REL subs and was convinced I could never go back to a conventional box speaker with cones. The Rockport A... | |

| Michell Gyro SE-what arm? I have used a Rega RB 300, a RB 1000 and eventually a Triplanar V11, with a variety of Lyra carts, on a TT that started life as a Gyro SE and ended up with all the mods of the Orbe variant. Great table that did justice to every arm/cart upgrade et... | |

| New TW 3 Motor Pod SuteetatCongrats on the platter upgrade. Am I correct in inferring that there is a bigger bang going from the single motor to 3 motors than in the platter upgrade. Just curious.CheersPradeep | |
| Poor man's Rockport Atrias? What about the Rockport Alya ? | |
| arm choices for a Garrard 401 I have an Ortofon 12" 309D arm on a restored 401. The detachable head shell allows the flexibility of trying different carts . Currently, I have a mono Miyajima BE and a SPU, the Ortofon Silver Meister. NJoy Pradeep | |
| Rockport Ankaa... Room sizing DastrixNOS as in new old stock, a term more commonly used to describe vintage tubes.PtssI have had ESLs for 7+ years , initially ML Odysseys and then Quad 2905s. In every sense the Rockport Avior is a superior speaker and IMHO, at or well above it... | |
| Rockport Ankaa... Room sizing IIRC the Anka was discontinued sometime back, hence new would be like NOS. In the current lineup both the Alya and the Atria would fit your room dimensions. I have a pair of Aviors in a slightly larger room. I aspire to no other speaker ....Cheers | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum A KLaudio cleaner arrived in the belly of an Air India Boeing from JFK, a few days back. Initial impressions are that I am getting superior results with the KLaudio compared to my 2 year old Loricraft PRC 4 dlx. Does it remove every pop and crackl... | |
