| Turntable Upgrade question.. You're in a terrible spot.Endless recommendations for "the best" for your budget. Whatever it is, play the hell out of it.If the itch still persists, upgrade EVERYTHING until the wife threatens divorce. | |
| vpi classic "I didn’t even miss my Koetsu"Interesting testimony from a Koetsu owner. I'm actually on my second ART 9. The cantilever magically "disappeared" after 3 years with the first one.The ART 9 certainly isn't a "downgrade" comparing to the $2K+ Kiseki... | |
| vpi classic latik-I would seriously consider the older ART 7 over all of them if the phonostage has 65db's of gain. More refined than the ART 9. ART9 being more of a value proposition over the Kiseki.https://www.lpgear.com/product/ARART7.htmlI own the Kiseki ... | |
| How do you know what you're missing? End of the day, it's simply what sounds good to you.Stay off forums, and enjoy your music. Audiophoolery is just another hobby. | |
| Thousands of tubes for sale At least 1/3 of the lot, likely useless for audio gear. That 1/3 then becomes even smaller once you sort the duds out.Not such a "bargain" now. | |
| vpi classic I have the same VPI Classic. Been using the Audio Technica ART9 for many years. For $300 dollars less, you can still buy the original version.https://www.lpgear.com/product/ATART9.html$300 more, you get a threaded body and hair splitting differenc... | |
| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. "I have met Laruen Bacall"Cool to imagine Lauren and Bogie spending time listening to 78’s or hanging out in a dinner club listening to big bands playing.I love this supposed bit from an interview:"I had one great marriage, I had three great child... | |
| Downside to "revealing" system? Not so fast..SS Strain Gauge-the final frontier. I've had the opportunity to sit and listen with my own LP's in a SS room w/PL. That damn SG IMO, was all those stupid audio geek superlatives AND it did sound organic.Just more to chew on. | |
| Dinah Washington, have you listened to her? Just Covid boredom/post debate fatigue for me.20 lashings with cheap lamp cord and Justin Beiber on repeat for your offense. | |
| Dinah Washington, have you listened to her? Dinah Washington "rough around the edges" Sigh...The OP puts Diana(assuming Krall?)and Rosie(whoever that is) with Ella, "Billy?"(should be Billie) and Sarah.....Enough said. | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? "sure I will try something from Nordost next."If you decide to go down that road, this is where to starthttps://nordost.com/leif/blue-heaven/blue-heaven-power-cord.phpThis power cord is where you get their upper level technology.Tread lightly i... | |
| VPI new turntable- Prime 21 Looks like they just ditched the uni pivot for the gimbal arm. Based on the articles, it’s just the MK II version. Plinth improvements and other minor things. Not exciting enough for me to upgrade from my ageing, Classic. If I could just find a HW... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 or Raven Audio Blackhawk integrateds? I sold my PL Dialogue Premium, non HP looking to get the Focals to their potential... What was it lacking? Did you try different tubes-KT88/150's?Demo the amps. You're only out shipping for what doesn't make the cut. The PL will have twice the po... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 400 or Raven Audio Blackhawk integrateds? 5 years with the PL HP. If you're going only on internet suggestions, with articles,specs, graphs..whatever, then read as much as you can. In the end, it is subjective. The 1038's can sound great with many amps, and the PL is one of them. Hearing... | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Be however you think you should be..It's just a forum with guys who obsess over sound coming out of two boxes. Spend more time with the S/O. |
