| 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. | |
| Are power cords and speaker cables dependent? The OP discovered that lamp cord, the rubbery supplied power cord and the rubbery, joined IC's work just fine. | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About Once you get past plugging in all the gear and music comes out of the speakers, it a GAS.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6le600NWk0 | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? paulgardner-If that were my system, I would look at some nice floorstanders, if you get an itch for a different presentation. If itch still persists, go up the food chain in tube amps-separates or nicer integrated.After that, knock it out of the ... | |
| Dedicated Vinyl system next upgrade? You're in the dreaded "it's good, but what's better?" zone.Endless advice from A-Z. Consider just playing clean records and open a beer.Replace your cartridge when it wears with something different.When you hear a REALLY good system, you realize... | |
| I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T??? I prefer the sound of an old tubed tuner. If dx'ing were on the top of my list, the Mcintosh MR 78 would replace my MR 71.https://spectrum.ieee.org/consumer-electronics/gadgets/the-consumer-electronics-hall-of-fame-mcintos...Realistically, I proba... | |
| I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T??? Other than improve your antennae location/position, the Marantz 10B or the rare REL are the final frontier. A close second would be Modaferri modded tubed Macintosh. |
