| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? rsl507-I'm afraid the Ostich egg comparison doesn't apply to me.Living in weirdoville central-SoCal, they're likely available at some upscale gourmet food store.I use a now aging Fosgate(V2) that does the deed. It holds up against the current $3-5... | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? rsf507-I keep an eye out for a used NVO. It appears owners aren't letting them go.I've heard some FINEST SS setups. They all do the same-approach tube sonics. That is naturally subjective. If one is the "press your ear to the speaker grill to hear... | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? Since this thread is about a tube phono amp, anyone recall this being a flavor of the month?http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue57/nvo.htmLots of glass in there! Unobtanium in the used market. From the reviews, it appeared to be a "end of game" ... | |
| Are you Beethoven or Mozart? Much different than R&R preferences. The actual artists are performing their compositions, which makes all the difference.Classical, it’s all in the intrepetation thru the conductor/orchestra.There’s a dull 5th or Tocatta and Fugue, and there ... | |
| Project Acryl-it Platter You may be oh...nearly 10 year late | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? $15K will get the "end game" piece. As mentioned above, the Allnic, or something cool as the Luxman are at that level. After that, it's all table madness to blame for nervosa! | |
| Selling price of Shunyata Python Alpha Helix 1 meter 20 amp Power Cord/Cable It's a nearly 15 year old model.If your considering more than half the retail, it may stay listed for awhile. IMO, half is still high. If a cable listed for $1k, I wouldn't consider it for more than $450-500.Used audio gear/peripherals is for a sm... | |
| Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d This is easily comparable to other suggestions, and almost HALF your budget.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9j038-primaluna-dialogue-1-tubePlenty for what you describe as use. It will drive your speakers, and worry free. You don't need a 50-1... | |
| How many times have you ... The reissue thing seems to be hit or miss. Gave up on them.Always a miss to my ears. Or, perhaps it's just nostalgia. My teen years caught the end of R&R-mid 70s?I've mentioned in other threads that R&R albums sound as if the bass is punc... | |
| Schiit Mani vs Atoll P200SE Phono Preamp I used that piece of Schiit while my $2500 unit was being repaired. Great for the money.Don't waste your time obsessing on what's "best" at this level. Either one will likely be fine. | |
| Experience/thoughts on new Music Hall Classic Turntable? Why are you basing your purchase on where it's made?The majority of products you consume(like it or not) ARE "Made in China"Meaningless. You're in the wrong hobby, if you want you stay "China free" | |
| xperience with Grados The Statement 2 (vs. Audio Technica Art) "But there is one thing I wish for: that is a bit more colour, richness, the leading voice could have a little more vibrance and fealing.I don’t need more detail but on the other hand I don’t want to loose detail or stage." Have you ever considere... | |
| Sumiko BP Evo 3 vs Soundsmith Carmen 2 The thread title caught my attention.Currently listening with different model, but similar brand experience.Instead of replacing a nice LOMC cart($2500), I'm using the latest entry level $400 SS Othello with positive results. My entire setup is ab... | |
| Do I need isolation footers for my components if I'm already using an isolation rack? Careful, reading too much about islolation on forums will result in isolating you from your wallet. | |
| Nordost ECO 3 Static Inhibitor anyone? Been using this stuff since the 80'shttp://www.brillianize.comSpidey senses telling me it does the same thing, for a hell of a lot less.Does a fabulous job on my Nordost stuff. I can see the musical notes appear from the speakers much clearer, aft... |
