| Should I consider a cartridge upgrade? I have not heard your particular cart, but I'm certain it s consistent with the other upper end SS carts-very lifelike and convincing.At least that's what I heard in a SS room with Mr. Ledermann playing my records at a show. If the rest of my syst... | |
| Should I consider a cartridge upgrade? I would do as mentioned- 3D arm,Classic platter,THEN call it a day.Fine until you're ready to swing for the Avenger, or better. | |
| DUAL SUBS IN THE $10,000-$15,000 RANGE I'm not current on what's "hot" and surprised the REL Gibraltardoesnt appear to make it in at least the top 5 subs?I have a simple system with an older B3. Is the current lineup of REL not competitive? The wireless w/remote seems like the ticket,... | |
| Help with picking the right phono pre for the rest of my system please! Apologies, this may be a double post...Parsons, I have the PL HP and a VPI Classic /Audio Technica ART9.You have plenty of fodder to digest here. As long as you get a phono stage with 60 db's of gain, you're good with most LOMC@ .5mv.One model I... | |
| Primaluna amplifier Prologue vs Dialogue Anyone heard both? Worth it? "Is the dialogue with worth close to double the price?"High end audio is similar to many things most of us enjoy. After reading/researching your own ears are the judge. Subjective as anything else. Unfortunately, your wallet can get emptied fast!... | |
| VPI Cartridge People: What next? "Something no one has mentioned...Mcintosh C2300 tube phono stage"I took a quick look and it appears good as anything until you're ready to split hairs/$$$ like everything else audio.The only decision that may be an issue is choosing between the 9... | |
| VPI Cartridge People: What next? If I had your table, I would drop a 3D arm along with what another poster suggested, Audio Technica ART9. The ART 7 as well, if you have plenty of gain to work with. I’m enjoying my VPI classic/ART9. The thread on the ART has a few fans who have ... | |
| VPI Traveler and Lyra Delos consider the Audio Technica ART 9. There is an ongoing thread here praising its price/performance against carts over 1k.I was going to get a Lyra Delos for my VPI Classic, and glad I didn't. Besides saving the $700, I hear everything presented wit... | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. PL Dialogue Premium HP owner here.Essentially the Dialogue Premium, but another set of power tubes and a headphone jack.The Ayon certainly looks sharp and probably sounds great. Based on value/performance for the money, the PL line may have an edg... | |
| Rega RP10 vs. VPI Classic Signature I have a VPI Classic. Having played/modded a Rega P5 with good results,I'm sure the 10 is in another league. After checking out what the Classic Sig has to offer, IMO the VPI would be my choice without even hearing it.Since you are considering car... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... "Any info/impressions on the ART-9 with this Project 9cc arm?"Catcher, I can't speak for your arm/cart combo. I have spent some time with the AT OC9III, now the ART 9. Previous OC9 owners using the ART 9 all seem to nod their heads in approval.A s... | |
| Phono Interconnect Sam, proceed with caution. Particularly if you're expecting a WOW moment. Also consider a used phono amp that retailed for 1 k+.Get it for $5-600. More food for thought-tubed to compliment the already. Fine amp and next level up cart ie LOMC. | |
| Phono Interconnect I have the PL Dialogue Premium HP. Before that, had the Prologue 2 WITH the same phono board option.Considering your level of gear, (and its fine) I found just ordinary $25 video cables used for DVD players adequate(remember those 3 cables:red,blu... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Bflodave, you have nice equipment. Someone here knows Technics, but I'm guessing the ART9 wouldn't be underserved. I'm not qualified to determine any compatibility issues?If anything, you can always get a new table to go with the cart! | |
| VPI classic 3.0 Signature anti-skate. I forgot to mention how I too, enjoyed how the Bird sang on my table. Very convincing. In my system, I couldn't dial out the last bit of occasional "sizzle"/sibalance.Also, found getting the SS ruby rebuild after crashing the Bird changed its pers... |
