"it's like saying that with good equipment u'll get a higher than CD sound from a FM stereo source"Ever heard a great broadcast thru a Marantz 10B, REL Precedent,Mcintosh..?Borrow a power cord from the Cable Co. and hear or not hear the difference... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated My PL HP is going on 2 years. Upgraded from a Prologue 2 which I enjoyed for several years. It didn't have a remote, so that was a big factor upgrading to the HP.Sonic wise, the HP just delivers what all the reviews state.Geat sound is subjective... | |
| Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord You demo list doesn't include Nordost? For 1K used, you can get their latest upper mid level that subjectively competes with all you tried so far. Resale if you don't care for it should be pretty easy. That's how I acquired their otherwise price... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI Helomech-Ive been following this thread.Your table clearly is deserving of a more substantial phono stagePersonally, I would do a cart as well(LOMC)IMO , I believe you just can't hear your table at its best without a good outboard phono stage. My... | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. If you’ve played through tubed guitar amps, you should know a 22 watt Fender Deluxe Reverb is plenty loud and can keep up with a heavy handed drummer.A 20-30 watt amp through some average sensitivity speakers will do the job blasting Zeppelin or t... | |
| VPI 3D printed arm mod. Nothing on the website mentioning this.Would be interesting to learn more about this.How a pivot point completely changes cartridge performance for the better sounds to good to be true?More info needed. | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI Helmech,relative to to the cost of my other components/speakers2-4K retail, I don't believe I would hear a substantial difference in SONICS until I hit next tier of expensive gear:5-10K? Just every now and then can you hear VERY slight pitch devia... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI I have the latest Classic I. If you decide on the VPI, consider the OLDER version, which has the ability to hook up the SDS/Phoenix speed controller. Older models have the motors in the front of plinth. A mod by VPI is necessary for a newer model.... | |
| Upgrade Primaluna Dialogue 2 to Dialogue Premium I have the HP integrated. Upgraded from the Prologue 2.Its a fabulous piece that I found lives up to its Stereophile review and owner raves. Asking if it's "worth it"or a small/large improvement really is subjective. You may need to do an A/B com... | |
| power conditioning question gentlemen If it's simply protection, there's old standby -Brickwall. Inexpensive, effective. | |
| power conditioning question gentlemen Oleschool-Your power setup is unique. If that were my situation, a used PSA Power Plant can be found in your budget. I found a PPP for $700 and no complaints. If it dies, it can still be refreshed at a reasonable cost.Power conditioning, can be a ... | |
| Cart Recommendations As previously mentioned, check out the thread on the Audio Technica ART 9. I have not read a negative review on this cart anywhere. Even HW has mentioned the ART 9 being a great cart. I'm guessing performance will be similar considering you have ... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? "noise,noise,noise even terrible clipped signals!"Undortunate you're having such a bad experience with the Chinook. You must listen at very LOUD levels. When I demoed a Chinook, I didn't hear tube hiss until 1:00 o'clock. That's an unrealistic, e... | |
| Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters? Oleschool-I took a chance with Yes CTTE, and was rewarded with the necessary noise free/black background for the complexities of side 1. The disappointment was that punched up bass that compared to an original,sounds unnatural. This album has a gr... | |
| Atmasphere amps trustable? Because OTL amps are impressive looking with the tube array, there are reports of the significant other in a relationship being lured, subsequently boarding a plane to Fiji with that particular model.Rectification is likely S.S.-diode.Seriously? |
