| Tannoy Legacy Eaton with Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated 'The Eatons are a little harder to drive at 89 dB, but I hope it will be enough with 40 watts to get the best of them." The PL will be fine. The Eatons aren't harder to drive-87-89dB rating is average for most of the market and the PL is capable ... | |
| Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it! In the end, graphs and charts meaningless if the ears aren't convinced. No guarantees with anything more. | |
| The Beatles Revolver ANYTHING released from Beatles, Stones and a few select others is simply TIRED, BORING and a money grab for whoever decides it's time for a new "super" release. Spend the money on a minty first press-at least that's got SOME kind of intrinsic va... | |
| How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement My ML stats and sealed boxes are around 7' out. Get them speakers out in the room to breath! Cardas isn't for a one-size-fits all, but if you have a dedicated space, worth a try. Room Setup Calculators (cardas.com) | |
| Best Phono Cartridge for VPI Titan Turntable Keeping suggestions purely subjective, I'd consider Soundsmith or Audio Technica ART series(ART1000 specifically). I've used both brands on my VPI, and Ledermann uses VPI to demo his carts. Enjoy it. It's a looker. You likely have a proper ph... | |
| What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music? What better reason to keep the money flowing - introduce another "groundbreaking format" for the masses. Yet another reason to get another "better" DOSM, Sgt Peppers....oookkaaay. Isn’t a properly setup stereo convincing enough? A legit room/sys... | |
| Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital? "max out the VPI Classic 1" Listening to a Classic 1 for 10 years or so. As it is stock, it delivers enough of what the $10K+ setups do. You probably already know maxing the phonostage is paramount before sinking any money into the table. As a p... | |
| Cartridge recommendations "I have tried (too) many AT carts, including 160ML, 150MLX, AT24, ART7, ART9, and recently found as ML170 beats most, and does sound very transparent and “airy”. " Not surprised. My emergency backup cart is the $400 Soundsmith Otello. My ears he... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Having a large LP collection isn't a problem unless it looks like this | |
| Used gear prices and the state of the hobby. There's no concern to allow your blood pressure rise... EVERYTHING is negotiable. If the seller doesn't agree with your preferred price-move on. Always something on the horizon waiting for you. | |
| Live Singing - TikTok This isn't a place for anything regarding live performance, let alone Tiktok. Tiktok? ugh | |
| Apple TV Internet Radio Anything to do with audio/listening to music and an internet connection- pass | |
| Right match Mismatch of a Musical Fidelity amp and Musical Fidelity pre? No. You have issues downstream of the pairing. Figure it out. | |
| tube tuner or solid stat tuner "For tubes, get yourself a McIntosh MR78 tuner." Edit for stereo5- The Macintosh MR71 is Macs last tube model, ending in 1969. Arguably 2nd only to the Marantz 10B which is considered top of the food chain. My daily driver is a 67’. Couldn’... | |
| another arm/cart question (long post) Not the best example of what the differences are between ART models, but enough to get the idea- (460) Audio-Technica AT-ART9 vs AT-ART9XA vs AT-ART9XI Moving Coil Cartridge - YouTube "I believe my McIntosh has 60db gain" Might be a little low ... |
