| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? duerte30- Dropped the Hagerman in for the price comparizon to the used Fosgate, which I'm still using. Didn't realize the Project increased in cost over the years. Wouldn't know how the 2 compare. You may be right it's not being a justified exp... | |
| Cheers and a big "thank you" to Lenbrook. Distributor of Dali and others. Imagine that... Customer service with actual customer service. Go out and perform 2 acts of random kindness. | |
| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? duerte30- I meant to include in my last post a new unit also. Hagerman Trumpet looks to be a popular $1k($1200 price point tube unit if you want new. Your overall setup is about the same level as mine, so just passing some experience to save yo... | |
| The past meets the future LP playback is an escape from the audio/computer/internet connection. Having a NAS setup with a huge library and an Ipad is the next best thing since sliced bread. Reading album notes in Roon isn't the same as holding a period LP reading everyth... | |
| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? Check out US Audiomart. Can't link it here. If you want a tube phono stage-Chinook $2k Fosgate $1250 I've had both units side by side in my setup. The Fosgate subjectively sounds more convincing/organic BUT not for you if you must have absolute ... | |
| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? $2-3K MC cart with your table/phono stage is overkill. $1K MC +$2K phono stage will get you more performance. Spend as much as you can tolerate on the phono stage. | |
| My endgame system I think Ronboco, I think many can relate to the cash outlay vs performance vs reality thing. I'm sure your setup "as is" performs quite well. It's shocking/satisfying once you hear speakers at any level in a dedicated space. Now any future changes/ad... | |
| My endgame system I think ronboco- Speakers are visually attention grabbing. Great looking(not a fan of black finishes) and I’m sure equally or better performance. Is black or black only choice? Looking at Rockport’s webistie, I don’t want to know the MSRP on their Lyra ... | |
| My endgame system I think Interesting use of the small area. Looks purpose built and nothing else. Happy listening. | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl The album was recorded in 2019 in digital. No point in owning the LP other than you like "vinyl." The LP/CD/file will sound the same-assuming each medium is of the same caliber. | |
| No Downside of Conditioners for Source Equipment? Great place to advertise your business. | |
| electrical outlets elctriiciansnyc- Let's pray 16 years was long enough for the OP to decide what to buy at Home Depot. Prices may have gone up since 2006. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 "Wavestream Kinetics Deluxe Reference Level 5.1." drbond, no_regrets suggestion arguably might be the "best" true all tube phono stage you'll get. https://theaudioarchive.com/TAA_Products_Wavestream_Kinetics.htm Truly on a different level fro... | |
| Seller Listing Pet Peeve ME! ME! ME! Couldn't resist. | |
| Can a pair of BAT Rex II (Tube) mono block amplifiers make the Martin Logan Neoliths sing? milt808- my experiences hearing the Neolith were in a showroom and private home both not far off in dimensions. Can't give more details other than both were able to demonstrate just how LOUD and competent they can play-simply impractical and U... |
