| The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam? Will the audiophile/audiophool demarcation line ever be "defined?" I think...NOT! | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Audiophool "grass might be greener..." is uncurable. Use it when you REALLY start opening the wallet WIDE$$$. Denafrips is solid. I use the Gen 1 Ares, but I'm an LP disciple anywho. Just looks like hyped up marketing of the CNC case/build. Do... | |
| Specific SUT with unusual case scenario question from a LOMC N00b The Google AI response: "For a .4mV output moving coil (MC) cartridge, you'll typically need a phono stage with around 60-62dB of gain. " As mentioned, I use the same PL unit as the OP and use a .4mv cart. The OP should demo something and comp... | |
| Specific SUT with unusual case scenario question from a LOMC N00b Whew! Post is a little run on... Try the Red into the PL. It’s not going to hurt anythingng. I use the same model with a .4mv into a tube integrated On paper, a little low, suggesting I may be loosing out on full potential dynamics. In my setup... | |
| Unipivot tone arms On paper, unipivot is inferior. Properly setup and handled, you're not going to "hear" its deficits comparing it with other implementations. S.O.T.A. tables typically are NOT unipivot. Longtime VPI user. | |
| Pure Fidelity / Rega NOT a bad space to be in. Quite familiar with P10. Feel safe in saying anyone considering Rega at the highest level is getting their money's worth. PF appears to get positive reviews. If it were me, I would be looking at used stuff as well. I'v... | |
| Organ music, your system, and an old German A cup of dark roast and an early 50’s-60’s Living Presence Marel Dupree is a great way to start a day. Thankfully, the genre is in low demand/cheap and plentiful in my neck of the woods. I have a few, along with E Power Biggs on Columbia. The gre... | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? Percussion- If you want to be a purist weirdo like me, get this. Or, just get a reissue and enjoy some "straight ahead" Jazz Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers – Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers – Vinyl (LP, Album, Mono), 1958 [r757945] | D... | |

| PrimaLuna EVO 400 v Cary SLI-100 Hear essentially the same performance as the PL EVO 400 and save a considerable amount off cash by looking at the Dialogue HP- previous generation. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisbb2ga-primaluna-dialogue-premium-hp-integrated-tube The mone... | |
| Comments on Fanfare FM-2G - FM Antenna 22 year old thread. Shouldn't the tuners signal strength meter tell you where it likes the antenna? The higher the better for one thing. | |
| Would it make sense and be safe to put power conditioner in front of PS Audio regenerator? "I wonder if audiophile grade outlet would help." Listening to your setup from 11:00PM to 4:00 AM while the grid is less strained will probably yield better results than buying more audiophool accessories. | |
| Would it make sense and be safe to put power conditioner in front of PS Audio regenerator? "I could also experiment more with power cords from the wall but this Purist works well," Unnecessary audionervosa. I use a PPP. It's 18 years old. PS Audio refreshed it in 2020, and good for another 10 years. They no longer support it. The ou... | |
| Hipster/Chic "Vinyl" playing machine $6450?!!! WOW! I hope the company did their target market research... Maybe for the non audio type who get stuff like this: A duct-taped banana sells for $6.2 million at an art auction : NPR | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? Cryogenic treatment-surprised it hasn't been mentioned earlier. Cryogenically Treated Tubes, the most cost-effective tweak for your audio system Of course, only for those who believe. |
