| Upgrading from Primaluna j-wall- looks like you have the gear handled. Room/speaker setup looks compromised-diffusion/damping and giving those Sopras room to breath in that small room appears to be the challenge. Don't forget the ceiling-often neglected-diffuse/damp wi... | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... Well, it started off with me disappointed that I'll have to put off getting the Tech Das for yet another year. | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna Based on the profile pics, your speaker setup and room are far from ideal to hear what your setup can do. After that, get a "better" table/ phono amp. It starts at the source. Your Focals/PL gear will support far "better" table/ phono amp. Whe... | |
| Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "A Night in Tunisia" XRCD 24 celtic66- question to you and other with SOTA digital users: If you play the YT link or web broadast, is it "better" or just as good as a audiophile CD/file? I have heard plenty of SOTA digital-some breathtaking, others...yawn. I don't stream... | |
| Is there a facility that test cables? dadork- I suffer from audio neurosis, but I at least am aware of it. I use all Nordo$t -wall to speaker. Ridiculous at MSRP. Looks impressive to my non audio, musician friends. Giving the builder the benefit of the doubt, you have super magnum... | |
| Schiit Mani 2 Missed the original post of this thread. I used the Mani 1. Great unit. Looks like the current price hasn't been adjusted beyond ridiculous too. Good on Schiit Audio for making the Mani even "better." "BEST" phono amp IMO up to....$3-500? Maybe... | |
| Is there a facility that test cables? You would likely be disappointed if you found out the actual material cost of those "magic cables." What are "tests" going to prove? Do yourself a favor and just use them. Convince yourself they're an improvement to your system more than the prev... | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... "Just wait until these hikes obliterate all the false wealth people thought they had in their house. Meanwhile, my Dividend Aristocrats are still generating the same income they were the day before." jssmith- I'm in SoCal-the land of false wealt... | |
| Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "A Night in Tunisia" XRCD 24 "Blakey is decidedly in the right channel, joined by Wayne Shorter. Left channel is where Lee Morgan lives and center fill is occupied by the acoustic bass and piano." celtic66- recording is reasonably true with stage setup. This is an killer p... | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... Does everyone at least have their system playing as it should? Listen to some uplifting music because today’s market beating was a good one. OUCH! "Not so fast. Retirement takes more planning to avoid taxes. Take too much in regular dividends an... | |
| Led Zeppelin 11 audioguy85- Most here at least recognize Zeppelin as one of the founders of classic heavy rock. Take and ignore the grammar error abuse, as it's part of being on a forum. Your post was too hard to resist. I dig Classic Rock on records, always... | |
| BAT VK51 SE Cool way to read a thread. | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Spend whatever it costs to run a dedicated line. Relatively inexpensive. It will sound even better with a fake carbon fiber duplex cover over a "premium" $25 home depot Leviton. This is my personal experience. YMMV. | |
| Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "A Night in Tunisia" XRCD 24 Let's enjoy it with Ella celtic66- I'm a "purist snob" when it comes to Jazz and Classical from the 50-60's. Most of the good stuff was originally in mono. It's yet another polarizing subject(mono vs stereo)subject. Look for this particular... | |
| Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "A Night in Tunisia" XRCD 24 Great album. I have a very good 1958 press. Still trying to find a reasonably priced very good copy of an original Blue Note Moanin to replace my period, but not so great copy. Just can’t stomach the necessary wallet opening to buy it. I just lo... |
