| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? "There is quite an improvement in SQ over my VPI Aries 2 and Grado Statement 2 cart." That's a nice table you have there skinzy. Enjoy. If you're still curious about other tube options, have you looked at the NVO? It was the buzz in the forums ... | |
| Synergistic ECTs Majority thumbs down YET.... Carry on. | |
| Fear and Loathing in the Audiophile community. Funny and real It's an internet forum... What's difficult about ignoring an agitator? They eventually drop off. If posters just stay on topic and ignore, agitator finds anther sandbox to play in. Pretty simple. Some may need to get out more often or find ano... | |
| Recommend repair tech in so Cal George Meyer is legit. I've had concerns resolved by them. The issue is if they can get the schematic. May be a good idea to email Icon Audio about their authorized repair centers. Some companies will not release schematics to just any repair f... | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ "I guess all of you Springsteen bashers are much better song writers than Bruce." Tough crowd in here, tglib. I could care less about an artists personal beliefs, as it seems to bother some. Springsteen did a heck of a lot better than ZZ Top w... | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter Must be a brand thing? No difference in the REL's to my ears. Seems to be same on the other forum, but with other brands as well. That said, I DO have Nordost Blue Heaven going to them. Nice blue cable going into Cherry finish subs looks bette... | |
| Opinions & experiences with tube coolers The ribbon on the Mapleshade thingies make good IC's. A little funky looking with their crude connectors, but competitive with pricier offerings. Tube add-ons? If one's ears hear benefits...it works-YMMV I have a few of the Mapleshade planks. Pr... | |
| Martin Logan Summit X vs Impression 11A "maybe just one more upgrade and then I'm through." tomcry6-if that's the case, up your budget and reward yourself with the 13's. That or perhaps a pair of Soundlab panels. Back on topic, it may a close lateral "ugrade?" Specs on paper may ind... | |
| Best cost no object tube phono Good grief reimarc! Might be helpful to start a new thread and keep the concern short and concise. I lost interest in reading midway thru. | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ "I'm ordering the table and arm. You can bet Darkness will get a workout." gpgr4blu- Congratulations. The times I've heard a Techdas , it's was a WOW experience. Enjoy it. Springsteen's music can be "busy"-lot going on. Even the "best" pressin... | |
| your opinion? Sonus faber Serafino Tradition vs the Focal Sopra 3 Focal will most certainly be more detailed. Some hear may hear excessive brightness. System/room dependent. YMMV SF will have a subjective "warm/romantic" personality compared. Have not heard Serafino but MANY others, assuming it follows the SF ... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Congrats on the HW40. I'd love to upgrade my 10 year old Classic with one. You could get one of these. HW thought it was one of "the best" he's heard. Personally, I'd just enjoy your already fine setup. https://www.merrillaudio.net/jens-phonos... | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ "Then I put on the Springsteen Magic album to test a really bad sounding album. It was so sludgy, " gpgr4blu- Too bad you didn't bring a good copy of Springsteen's "Darkness" to experience on that Tech Das. "Streets of Fire" would have been mid b... | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ "As to his recorded material most of it was a mess as far as sound goes. Too bright for the most part." jfd11- agreed. If you're into LP's it's worth sifting thru the bins and finding an early press, since Springsteen's earlier stuff isn't in dem... | |
| Help with Cartridge choice musicmatters1206- If you can stretch your budget, there is a Rega P10, 2nd owner listed. That means bargaining power for you. Put a LOMC from the OC9/AT33 series on it, and you will have a significant upgrade without taking on a second mortgage.... |
