| Add On For Streaming Mofojo, $500 is a good number for me. I will check it out. | |
| Add On For Streaming Jond, thanks for the idea. You do bring up a real world solution to my worry about renters abusing the system. So far my renters have been couples in their 60s who have been very responsible -- but it only takes one time to, for example, blow th... | |
| Please evaluate my system... Greenacres my personal experience in expanding this down stage is that there was no better upgrade then when I went from the Herron phono preamp to an Audio Research Ref 2A. As I have posted before, I looked and auditioned Pass Labs XP25 as well.... | |
| Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars At around 12-13k used, the Magico S3 (original version) and the TAD Evolution Ones are hard to beat for transparency and coherence. I own the E-1s and have listened extensively to the S3s. Both I'm my view are a step up from the Grand Veenas, whi... | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? I have two in my collection: Cream's Disraeli Gears and Kansas self titled first album (contrary to poster above, the best Kansas album). I love the colors and clothes on the Cream cover; the photo of the band with a storm approaching is pretty aw... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo I completely agree that tubes should be in any system in which 3.7s are the loudspeaker. I got great results with a tube preamp mated to a high current solid state amp. With good source material such a setup performs at a level with systems cost... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo I had Thiel 3.7s for a couple of years. From my firsthand experience, as I have posted here before, I would only recommend a high power high current amp for 3.7s. I had the KW 150 and it simply ran out of steam and went into clipping even at medi... | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? New day, same setup. My daughter is home so it is Americana night: Jason Isbell "Sirens of the Ditch", Anderson East "Delilah" and Lake Street Dive, Side Pony. N | |
| Recommend your best sounding LP's It is hard to pick one but for "you are there" realism Nirvana Unplugged and Neil Young Live at Massey Hall are hard to top. | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? I own the TAD Evolution Ones. The speakers I owned previous to the E-1s were Magico V3 and Thiel 3.7. I have had a very positive experience with the E-1s for the past 8 months. I could not disagree more with those posters who said TAD speakers s... | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? Robert Cray/ Strong Persuader on a Feickert Firebird with Reed 3p arm and Ortofon Windfeld cartridge. | |
| $16K new/used speaker question? Tom, I have enjoyed your posts over the years and happily weigh in here because I just went through a year of searching for speakers in the $15k used bracket. I listened to a lot of different brands. I too was looking for greater bass depth but ... | |
| Pass Labs vs ARC I am assuming, because this is in the Analog forum, you are referring to the Audio Research Reference Phono 2 SE and not the Ref 5 SE preamp. I just auditioned both the Ref 2 SE and the XP-25 phono preamps in my system in the past month and decide... | |
| £15k $22k to spend on speakers...but which? As a Magico owner, I would say that S3 S5 and Q3 are not well suited to your amp because in my experience Magicos sound their best with high current solid state amps. As an all round speaker the Wilson Sophia 3 would be high on my list. I have hea... | |
| XP25 vs Reference Phono 2 SE To answer the question above, I have the Herron VTPH-2. My table is the basis 2500 signature with a Vector 4 arm and my cartridge is Ortofon Winfeld. My biggest concern is that because I have a solid-state preamble, whether I will miss having a tu... |
