| Try a different turntable? The Origin live table I set up was the Sovereign. I hear their tables all have very similar sound. | |
| Try a different turntable? I have tried out a several of VPIs and several of the Sotas and both are great tables. I tend to like the SME arms over the VPI arms and lean towards the Sota turntables for that reason. The SMEs are easier to set up and in my opinion sound better... | |
| Anyone try the new Parasound Phono Stage? I a would also like know as well? I had a Vendetta Research for while and was great and I hear that the new JC 3 is designed also by John Curl as well. | |
| Analog vs PC I have musicstreamer II+ and it quite good and worth every penny that being said it still does not hold a candle to my cheap turntable which is worth about $1,000 including arm and cartridge. If you add the costs of a dedicated PC or Mac you have ... | |
| Cryo'ed LP's Cryo treated a new SSD hard drive for Mach2Music Mac mini music server and bit the dust. My advice cryo wire and careful with all the rest.How ever I ordered a new SME IV.vi and I'mgoing to have cryo treated | |
| upgrading Pass x250 to Pass xa60.5 totally different league. The X250 will probably play louder but the XA60.5 will sound much better. If you have a X250.5 not a X250.5 you will have two jumps in quality of sound! | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? I do not mention it until the lady see the system and ask questions. I avoid the how much did it cost question like the plague. I defelect the quetion just like the washington prostitians. My girlfriend at first thought it was crazy but enjoys lis... | |
| Dual CS5000 vs. Pioneer PL-530 I have had other Dual tt that sounded better than the CS 5000. The CS 5000 is one of Duals worst sounding tts. That pioneer is not the best tt but I bet it sounds better than the CS5000 | |
| Dual CS5000 vs. Pioneer PL-530 Get the Pioneer. I owned a CS 5000 it was ok. I tried many different cartridges just to have it sound dry and boring. My brother owned a Pioneer PL 530 and it always had a great sound very envolving! | |
| Throwing your gear under the bus Where do I start, too many to list! Infinity 8 Kappas with Forte monoblocks that set up sounded awewsome. Sold it to buy a pair of B&W 801 Matrix IIIs and a Krell KAS 200S amp. I stopped listening for a long time. It struck me when I went over... | |
| Turntable suggestions for novice... Don't do it! Its expensive I got back into vinyl about 6 years ago. I said I would not spend more than $1000.00. Now my turntable set up is an upper end Sota turntable with SME V arm, Zyx 4D cartridge, and Zyx Artisan phono amp which has stuck a s... | |
| Db audiolabs Tranquility Sig vs Wyred4Sound Dac 2 You will have to listen to both to answer that question. I have had the Tranquility DAC in my system for a month. It belongs to a friend and he needed back. It is an exceptionally good DAC. It will only do 16 bit 44.1K but it is one of the better ... | |
| b&w 802 n to what speaker Upgrade your crossover in 802N. I like the 802N more than the Diamond. I like paperpulp woofer better than the rohacell. I like the aluminum tweeter better than the diamond. If you re-do the crossove and use better internal wire better capacitors,... | |
| Preamp to go with Pass Labs Rushmore Speaker Try the Allnic L-3000. I tried one and loved but $10K is a little more than I wan to spend on a pre-amp. | |
| Best Fully Automatic TT All the good automatic turntables are going to be used. Not many manufacturers are doing semi or automatic turntables these days. Denon has one out for $300.00 or so. The better deal will be used. |
