| D’agostino preamp - unfortunate its SS? apparently Nelson Pass has it all wrong too. Amazing these guys can even stay in business, right? (sarcasm font applied). | |
| The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth. Branson only got up about 90 km so technically did not reach space. | |
| The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth. @glennewdick Not sure he never actually left earth he was in low orbit, barely. Not in space as all the news seems to think. Earth ends and outer space starts at the Kármán line, 62 miles (100 kilometers) above earth’s surface. Bezos was at about... | |
| Amplification: what are the biggest advances of the last 40 years? @bobbydd I inquired as to why the new amplifier we were listening to was so expensive? The parts and labor that go into a quality point-to-point constructed amp are incomparably expensive vs 60 years ago. Mass produced, PCB-based HT receivers... | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? Biko - Peter GabrielKeep Me in Your Heart - Warren ZevonElephant - Jason Isbell | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Charles Lloyd --- Manhattan Stories. Two great live sessions recorded in 1965 with a quartet that included Gábor Szabó, Ron Carter, & Pete La Roca. Released (again) during today's RSD so I picked it up after streaming. Love hearing these gu... | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING @rushfan Im running the metal uni pivot right now with a 3d reference gimbaled on the way. It was suggested that, the better damped arm will further improve all aspects of the Kleos.The performance of my Kleos took an enormous leap forward when ... | |
| Buying used vs new? There’s a lot of considerations between new and used purchases, including warranty and availability for gear support if needed. My systems contain a mix of new and used gear. I was able to pick up my VAC preamp for 55% of new retail buying used. I... | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING @pani Get a Shelter 901mk2 or Shelter Accord. Even a Dynavector XX2 mk2 is good. You will be happy.Btw, I have heard the Delos sounding shrill, thin, digital as well as nice & analog. You can’t do anything now with it if it is not sounding yo... | |
| Which Tube Phono Pre Amo? Since the OP wants to stick with MM carts I suspect he will have no issues with achieving "dead quiet" with the Decware or any other competent tube phono preamp. Tube hiss tends to become factor when running very low output MC carts where high ga... | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING @dover +1 Words matter....whether they are true or not, once written they become real. People have a responsibility here when they post - keep in mind the impact on other's livelihood. | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING Not a VPI bashing party, bit it sadly has morphed into unipivot vs gimbal thread. Ugh. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? I suspect a tiny fraction of a % of VAC's customers use their preamps in a HT setting. VAC is 2-channel territory all the way. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @kmmd obviously meant that he runs all digital sources through his VAC. It really wasn’t a confusing comment unless you choose to label it as such. | |
| SET vs Push-Pull (Line Magnetic vs Primaluna) It's about amp/speaker synergy. I find the LM SET amps sound best with a flat, higher impedance load speaker. My LM805ia sounds way better through my 10 ohm DeVores compared to using my Cary SLI-80HS through the same speakers. Conversely the Car... |
