| Upgrade cartridge or turntable? @miketee Couldn't agree more with you on the clunky VTA adjustment by spacer only. Such a ridiculous design. Then you have the lack of azimuth adjustment. Honestly, why would anyone consider upgrading a cartridge on a P3 if it's nearly mechanic... | |
| NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET Not a salesman but used to be a Nuforce dealer. I smell a sales agenda. | |
| NUPRIME EVOLUTION ONE-BEST CLASS D AMP ON THE MARKET My interest was lost as soon as I read "world's finest" and reference to conventional AB amps as "prehistoric technology". Nothing kills credibility like sensational hyperbole. | |
| What are your top three live concerts of all time? Radiohead September 1995 - opened for REM - Deer Creek IndianaDeep Purple Aug 1988 - Hammerjacks Baltimore - small club unscheduled show. Lineup - Blackmore, Glover, Paice, Gillan, Lord Chick Corea, Al Di Meola and Wayne Shorter - June 1986 Merri... | |
| Upgrade cartridge or turntable? speaking as former Rega P3 owner I don't think you're going to recognize a transformational step change via cart replacement alone. I'd consider applying your $2000 TT budget toward an upgrade on the used market. The P3's inability to provide re... | |
| Please Make Audiogon Cool This thread certainly isn't contributing towards the mission of making Audiogon cool. Sigh. | |
| Prima Luna EVO series amps/preamps now available... The move to balanced outputs was purely borne from marketing. I could tell from past videos how frustrated Kevin was that many consumers simply need to see XLR connections to justify the purchase, regardless if they could ever tell the difference... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Spendor A7 Ditto @avanti1960 . My D7s are now at the 250 hr mark and have sweetened incredibly since the first ~100 hrs, especially in the highs which are much more rounded and lack the initial edge that others describe. I heard these at AXPONA and knew th... | |
| Paradigm Persona the right source matters! @audiotroy Kenjit you are a tool that doesn't understand context. While we all run the risk of getting all sorts of feedback when we place a post, is it really necessary to engage in name calling? Taking the high road has good karma ;-) | |
| What's the better buy for a phono preamp? @hagtech I would guess the former... I'm not sure guesses with no cited basis are all that helpful. | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. @oregonpapa Do we hear the same irritations when other manufacturers upgrade their equipment? Absolutely! That's certainly one of the things that bugs me about ARC is their creation of a perpetual 2-year upgrade cycle. I much prefer the approach ... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. These guys seem to come out with a new improved color fuse every year which starts to make me question the whether there are really material improvements being made or it's more driven by a marketing approach to drive sales. I'm not saying fuses ... | |
| Does your system hate you when you ignore her? @erik_squires I've heard reports from a Pass owner that some of their amps can take 5 days to warm up. The 5 days is a reference to what Mark at Reno HiFi recommends to run in a brand new Pass amp. If you keep it in standby after the break-in per... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today Added small DH cones under my Zesto Allasso SUT this evening. The cones sit atop DH squares. Bigger improvement than I would have expected as the background became blacker and dynamic range bigger. | |
| SUT's -Looking for one with some meat on the bones @almarg makes a good point here as I know this Hana SL cart pretty well. My phono stage provides 43dB gain and then I add 18dB with my SUT to bring it up to 61dB. I set the load right at 400 ohms and it sounds fabulous. I can attest that it sou... |
