| Records and CDs I only recently upped by vinyl playback game with a nice phono preamp and new cart, that took me to a new level in sound that surpasses what before was best, streaming. I’ve a modest digital system ( NAD C658 streaming preamp), but it sounds very ... | |
| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. I recently went thru the phonostage research and purchase process, it can be a blur! In the end I purchased the black ice audio F159 tube phonostage. Totally transformed my vinyl playback and then I upgraded to an old school Grace F9 cart with R... | |
| Seeking Legit Cartridge Expert? As to the actual original question: Peter Ledermann at SoundSmith. | |
| Need a big favor picking a preamp Curious as to why you’re moving on from the prima Luna evo 400, that’s on my radar as a preamp upgrade…. | |
| A little gift for my fellow audiophiles I copied the song list and will see if I can find them on Tidal… | |
| Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome This is a rabbit hole I went down recently as well. The widely diverse responses can be bewildering! I ended up getting lucky and finding a black ice audio f159 for under $1,000….its wrapped under our tree so I’ve yet to hear it!!! That said it’... | |
| High quality recordings any genre I too find myself seeking out well recorded music because it makes my system come alive in a way lesser recordings cannot. that doesn’t mean I don’t listen to or enjoy those less well recorded music. for instance, for all the hub-bub about Dark ... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Funny how many responders can’t follow directions! It was ONE album! 😹 but ditto on Aja…. | |
| Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers? I too have tinnitus but listening to my music never seems to bother me even when played loud. I am using Martin Logan electrostatics….you might consider auditioning this type of speaker, there’s no specific driver emitting high frequency sound a... | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything I’m a proud owner of ML Classic 9’s setup in a small bedroom, max size speaker for the space but with some properly placed acoustic panels to control reflections the sound is immersive and clear, a B&W sub makes sure the bass is deep and tight... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range So I got really lucky and found a Black Ice Audio Fusion F159 hybrid tube preamp on US Audiomart ($1,875 retail), within my budget. It’ll be delivered tomorrow but it’s a Christmas gift (from the wife to me), so I’ll not get to try her out unti... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range Addendum…the hagerman trumpet while listed as a MC preamp can be used for MM too, currently on sale for just outside my $1k threshold….hmmm! | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range Thank you everyone for your input! I’m intrigued by the Hagerman Cornet 4, on sale currently for $500, the downside is it’s MM only with zero adjustments. I don’t want to rule out a MC cartridge in my future (without having to buy more gear). I... | |
| Picking a speakers You don’t need our group permission to buy the 804N’s! Clearly you’re just looking for someone to tell you to get them. If that’s what you really want….then go for it! | |
| Integrated for Martin Logan Electrostatics I concur in the Anthem STR, I’m running the Anthem MCA225mk2 to run my Classic 9’s (so it’s powering the panels and woofers), and it’s a great match. if you look under the cover of ML’s own line of amplification gear, it’s Anthem inside…which tel... |
