| 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... | |

| Amp Search and Upgrade You should get good money for your integrated, use that as part of your funds…I’ve got the anthem 225mk2, it’ll put out 400 w at 4 ohms and is very clean. I use the NAD C658 preamp / streamer / DAC and it’ll give you a great DAC plus nice preamp c... | |
| Feel free to talk me off the ledge Ah the rabbit hole, most of us are in it at some point. I was an audiophile in the late 70’s and 80’s, then life got busy and eventually I put my dahlquist DQ-10’s in a closet because they were “too big” per the wife. forward to present day sett... | |
| Anybody have plans for building Dahlquist DQ-10 speaker stands? On the dahlquist Facebook site a guy published full dimensions for the stands. | |
