| Best interconnects from preamp to amps, within budget Recently I upgraded my Rega Aria phono preamp to a Rega Aura which actually came with interconnects. I looked them up and they retail for $150/pair. Rega indicates this cable is what is used on their Planar 8 and 10 phono cables. I tried them and ... | |
| Speaker recommendations welcomed I was where you are and decided on Totem Twin Bison. Very at home with Nora to Zeppelin to Billy Strings. They are detailed but not analytical. Large soundstage they just disappear into. I’m listening to the music not the speakers. MSRP $420... | |
| Tube change. I have tube rolled KT88 tubes in a Rogue Cronus integrated amp. I was unaware of Sophia at the time. I tried JJ Blue, PSvane Horizon, and Genelax Gold Lion. My conclusion was the Gold Lions were the most open , had extended bass and treble, and a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Lightnin Hopkins - Hootin’ The Blues. 1964 | |
| Which one would you buy I would have to know if they were factory refurbished. I generally stay away from rebuilt anything, specially from EBay | |
| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? The question I would ask myself is spending 3 times as much worth a 15% improvement in sound quality? For me I have never been satisfied with the cheap route. Being an audiophile is all about chasing that 15%, which is significant. I always go... | |
| What do you care about in this hobby? Sound quality is far and away the most important and fun aspect to listening to music. I can listen to any genre ( well almost) so long as the sound quality, clarity and soundstage is there. Sound quality is my personal perception not something t... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? This has been my experience. If pursuing a tube preamp you can significantly change its sonic characteristics by using NOS tubes. This has allowed me to spend thousands less on the preamp itself and spend $500 on the primary preamp tubes. These... | |
| Replace Rogue Cronus 3 with Rogue Pharoah 2 or HiFi Rose rs520 or suggestions I have no experience with the Cronus and Maggies. But the Cronus responds dramatically to changing the preamp tubes to mid priced NOS tubes. Much more tube like, bigger soundstage and separation. Will never replicate the sound of 300B amp | |
| CD's or Vinyl? There’s room for all. Do what you like. | |
| I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You??? I don’t know what media conveys the music better. There are good and bad recordings of the same album delivered on streaming, cds, or vinyl. One thing I have noticed for me. Listening to digital music and /or solid state amplification I tir... | |
| I changed a Tube and… NOS ( new old stock vintage tubes) are expensive relative to new production but in my experience the sound quality is far superior. Brent happens to be the most reasonable priced NOS tubes. He has a vast knowledge of what tubes work best in spec... | |
| I changed a Tube and… I have a set of NOS preamp tubes I used for 2 months before I sold the Rogue Cronus Magnum II. I bought them from Brent Jessee of AudioTubes.com. 3 Mazda 12au7, 2 GE 7025 (12ax7) $450 The change from stock was extremely dramatic in all aspects... | |
| Validation I don’t need validation from anyone else. Did I put together the system for them or me. I try to keep my ego in check. It’s always cost me money when it shows up | |
