| Basic question about power/watts Watts is not just about getting loud. Its how it sounds as you turn it up. Even normal listening volume will sound better cuz the cleaner, faster, The watts have an easier path and usually with fewer things to get in the way. Thats what a good qua... | |

| Has anyone had on of these CD players? How good are they? If you can get it for say $300 CDN or less, go for it. If any more I'd definitely recommend the AudioLab 6000CDT. Not a lot of money (got mine used for $550 CDN) and its wonderful, and new/current. No built in DAC so transport only focused on powe... | |
| What is a good turntable preamp under $500? Yes, upgrade TT first. Then get a equally expensive phono preamp (or an newer integrated amp with phono stage). Throwing $500 at just a new phono preamp probably will keep you wondering/expecting more. Original OP question: get a used "ifi phono2... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Just the fact that your asking this question you've answered it yourself. You feel cheated. Trade them for the floor model. If they won't, you've Becker up your suspicions. It would be interesting to see if they use the MIC as floor/demo models. | |
| Help me choose speakers I'd be comfortable recommending the PolkAudio LSiM703 bookshelves. Very placement friendly with the rear powersport and wonderful warm sound. And affordable. Don't poo poo on them just cuz they are Polk, they really are worth con soderation. | |
| The vanishing stereo rack If that picture is the future, count me OUT. What a HORRIBLE looking room to have any experience in. | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Surprised no one has suggested the AudioLab 6000N. I have one and feel the sound quality is brilliant, and its not expensive. Wonderful DAC in it. If you just want to get a quick "feel" for streaming, get a bluetooth receiver like the "1Mii Bluet... | |
| New Analog Technology??? I'm squarely in the "sounds like he's invented the record player" camp. | |
| Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum? "Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile site?" Cuz this is the best place to fix them. | |
| recommendation for phono pre amp and mc cartridge, around 1000$ each I’m using a Rega ANIA MC cartridge feed into an iFi phono2 on a Sony PS-X50 Deck and love it. And would be in your budget. | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl Vinyl had better centre voicing and wider separation of interments. Digital stream was bolder, better clarity yet a little flatter. Main Parasound New classic pre + Parasound Zone Master 2350 (600 watt class D) PSB Image 2B (upgrades tweeters)... | |
| What is your favorite cover? Recently discovered Motorheads version of "Heros" by Bowie. Absolutely brilliant. Can't help but keep thinking of the Ukrainian resistance stand against that tyrant while listening to it. Been bringing me to tears. |
