$800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system
I traded for some Silverline Minuets a while back. Smallest speaker I've owned. I'm shocked at how satisfying they are. My audio buddy is shopping for some now. Used I'm guessing they run $300-350, as they have been around a few years. Latest vers... 
recommendations for SS integrated with DAC for < $1200?
According to the reviews, some  posters replaced pretty expensive seperates with the Nuprime and were happy. Aside from the promising sound quality, I like the small form factor and onboard Bluetooth- also I was told an interchangeable wifi antenn...

Fwiw, I've read favorable reviews on Nuprime IDA8, I think is the model. Price new is under a grand.Never heard one but I'd like to. I use and enjoy an Anthem 225 Integrated now.Regards,gary 
Silverline Speaker Opinion
Thanks everybody. I'm retired but doing some training for a company this year in 6 or 7 different parts of the country. I really need to plan an audition in one of the more populated areas.Over the years I've owned several speakers but the Silverl... 
Silverline Speaker Opinion
I'm still enjoying the Minuets with a dual 8" Mirage sub I had around here. Good to hear of your good experiences. Keeping an an eye out for used Silverlines, I notice some of the larger models for sale.Do you guys think the larger models maintain... 
Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!!
I am making an assumption that the manufacturing errors are very minimal. If they are not, of course the strategy would be foolish. 
Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!!
This may come as a shock to you guys, but many manufacturers will stand behind a product with a known manufacturing defect- regardless of the paper trail. I know, they are totally poor, inexperienced business people, but it happens. You don't even... 
My new Tyler Acoustics MM5x's
Rpeabs,Congratulations on your new speakers.Not to hijack, but what positioning did you find best with the Usher? I own the 6311 and enjoy them. Interested in learning from others how they set them up.For instance - tow in or straight ahead, etc? ... 
Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!!
I guess I'm one of the two referred to above. My purchases aren't material to Ortofon- but I'd buy an Ortofon product again. Sounds like they just had a couple of issues with the pins, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it right with ...

If I may comment please, with all due respect.-The OP wrote that Ortofon admitted to the manufacturing error. -Also, he was complimenting Nelson Pass, not insulting him.If Ortofon was as concerned as some members on here for their high standing- t...

I totally agree, that's why so many businesses are struggling. The internet gives us more options and smart business owners are putting themselves in customers' shoes. A good example is Tennis Warehouse in CA. They are willing to to give me a high...

Soundsgood05,Good for you!  I'm glad they worked with you on your cartridge. It's good business on their part. I buy most audio components used and have had very, very few issues. When I purchased new I haven't considered the 'authorized dealer' i... 
Ortofon bronze PNP ALERT!!!!!
I'm retired from a leadership role in a manufacturing company. It's a contrast between have to and want to- the letter of the law and the spirit. If we discovered we improperly manufactured a product, which was not often thankfully, we made an att... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
I'm lucky I guess - my girlfriend enjoys my system. Awhile back I gave her a Bluetooth, t amp, mission standmount setup for her living room and she's rocking out every time I go to her house. We're both in our 50's. For you young guys, in my opini... 
Need small size speakers for fireplace.
Fwiw, I recently traded for a pair of Silverline Minuets. Smallest speaker I've owned. I've been delighted with them and they are reviewed positively. The used price is probably 3-400. They are rear ported but I have read of them being used in a b...
