| Internet Radio on Audiophile Quality 2 Channel System Just using emmLabs NS1 streamer. Access to radio stations worldwide. In addition, you have all other streaming services and your own files. It will be hard to consider a tuner again. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond, I cannot separate one or the other systems in terms of performance. Like my two children (lol). They have different design philosophies yet they both arrive at outstanding levels of music reproduction. Both extremely dynamic, natural and ... | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @drbond, what a difficult, yet fun decision. I happen to own a full Ypsilon and FM Acoustics systems and they are both awesome. Both systems are "buy and forget" as you focus on enjoying music and nothing else. The Ypsilon Phono requires SUTs for ... | |
| Axpona 2022 Thanks for the update. It helps those not being able to attend. Did you or anyone else attending had the chance to listen to Wilson Benesch speakers? what models? what were the impressions? | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers Here is a Cessaro to break the monotony | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 I own the Yamaha NS 5000 (no opinion on Vienna Acoustics or ATC) and it is well matched with Magnum Dynalab Integrated MD 307 and 309 (I own the less expensive 307). Both within your budget but midrange is not forward. The soundstage is deep, wide... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? During the lock down I saw a special offer from the local dealer for the 40.2. Because of the Harbeth hype, I spent 12K without auditioning them as they were sealed / new pair. At home, I discovered it was very limited in its abilities no matter t... | |
| Advice needed re: new CD player purchase I would keep the 508, accepting its limitations. A step up will be the Aesthetix Romulus (at the price range indicated). I bought the SA-10 to play SACDs and is not at the same level as the Meridian. Excellent construction but the DAC should have ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k Maybe you should consider buying a $65K pair and spend 5K to visit dealers / manufacturers to listen to the selected speakers on your list? | |
| Owning the speakers you dreamed of 20 years ago There are definately some great deals out there. I recently bought a B&W 801 Matrix S3 in mint condition for less than 2K. It compares favorably with any 20K speaker or below I have listened to. Smiling every day! | |
| amplifier with volume control FM Acoustics amps have gain control for each channel in the back panel and Vitus Audio used to have the capability for variable output or fixed for 2 sources (not familiar with current models). For example, the VA SS 101 sounds great alone and th... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? 7-8 meters long selves. I still buy about 20 LPs per month but only exceptional recordings and good music in the same package. JPC has many specials with records costing under 20 EUR average. I have noticed the last few years many companies issue ... | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable My original approach was to try and minimize the initial acquisition cost by using a less expensive tonearm than the Schroder CB11 or CB9. I used to have the UP4 long time ago, it was good and liked the interchangeable armtubes. However, I was app... | |
