| Gyrodec Best Tonearm I've been using a Graham 2.2 arm on my heavily modified (Pedersen) Michell Orbe SE for a couple decades; nice combo. Many folks like SME arms on Michell tables as stated above. With all the positive Zeta arm comments, perhaps the best route woul... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Lots of good advice. You should also add Black Ice Audio, formerly Jolida, to your audition list. IMHO, the current best value in tube audio. | |
| Ceiling fan in listening room? A ceiling fan will modulate the air and effect the sound quality. How much? That's for you to figure out. It may not be an issue for many. Several years ago, a piano tuner (I only use tuners that tune by ear, not with a machine) was over to tune ... | |
| Best TT setup for 2k Agree with the positive comments regarding Jolida. Their new company, Black Ice Audio, is even better. Their Fusion MkIII phono stage retails for $850. A Rega P6 with a Soundsmith Otello cartridge would come in right around $2k if you can find a ... | |
| My experience with Roon Hardware I've been using a Nucleus+ for almost three years and have not experienced any of the problems you describe. Perhaps you have a network issue. I do agree with you regarding your frustration with the Roon support system. I think it would be best ... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Incredible deal on the Zesto. Congratulations on finding one for so little. They make excellent products. As far as new goes, the Black Ice Audio Fusion F360 is a great sounding tube line stage with some unique features. $2k retail. | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? US manufactured speakers offer better value since shipping speakers from overseas adds considerable cost, especially these days with all the logistics issues.. So, that would be a big factor for me; biggest bang for the buck. And, IMHO, Legacy is... | |
| Legacy Audio Aeris vs "V" I'm glad you're happy with the Pass amps, a good product. For others in a similar position, I would strongly recommend also auditioning Coda amps. Legacy originally voiced their speakers with Coda amps (rebranded for Legacy) before they moved to ... | |
| Adding a Herron VTSP 3A/360 Preamplifier to the system. You're welcome. | |
| Weiss 501 DAC Your response has nothing to do with answering the OP’s question. Just a transparent attempt at stroking your fragile ego. Sheesh... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC And on and on it goes... | |
| Need help on phono stage For roughly the price of the Aria you can purchase the Black Ice Audio Fusion 159 phono stage. Since Rega has a fixed headshell (no azimuth adjustability), the very useful and easy to use electronic azimuth adjustment provided by the F159 is a mus... | |
| In-wall ethernet cable for streamer High quality CAT 5e, 6 and 6a at very reasonable pricing. I would go with 6a on longer runs. Blue Jean Ethernet Cable | |
| Weiss 501 DAC Typical Audiogon thread. What's any of this have to do with the OP's question? Thank you to Verdant Audio for actually answering the question BASED ON ACTUAL EXPERIENCE. Highly unusual for Audiogon. | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? I agree, avoid Sophia, also had a bad experience with them. @argonsteele Thanks for the tip and review of the PSVane WE 300B replicas. I'm going to try a pair; can't go wrong at that price. |
