| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable I don’t think a single one of your choices is better than what you have. Just because you can’t adjust azimuth and as far as VTA goes, between the adjustment of arm height and downforce, realistically cover enough range in that respect. By adding ... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages I'm not going to recommend one, but I have never heard a tube phono stage that did not hiss, even if slightly, and not one quiet enough for a low output MC cartridge. If anyone knows of one, I'd like to know | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? To Schiit or not to Schiit? Shakespeare? Wait, what was the question? | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. One more thing, master clock generators or typically known as a word clocks don't speed up functions of the player but take the data stream, samples to an even higher rate of accuracy making for even better sound. Expensive? You bet, but the diff... | |
| I heard a costly system from Esoteric. @jackhifiguy, you are not here to learn, you're here hoping to find someone who agrees with you, a kindred spirit if you will, to justify your apparent dislike of Esoteric products but it seems to go deeper as if you were dissed, hurt, by a woman... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? My brother, before he went off to study the Viola at Indiana State University studied with Milton Preves, a violist who was the first chair in the CSO (Chicago Symphony) Orchestra). He taught students at his home here on the Northshore. I was... | |
| What is Tight Bass? Do you not see any live music? A symphony? A local jazz club, Folk music? Really any live musical event, even a parade filled with marching bands. If you haven't, then all the discussion on what tight bass is is frankly a waste of time without ... | |
| I need help regarding tube phono preamplifiers Yes, I do have some knowledge, experience on the subject. While not the lowest output MC cartridge, .48 mV output is pretty low, and the likelihood hood of hiss will creep into your listening pleasure. I use cartridges typically around .2 mV and... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges Jasonbourne is right on the money. The Hana is fantastic; virtually nothing to compare to those overrated Ortofon's, especially a 2M ( kind of plodding and boring really ). An Audio Technica at half the price of a 2M would at the very least be i... | |
| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject Is there any actual evidence that lp's sound better than digital or otherwise? When auditioning my latest speakers, the dealer used all Esoteric equipment. Did this over three days using insane equipment (for me) including a network dac (N-01XD ... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter Cannot believe a rep would say that about his own products. | |
| Speakers for daughter Is this system more about pleasing you or your daughter? Get her what she wants because she will probably end up not using what you think she may like and it will sit there collecting dust or break it. Don't overthink it. | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel A lot of good points were made in the responses to your question about Danny's company. It's interesting to find out that those $4000.00 a pair Revel speakers have less than twenty bucks worth of x-over parts. And that's a lot of companies doing... | |
| Budget integrated amp needed I think that you will have to buy used. I'm putting together a system for some very un audio friends for about a thousand bucks. When talking to a few local dealers about something at your price point, there wasn't much but one dealer, while we ... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? It was 1977 and I and a couple of others decided to head into the loop (Chicago) and near north to make a day of it, getting high and just enjoying ourselves. We were graduating high school in a few days. One of the things we did was head over to ... |
