| Most beautiful turntable under $5k Another vote for the Oracle Delphi, and I like the rather stark look of my VPI TNT 5. Recently wanted a turntable for my third system and didn't really want a run of the mill appearance. Ended up with one of these - look like a sculpture in plex... | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio The main problem people seem to have with the pursuit of good sound is when to stop. Many do find a happy level that satisfies them and stop buying gear, but many others seem driven to continue obsessing and spending money endlessly. I am a type... | |
| Hegel H390/H590 with Wilson Audio Sabrina X The 390 should have tons of power for your speakers. The Sabrina X are lower sensitivity than many Wilsons but those amps have lots of grunt. (I drive a larger much heavier Wilson with only 70 watts). | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? There are lots of possible tube to use. My favourite preamp uses 6GK5s. | |
| King Crimson If you have a video set up you might enjoy the DVD King Crimson Deja Vrooom. | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? Do you want to give your insurance company an excuse not to pay you if your equipment starts a fire, albeit a small chance ? I agree in principal but disagree on the last bit. It isn't a small chance that the insurance would be invalidated it i... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! Not my cuppa cha. Now give me the speakers right behind them...! | |
| Need help picking my first tube amp Shop for used Quicksilver or similar. | |

| Advice needed on MC cartridges I've listened to the Hana quite a bit in a friend's system and that is a good suggestion. I recently picked up a third turntable and part of the package was a MC pickup - a Goldring Eroica LX (low output) that I had planned to swap out for someth... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? With more money spent on speakers you should get better more rigid enclosures, higher priced more accurate drivers and usually (but sadly not always) a well though out design. You will gain clarity in the top range and control in the bottom end, ... | |
| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? The Hayabusa is a very expensive very neat engine, but there are many lesser modern engines that work well in street cars. My daily driver has a 2.0 4 cylinder The sound they make isn't as nice, but it puts out 375 bhp and 375 Tq and gets 30 mpg ... | |
| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? It is actually a 1956 MGA under the skin with a GM V6 I transplanted into it and a body by Fiberfab called a Jamaican made in the 1960s.. It is another hobby of mine. | |
| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? Well this thread took an unlikely turn - didn't expect to see cars as a subject of discussion. Best sound comes from a V12 (I miss my old Lamborghini!), next best from a straight six (sold my MGC but still have a BMW Z4MC), and after that maybe t... | |
