| Best amp for Salon 2 FWIW, I own Studio 2's. I am extremely pleased driving the speakers with a Pass Labs X250.8 amplifier. It's been quite the pairing here for the last 7 plus years. | |
| 2023 Audio System Wish List @jrosemd apt-Holman was a fine amp in its day but I am convinced preamps have come a long long way | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? For me this one is easy- I have been into hifi and music since the 1970's. between LPs, which I never gave up on, CD and cassettes, I have thousands of titles on hand. I started to table in streaming a little over a year ago and took the full plun... | |
| Sonic differences Ariston 11S vs Linn LP-12 @daveyf The Karousel is silly good | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? I had a 150.8 briefly; then compared it to the 250.8. I found there 150.8 not tremendously involving- power was not the issue. I found the 250.8 much more involving and have owned that for 7 years now. It's a forever amp. | |
| How did you get started in this hobby In the early 70’s my sister got a Panasonic compact system. I eventually bought an 8 track player and connected it to her system. Next step was my sister’s friend got married and when I went to their home the husband had a hifi like I had never he... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? No I don’t share what I spend or have spent | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- @johnread57 where have I gone? Nowhere; just seeing how this has taken on a life of its own | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Tech Hifi- Manhattan store- in the 40's I think. 1970's- I think either 76 or 77 | |
| MoFi controversy FWIW, AP's 2 disc 45 RPM Folk Singer is clearly superior, in my system, to the One Step Folk Singer. Live and learn- | |
| After the thrill is gone I'm as thrilled with my speakers today as I was the day I bought them in 2015. | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable I am plenty happy with my LP12- next yer will be my 25th year owning it. Anyone who says the LP12 easily drifts out of adjustment has not had experience with an LP12 in at least 30 years. Frankly, one of the more remarkable improvements over the y... | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? @lpretiring Who's asking 10K for a fuse? I gotta see this! | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? @holmz "I can point to handfuls of speakers I would be happy with, from quite a few manufactures. That gets a lot harder in the $1000 range as there are usually 2 or more flaws so we have your “Pros and cons”… the better ones just have fewer con... | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? @audioguy85 Indeed! I bought a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.2's this year. I've been fooling around in the audio world since the mid 70's. The 12.2's are much better than anything available, inflation compensated, for the same money in the 70's... |
