| PSB Synchrony line discontinued?? "In the medium term I'm thinking of downsizing the Cary and the two-chassis SF pre-amp to a hybrid integrated (possibly the Rogue Pharaoh) and was thinking the extra power would permit a different speaker with those last few Hz on the lower end th... | |
| LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one "07-29-14: SteveasheNo I haven't. I'd love to find an LFD dealer in NYC or on Long Island, I doubt there is one. Purchasing an LFD would be an act of faith, as so many of my audio purchases have been without brick and mortar stores easily accessib... | |
| Hales transcendence 8 tweeters "07-26-14: EjvicI wonder what other speakers uses the same tweeter like the one in T8? any ideas."I may be wrong, but I think Hales made their drivers in house. | |
| Audio Research REF 110 or Ref 75 Its a tough choice because both pieces are very good, but there is still room to upgrade. If it were my choice, I would go with a new amp if I thought I didn't have enough power, or some other issue with the amp that you know you don't like. If yo... | |
| PSB Synchrony line discontinued?? You show a pair of 2.5's in your system. I think they are much better than PSB. | |
| Followup-Magnepan 1.7s in a 10x13' dedicated room? One thing that I didn't have time to add in my post from last night is that just because we were talking about some of the flaws in Magnepan's designs, doesn't mean that you shouldn't get them. Use the info provided in these posts to make a better... | |
| Audio Research REF 110 or Ref 75 You'll get more power, of course. More importantly, though, it should be cleaner sounding. The VT100 is great, but it does have a bit of an electronic haze in the higher frequencies. Honestly, its not very bad and I didn't even notice it until I p... | |
| Vandersteen 5A- Power Cords Keithmundy,"People that have not experienced what a well-made power cord can do just have not spent enough time listening to PC's or have been listening to the wrong cords or do not have a system that they are able to discern the differences in po... | |
| LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one "07-29-14: SteveasheNot convincing enough yet:-). Getting there. Which Ayre?"Either, but the new 5 series is the better of the 2. As it should be, given its a lot more money. I know Austinbob disagrees but he has Harbeth speakers and they're just ... | |
| Interconnects Versus Phono Cables "I will be selling the Scoutmaster and upgrading to the Classic 3 in Rosewood, buying a better MC cartridge and the interconnects to go along with it.Other than that I feel the system is stellar."If you stick with AQ you should be OK. They work we... | |
| LFD Integrated - Please talk me out of buying one LFD stands for Left For Debris. Absolute crap. You should be ashamed of yourself for even bringing it up. Get the new Ayre integrated. Its much nicer. | |
| Sage Wood blocks vs Herbies feet for VPI Nomad? Given that your TT is not on a rack designed for audio equipment, it sounds like a good idea. But the only way to know for sure, it to try it. | |
| A little light vinyl reading "I was a DJ, but my DJ records are in mirror shiny condition."That sounds to me like no one ever hired you. lol. No wonder you're giving your TT away. You might as well see if you can get away with stashing some of that mint condition vinyl under ... | |
| Looking for an advice about speaker cables Audioquest is a very good match for Monitor Audio. If you can find some good, used Type 6 or Type 8, that would be ideal for the gear you have. If not, you can get some Type 4 in Best Buy. All 3 are very good, affordable options that should keep y... | |
| Interconnects Versus Phono Cables "The VPI is using a Benz Micro H2 high output MC cartridge. Toward the end of summer I plan on upgrading to a VPI Classic 3 TT along with an Ortofon Cadenza Black MC cartridge and using the moving coil phono stage on the McIntosh."I don't see why ... |
