| Whats playing on your system today? Fink---Wheels Under My feet on CDLive album. Extremely well recorded. Awesome sound, enjoyable listening. Very cool singer.Bob | |
| Is vintage audio better? I'm starting to look at current (modern) and non-US audio. If you're reasonably handy, in the case of a Lenco TT rebuild, yes vintage is better. I've done most all that can be done to a Lenco however, while following the Lenco Heaven site about Jean Nantais' mods and upgrades.Bob | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA The 10e's have better clarity and dynamics with less coloration possibly due to less room interaction. Everything sounds great, like real instruments. Bass is deep, impactful with no boom at all. | |
| Another help me spend money thread or maybe not.... going to AXPONA I have to agree with roberjerman. The Sanders 10e ESL has an integrated subwoofer per side. They are very portable for one person. With the 2 Magtech amps at 500 watts per channel, they cost $2200. They include the room correction preamp and a... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish Having heard them recently, taking up less than I sq. ft. of space and only 40 inches high, these ATC SCM 40 V2 are among the top of your price class. The ATC speakers are used in more mastering studios than any other for a reason--very dynamic, ... | |
| Looking for the best Preamp with a phono circuit built in sra, Have you actually owned or had an Audible Illusions full preamp in your system to know if what you say is true? I now have a TRL DUDE with many upgrades, plus I've been looking for the phono preamp that can do equal justice and sound as goo ... | |
| Looking for the best Preamp with a phono circuit built in @ketchup The one must be the source with its choices--the other 2 are left and right volume control. Should help your problem in hearing significantly as I’m sure your hearing varies on different days. This will enable you to get ’er done quickly ... | |
| Looking for the best Preamp with a phono circuit built in Agree with celander. The Audible Illusions have a very good phono section. I had a 2D for 18 years and a 3A w/ John Curl MC phono section for 5 years. 23 years of AI enjoyment. I finally decided to go all out and do the preamp, and separate ph... | |
| Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects? inna,I agree, you can set the system off balance or too far in one direction from neutral. In my case, I loved what the Teo GC cables did in my system. I used them from both of my front ends to the preamp. BUT.. when I tried another Teo GC from... | |
| Recommendation on power amp newtoncr,Where are you located? Read up on Nuforce or Nuprime amps, especially with Bob Smith of TDSS' upgrades to them--factory authorized by the way. I've taken mine to 5 different friend's systems and the result was the same in all. It was t... | |
| Any advice on buying quality vinyl udog,I have bought 2 different Super Hot Stampers, the second best record Better Records sells out of a set of the same albums. In both cases, the original records I've had since college both sounded better than the records from Better Records. ... | |
| Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally They must be wonderful speakers as I heard the ATC SCM 40's V2 a few weeks ago and was very impressed. I DIDN'T hear the powered version, however. These were powered by expensive Mac mono amps in an all Mac setup otherwise. They wouldn't let me... | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? @agrippa,Man, I agree with you 100%. About 20 years before my dad died, He came in to see me a couple times when I was separated from my wife for a couple years. I went out and bought a barber shop quartet album because my dad used to sing in one ... | |
| Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects? @pellethead,Thanks for the perk. Love the name btw.Bob | |
| Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects? As you get more experienced at this and in the sound you are hoping to achieve, you will generally get little to no satisfaction when you upgrade slightly or it was a sideways move. I like what the reviewer for Dagogo, Doug Schroeder, said about ... |
