| Salk VS Monitor Audio I have no doubt that the treble would be superior. I'm a bit more concerned about trading two 6" woofers per speaker for one 7.5" per speaker. | |
| Salk VS Monitor Audio Thanks for the replies. | |
| Anticables: Scam? An engineer would tell you that the only factors that really matter are resistance and shielding, unless the wire is carrying very small current as those produced by phono carts.If you can't hear a difference, you might as well return the Anti Cab... | |
| More from VPI! $10K for an assemblage of random VPI parts, from turntables that cost less than $5K. Well done VPI...Well done. | |
| Dumb question #643: should speaker cables last a lifetime? Current cable technology is no better than it was 40 years ago. | |
| Turn table for my kid??? Tboooe,Definitely look into the Denon DP-300F for your price range. It has a built in phono preamp and is probably built better than the AT offerings. Crutchfield recently had them on sale for $200. I agree with Nordicnorm that you'll get the most... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Though the Roundtable might be a good value at $300, I highly doubt it will perform as well as most tables in the $1k range. Since you seem to be looking for new instead of used, I highly recommend trying a Pioneer PLX1000 if you don't have an ave... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Out of curiosity I just checked the MD site and they still have the refurbished Marantz's for $1195. | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 If I were in your predicament, I'd try to stretch the budget a bit and try the Marantz TT-15S1. They come with a pre mounted Clear Audio Virtuoso cartridge.I think the turntable is actually made by Clear Audio and rebadged as Marantz.I think it's ... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI I can't help but wonder what it costs VPI to print their 3D tonearms. | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. I tend to compare audio classes to automotive classes.One can spend $400K on a Lambo Aventador and take a very fast, thrilling drive around the Nurburgring, or someone can buy a $100K Nissan GTR, and get similar numbers. The drive is just as thril... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI Biketony,Congrats on your new rig. I'm glad it turned out to be a good upgrade over your Thorens. | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI biketony,I didn't own the Classic for very long but in the brief time I did, it didn't outperform my Thorens. My Thorens does have some low rumble noise at higher volumes that the VPI did not. I currently have a $300 cart mounted to my Thorens (w... | |
| Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time? I think these situations were the major contributor to the success of Bluetooth speakers and sound bars. | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! I would never imagine that 88db/ 6 ohm speakers in a 14x16' room need a high power amp (unless their specs are misleading). I think you'd be hard pressed to beat the already mentioned Parasound A23 at that price point. That amp should provide more... |
