| Thorens 124/125/126 vs Rega P3/MMF-5 OK.I would take all response as "Thorens 124/125/126 models are not only superior to P3/MMF-5 (which cost under $1000) but can be as good as those new ones costing ~$3000 with some extensions/upgrades." | |
| Thorens 124/125/126 vs Rega P3/MMF-5 You mean the thread with topic "Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II"? I have not followed the thread. Thre are 332 posts. I searched for Idlers, but I still don't get it. Is it hard to tell -- Thorens 124/125/126 are as good (better/... | |
| Music Hall MMF-2: How much can it be improved? My current turntable is the Dual CS530 fully automatic belt drive turntable. I messed up with the anti-skating and it does not function properly, so I've been looking for a new TT.I've tried lower versions of Grado (Black and a few lower ones) and... | |
| Upgrading Klipsch La Scala crossovers Would the crossover upgrade improve the base on LaScala?My friend has LaScala made in early 70s driven by 35wpc Dynaco tube amp. I told him about good things about the upgrade I've read here and from Klipsch forum, but he hasn't budged yet.I am al... | |
| burn in, break in Well, I would do.He said the speaker needs some break-in due to the new drivers.The thing is I've bothered him enough and I feel I'd rather do some homework by myself.I've read somewhere that Tyler speakers need 200~300 hours of break-in. Since th... | |
| burn in, break in I got Taylo 7U two days ago. It is used, about 2 years old.Ty (the maker of Taylo speaker) told me that the drivers are brand new. | |
| Number of sales: CD vs LP Yes, I feel somehow stupid to ask such question here. I knew he was dead long, but he was so convincing, so I was wondering. Yeh, he must be smoking something. More probably he read somewhere about the increase rate of the recent LP sales and misi... | |
| Upgrade entire system, speakers first Give a try to Tyler speakers.Check their home demo program: http://tyleracoustics.com/home_demo.html.I've listened to Tyler Woodmere and Taylo Ref monitor, and they are by far the best speakers I've ever listened to, Woodmere for full range and Re... | |

| Klipsch KLF-20 vs. Tyler Talyo 7U? Can it be done easy to upgrade the crossover network? How much? I have KLF-20, KLF-C7, and KSP6 in my home theater setup with Yamaha RXV-3000. I am looking for one for a separate stereo setup, and Taylo 7U is being seriously considered.I can set u... | |
| Klipsch KLF-20 vs. Tyler Talyo 7U? Thanks for your response.Yes, I know about 20 day trial period. However, two way shipping would be over $250, so I am a little bit cautious.Well, I would agree that those are very different speakers. Am I comparing apple to orange? Or, the simple ... |
