| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? My first: Creek 4330 integrated, JM Lab micro carat speakers and a Rotel RCD-02 CD spinner, with Kimber 4 strand speaker cable and PBJ interconnects. I think I spent about $2,300 in the 1980’s. Still respect that system. | |
| Do you trust Audiogon? The OP seems be justified to be suspicious, but that doesn’t mean he was going to get ripped off. I know nothing of the circumstances or deal but I’ll add that lots of “honest folks” do “cheat on their taxes”.Ultimately, it’s wise to protect your... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @sbank Thanks for all your insight, I’d go on but be superfluous. Really appreciate it. @bpoletti Thanks to you as well, I don’t disagree that that TT isn’t a great deal, but not for me, Cheers,Jim | |
| TNT Hot Rod vs SL-1200G Thanks to all for your - as usual - excellent advice and experiences. I think that given the cost of shipping, SDS and space considerations, the Technics is probably a better option for me. Thanks again! | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart That does look like a good deal. The only issue is shipping to NJ. I messaged the guy and he’s willing. I just need to think about it and maybe contact VPI to see if they'll give it a once over. | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @joey54 The adjustability is one of the main reasons I’m currently planning on the Herron VTPH-2A. When I spoke with Keith he said I probably wouldn’t need any loading plugs with the AT9. I’ll talk with Nick first and see what other carts he might... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @joey54 Thanks, as I recall he has blonde hair and glasses.I figure that I’ll buy my phono pre and so I can audition with my amps.I would appreciate if anyone can comment on the tables these brands offer as I’d like to buy from Audio Connection; b... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart Thanks all- very sincerely! The question that plagues my mind is where and how I can audition these different preamps and turntables, or more importantly combinations of same - and at the same time separate the differences in the carts or other ge... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @rauliruegas I’m certain you have an expert opinion to debate with others, yet at this point the debate of SS vs Tube phono pre-amps is irrelevant to my decision. I’d appreciate it if you’d take the discussion to a different thread or engage priva... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @atmasphere Thanks- Any suggestion on playter pad upgrade?@stringreen I was just at John Rutan’s a couple of weeks ago, listening to the new Ayre EX-8 integrated. As far as TT’s go, he carries VPI, and Clear Audio, which is the reason I was consi... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart Hmmm, according to this review, the Technics SL1300G needs some mods to bring out its potential. | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @sbank and @atmasphere Its not too late at all. I won’t be making my purchases for a month or more. The only items I’m petty convinced on are the Herron and the ART9.Thanks for the leads. | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks Love Susan TedeschiYears ago I saw Susan Tedeschi and Buddy Guy warming up for Johnny Lang in Stanhope, NJ on what happened to be Buddy’s Birthday. Yes, you read that right, Buddy Guy was opening for Johnny Lang! Nothing against Johnny Lang, he wa... | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks I like Neko Case For my taste I finds “Hold in, Hold On” a bit too unnatural and I like some of her other songs better where you hear her natural tone. This artist may already be familiar to many but I also really like Rhiannon Giddens. Check her ... | |
| Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks @phaeton16 REALLY digging Beth Hart! Thanks, aside from her obvious talent I like her style and the musical composition. |
