| Help me decide on phono preamp I have the Schiit Audio Mani phono stage. It is quite good, with excellent detail, separation of instruments, bass, dynamics, and soundstage. I stepped up from an economical Behringer PP400 phono preamp which I consider to be equivalent to what ma... | |
| Turntables I have a new Thorens TD-203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue cartridge. Very detail, musical with excellent pace and rhythm. I’m so impressed with what I have that if I steped up to your price range I’d get the Thorens TD-309 w/ Ortofon 2m Bronze or Black.I bou... | |
| Anyone hear the Egglestonworks Emma SE? The brand is very good but on the fringes of popularity. They are most known for the high-end Andra model. The Emma is at their low end but still $4k. I was hoping for some personal experiences but I suppose I was wishing for too much. There is on... | |
| Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player This is a highly rated cheap cd player on all the audio forums around the net.https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-C-7030-Compact-Player-Black/dp/B004UR487A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=15... | |
| Cartridge recommendations I use the Ortofon 2m Blue. Great detail and timing, air and soundstage, and frequency extensions. One of the best MM in it's price. I've read the 2m Black is about as good as you can get for a MM cartridge. | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue Thanks for great comments. I'm being gun shy about Schiit Audio because of potential customer service issues.I'll look into used in the $100 range and see what shows up. Suppose I can't go wrong w/ a used CA or Rega. | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue Noromance, I cant agree w/ spending more than what my budget is, but you gave a nice positive review of the Mani vs. the PP400. It'll have to be good enough. | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue I’m not on a steakhouse budget right now, though I do love steaks | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue Good suggestions, but at the $300 price range I'll have to keep using the Behringer. At $300 seems like a lot of competition. | |
| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue Cartridge is properly aligned. Room is a bit echoey, but never sounded as thin and bright as I'm hearing now. In what ways will the Mani help the sound, as in what is its sonic signature? What phono stage would be a better match within reason.? | |

| In need high-efficency speakers Those speakers are surely great ones to have, but they may be a little large for our living room and wife's acceptance. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers One thing to be aware of, according to Great Plains Audiio, is alnico magnets loose some of their magnetism over time and need to be re- magnetized. At least it was ther claim on Altec speakers w alnico magnets. YMMV | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Thanks jacks on the heads up. Used to live in Chicago 13 years ago. If I can find Zu listing I can see if my bro can pick up, but he's out of town a lot | |
| In need high-efficency speakers I've done many a stupid thing in the past and parting with this system about 4 years ago has to be at the top of the list. |
