| How much to spend on phono preamp I bought a used Manley Chinook from a dealer and am very pleased with it. It is extremely flexible and you can roll tubes for a highly customized sound. I have used both MM and MC inputs. I have no desire to buy another. That does not mean that I ... | |
| Cartridge upgrade You may want to go to Soundsmith official website and read. I went with moving iron, started with Zephyr then moved up to Zephyr MIMC Star, had Zephyr retipped, and will get the Star retipped. They sound and track great. Super bang for the buck va... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Ooops, forgot ZZ Top, seems the band should be rooted in the blues... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? This really made me think. Been to 15 concerts since Jan 1 this year, been going to shows, buying music, since I was 15 (now 63) and also doing the audio thing. So as many of us are, I am truly immersed in this hobby/lifestyle. Impossible for me t... | |
| VPI Prime - How Often Do You Use the Adjustable VTA Base? Thank you all for the replies. I do appreciate it.tooblue - I did have noise from the Scout motor about every six months or so - it would just start up for no reason. I would jiggle the spindle up and down and put a drop or two of that Purple X ra... | |
| Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk.. Primaluna makes a tubed CD player....you may want to check it out. One box, one cable to your integrated. | |
| This is juvenile... Kacey Musgraves - she coolAimee Mann - she cooler | |
| Low power tube amp for Sonus Faber? Call Upscale Audio and talk to Kevin Deal as I think they sell Sonus Faber and tube amps. | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) I owned the Marantz TT essentially made by Clearaudio with the Vituoso Wood cart. I never liked the magnetic tracking approach it had. Moved to a VPI Scout 1.1 with a Soundsmith Zephyr. I remember clearly first record I played - I was surprised at... | |
| Difficulty with SoundStageDirect I quit ordering vinyl from them months ago as it simply took too long to receive it. I did think they had good discounts on specific lps and had some harder to find rock. Sorry to hear about their financial state. I still get emails from them re: ... | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! Go to Upscale Audio website. Good coverage, user reviews, some vids and descriptions of 6922s and variants. Kevin Deal knows tubes. There is a certain synergy with tubes in each individual system. Especially when various components use them. | |
| Danny Kirwan has passed away I played Sunny Side of Heaven in his honor as soon as I heard the news - great artist - I read somewhere he was homeless and lived in a hostel - so sad | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Is anyone familiar with or heard Bache speakers? I have seen some of their models for sale here on A’gon. Thank you. | |
| Suggestions for cartridge, just fancy a change of flavour I listen to lots of rock, ECM label stuff, acoustic and female vocal - Beth Orton, Joni Mitchell, Aimee Mann, Aretha, Imelda May - and went from a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood to a Soundsmith Zephyr (original model) a few years back and really liked i... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... I’m with ya’ Mofimadness, all those lps you like starting with Future Games, had Bob Welch as I am sure you know. He never got the credit he deserved for leading FM with Christine McVie in the mid-Mac era. Bare Trees and Mystery to Me - not a bad ... |
