| Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor?? Best monitors I have heard that are within your budget (2nd hand) are the Totem Mani 2, Dynaudio Special 25, Dynaudio C1. | |
| Jelco and Dynavector After getting some advice from people who know my cart and who know me. The arm that would best suit me is a Origin Live or SME309. I was told to stay away from the SME IV or V.Now I see if I can get a good deal somewhere and if my bank account ag... | |
| Jelco and Dynavector Never mind SME, if I read it correctly the effective tonearm mass of SME arms is to low for the Te Kaitora Rua cart. The SME arms have an effective mass about 9.8grams. The Te Kaitora Rua needs a tonearm with a mass of about 14 to 18 grams if I re... | |
| Jelco and Dynavector To be honest the tonearm market has always been a bit of a mystery to me. On one side of the the spectrum you have the Jeclo tonearms and it's ilk.Then you get the expensive tonearms that often cost more then the turntable it's self.I see the SME ... | |
| how much did you ever spend on a cable? 1100 euro for AudioQuest Rocket 88 speaker cables. The cables are 7 meters long. | |
| do moving coil cartridges have a finite life-span? I used to have Lyra Dorian. After about 6 years the cart was worn out and needed retipping. I traded it in for a Dynavector | |
| Octave vs Ayon integrateds edit:If i were you and you want tube amps, take a good look a Triode Company Japan or Cary. | |
| Octave vs Ayon integrateds I have heard Octave amps and to my they sound good. I am not a tube lover. But I could very well live with Octave. The Octave phono module is great. I have no experience with Ayon. But I would never buy them on looks alone. To much bling. | |

| USB veresus FIREWIRE? I was looking at a second hand Weiss DAC2. But I am not sure if I want to still buy one. The Weiss DAC2 sounds best using the firewire input.Will Jriver or Foobar support firewire? Will there still be firewire PCIe cards available in the future? etc. | |
| Has anybody listened to WLM speakers? I have heard the WLM Diva a few times. They can sound very nice if you are not into big orchestral music, or any other music with a lot of low of if you like rock/metal.They are great with jazz, blues etc. But play Slayer or Wagner and they are no... | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? Since there is hardly any DSD or even high res music available I agree. DSD is dead in the womb. | |
| Phono Amp to replace Pass Aleph Ono I think Pass makes great phono amps, the XP15 and XP25. Are some of the best I have ever heard. But the RCM THERIAA and the van den Hul the Grail (SB) might also be worth considering. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Tannoy DC8T, Usher Dancer II, Magico M5, any Kharma speakers, any LUA amps, Avantgarde speakers go TOOOOOOOOT | |
| Direct Heated Triode Tube DAC by Allnic Audio Labs @WisnonThank you. To be honest I had not seen the Amber before. I knew the Lampi 1, 2 and 3 were long longer in production. So I wrongly presumed the 4 would be the basic model.I'll have a look at the Amber. It would not be my first Polish audio e... |
