| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! +1 @millercarbon Also, I have found that the pre amp is the "heart" of the system. Everything passes through it so you want it to be as transparent as possible. To get the best from your speakers you have to have the best components upstream. The... | |
| Speaker suggestions Spend the money on room treatment before upgrading your speakers. $2-3k on that will transform your system. Then worry about whether or not to change speakers.Just my 2 cents. | |
| Best MM? I have no idea what "the best" is, but I installed a 2M Black on my brother in law's VPI Prime, and it sounds awesome for the price. Which is half your budget. | |
| For those of us over 60.. I have to say The Mothers of Invention, and secondly Jefferson Airplane, especially their Baxter's LP. | |
| Bands with great second albums While I like Medusa, I think Diva was a way better album from Annie. Medusa is almost as strong, but I don't think it beats it. IMHO. | |
| Bands with great second albums Sailor by Steve Miller BandOne of my all time favorite LP's. | |
| What used speakers raraely come up for sale Any of the Apogee models. | |
| Yanni or Laurel? Anyone hear "Yarry"? That's what I hear. | |

| HD Vinyl - The Future is Here The biggest advantage here is that the first disc pressed, and the 10000 disc pressed, from the same stamper will be of the same quality, rather than a slow drop off of quality during the total production run. Since most LP's are from high res fil... | |
| Digitizing LPs Look at the Sugar Cube. It declicks as it works, so you can eliminate at least one step of the conversion process. Analogplanet has a favorable review of it up now. | |
| SYSTEM COMPLETE FINALLY! That's great that you found something you are happy with in only 10 years. I started almost 50 years ago now, but I am finished now.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/3523/editYou can check out my system at the above link in the Virtual Systems.... | |
| Calling all Oracle TT owners. I've used the Graham 2.0 with Mk III, IV, & V, and currently use the Graham Phantom III Supreme with my mk VI v.2. Both arms have worked extremely well with all my Dephii. I did have to use the stronger spring when I installed the Phantom.I th... | |
| What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you? +1 what initforthemusic and timlub said. MOST of the rest of the responses do not match my 45 years of experience in this hobby. But quality will matter over quantity, and I love great big power supplies.Good listening, |
