| Ortofon Quintet Black or Dynavector 20x2L You really don't want to buy a cart based on reviews. Especially a MI design. Call Cable Company and have them send you the Soundsmith, Sumiko and Shelter. That way you can make the right choice. | |
| Who makes coax speakers? " a planar speaker will do that very well - a Magnepan ribbon tweeter will act as a line source "Not everyone can bear to listen to those aluminum ribbon tweeters. He also doesn't have that much room to work with. | |
| Looking to upgrade my towers You would treat the passive the same as any preamp. The line outs on the passive would go to 2 channels on your amp. If you need to use those channels with your HT setup, get a passive with more than 1 input and switch back and forth between the 2. | |
| Bluesound - MQA & SACD? If you want to play actual SACD disks, an SACD player would be the right choice. They can be ripped but its a real PITA.If you have DSD files, you're in good shape because there are plenty of DACS that support the format. I think an Ayre Codex wou... | |
| lap top tunes An Ayre Codex would be a good place to start. It's not that expensive, and can deliver high end sound. Since you already have a good system and know what you're doing, getting a cheap dac is the equivalent to getting an entry level CD player. It w... | |
| Bluesound - MQA & SACD? DSD is the same technology as SACD. | |
| Counterpoint SA-5000 Repair Technician NEEDED! Give Audio Classics in Vestal NY a call. They should be able to fix your preamp. They have a very good reputation. | |
| Who makes coax speakers? Vandersteen and Linn make them as well. | |
| Looking for a new cartridge- Dynavector Karat 17D3 or Sumiko Blackbird Of the 2 carts you list, I think the DV is better. But if it was my system, I would buy a Shelter 501. | |

| Ortofon Quintet Black or Dynavector 20x2L " Im thinking of getting a new cart, maybe with a tad more warmth, but I could be pursuaded to just trade it in and get another 20x2. "If you already have one why buy the same thing again? | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII " The Austrian made Ayons have had good reviews and are 50% less expensive. "You may want to confirm that. I'm pretty sure Ayon is made in China. | |
| Has anyone heard the Harbeth Shl5 plus 40th anniversary edition?? I was actually thinking the same thing. If you don't have a Harbeth dealer, I know a really good one. He specializes in British hifi, and he's very honest. | |
| E-Bay RETURNS, WHAT A BUCKET OF WORMS " How is that different from here ? "Amazon is a much safer place to buy from than ebay. Amazon sells merchandise directly to customers, and they also let independent business sell goods using they're system. You usually don't have any issues wit... | |
| Looking to upgrade my towers You'll hear a big difference even if you get a cheap one. Of course you can spend more money and get one that sounds better, but the main thing is to get the HT processor out of the signal path. I have one made by Channel Island Audio that would b... |
