| RECORDS THAT HAVE IMPRESSED PEOPLE SO MUCH THEY BOUGHT MY STEREO Wow, Rastus, haven’t heard or thought of them in years. What a blast from the past! | |
| Best sounding compact integrated amp < $2k? Nuprime Ida-8 and Ida-16 are appealing to me regarding a small form factor. My goal is to eventually end up with compact setup.The reviews I’ve seen are positive, but I have not personally heard either. Regards-gary | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? This is an interesting topic. Here’s an observation.My sl1200 mk2 vs $10,000 tt (you pick the model), I’m fine with mine being considered non-audiophile or not as musical.What happens when a $50,000 tt (model picked by it’s passionate owner) joins... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? The 1200mk2 is a good fit for me. I never have compared it to other than my Rega P2- maybe a blessing!But I don’t enjoy farsting with gear, at all, not even a little. I like that it’s adjustable on the fly, sets up with an overhang gauge, and play... | |
| I like Steve Guttenberg. Steve G seems down to Earth and authentic. I like that he doesn’t put down affordable gear. American here with somewhat long hair and beard. Short for 30 years from the Navy and my career. I’m retired now and do what I want.Bestgary | |
| Loudspeaker for second system Sorry, have not heard the Elacs, but I agree the reviews are positive.You will have quite a few speakers to choose from in the $1000 range- especially if you are open to buying used.If possible, audition several to get a handle on your preferences... | |
| Stands? Monoprice has 24” steel stands that look to be pretty solid for $80 a pair. Not sure how much shipping will cost...Monoprice Monolith 24”Regards,gary | |
| Does It have to be loud? Han_n,I tend to listen at lower levels like yourself. My system will get plenty loud (for me) but I don’t feel obliged to use it all. | |
| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement Welcome to retirement! If you’ve been out of the loop for awhile, you may consider taking your time and wading in slowly.Technology has changed somewhat, for instance: streaming music, powered home speakers, room correction technology, etc. I’m am... | |
| DSPeaker Anti-mode 8033 ii works wonders with my new sub Thanks for this post, I'm going to put my sub in the corner and try it. I pulled it toward the listening position to account for any delay in the 8033. Regards-gary | |
| good integrated amps that don't include a phono section or a DAC I have an Anthem 225 integrated and am very happy with it. Phono is built in - no DAC. Plenty of power and control over any speakers I own/ have tried.Used should be within your budget.Regards- | |
| Musician vs. audiophile Is it possible your preamp tubes are aged/not operating within spec? | |
| Speaker Suggestions Norml4721,Thanks for your feedback, I hope to hear the Sophia at some point. I've never heard a Wilson speaker.Soix,I haven't considered Joseph Audio, I'll read up. I own a pair of Jse Infinite Slope .5's - I think they share some DNA.Also, I agre... | |
| Can't we all just get along? Well said. | |
| Can't we all just get along? I understand the original post and it's intention and spirit I think. I remember when it wasn't so controversial and antagonistic on here. I've not been a victim that I can remember, but I'm just a neophyte.Hope you all enjoy the Holidays! |
