| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? For me its about the size of the soundstage, transparency (i.e. hearing the smallest details of the recording), and dimensionality. I do think what type of music you are listening to is key. I'm sure for heavy metal death rock there are other pa... | |

| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? well I'm 48 and entered the audiophile on a fluke about five years ago. I have loved my journey, learning about tubes and vintage gear mostly, and am lucky to have the disposable income to have bought a dozen pair of speakers and amps in that tim... | |

I'm a klipsch man myself, and am only interested in a pure analog system; mostly acoustic vinyl, tube pre, low watt tube a... | |

However, as I got into the heretiage line, I have fortes and heresys, and further into vinyl, I discovered tubes bring out dimensions in klipsch I did not know were there. I buy ... | |

| Newbie question-- where to throw my frogskins next? OK, learning about HT bypass today. :-) Yes, the cart upgrade was recommended by multiple reviews on the turntable and seemed a no-brainer for $100, same with the $15 cork mat. In the meantime, I disconnected the Moscode amp and took off the ca... | |
| Newbie question-- where to throw my frogskins next? :-) OK, I pulled some triggers. Ordered the moon phono amp after reading a few reviews, the AT 120 EB cart, and a cork mat for my turntable. That's my budget for this week. I'll continue to troll craigslist for the bigger items. Thanks everyo... | |
| Newbie question-- where to throw my frogskins next? Yes my turntable is the USB model with the At-95 cart and I am using the phono stage in the Marantz. Yesterday I spent and hour reading about removing the phono stage from the turntable, but I think I'll hold off on that adventure for now. More... | |
