| Dynaudio Special Forty vs. Contour 20 If you have the electronics....The special 40’s are insane, give them clean clear power and they will amaze, I did mention power right? Ya, they need that in fact twice what they are rated for! And no tube amps here they want fast dynamic power w... | |
| KEF and Paradigm Fast, I would buy the KEF's in a heartbeat. But here is what I'm worried about for you. The Ref 3's 91db rating is a little misleading as these speakers are 4ohm, it will take a AMP of considerable power (300watts) to make them really open up and ... | |
| RT81 vs AT-LP60? Rega ...you cant go wrong with that RP1. Agian I would mount a Ortofon Red or maybe a Blue :-) | |
| Most overrated bands Dude Listing LED ZEPPELIN 1st as a overrated band, just showed me you no nothing about music and you should sell any audio equipment you might own! Matt Miller | |
| Ikea Eket shelves with a large vinyl collection? Plus 2! for the Kallax shelving, you can buy single or double ones and stack them sideways or look at a huge quad! . This is one of the best products for holding vinyl period! http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10275862Matt M | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? This is why I buy McIntosh Double or Quad balanced design. The Mac autoformer takes care that the amp drives the rated output across all loads 2,4,8, without raising distortion! (which these other brands dont do) This gives the Mac a very non fati... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G I'm not saying that DD tables are low grade at all. Its just that they are more for people you like to have full control over the speed , adjusting pitch up or down very accurately using the slider and strobe not to mention super fast starts and s... | |
| RT81 vs AT-LP60? Audio-Technica AT-LP120 - direct-drive ...I really like this budget table, bought one for my nephew at Christmas a few years back. Works great and sounds very nice with a Ortofon RED mounted on it. Highly enjoyable to set up and use. Matt M | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G Eric, at $4000 you are in the JA Michell Gyro SE with Techno Arm price range, call Needle Doctor or Direct Sound. If you like the REGA P3/24 with Exact and you are looking to make this your LAST table, I seriously suggest you look at this table. I... | |
| Crosley should be arrested for selling junk I find that good used records from decades ago (60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s) are much better sounding than almost all newly released records. And the fact that a lot of people are buying up these great sounding records and then taking them home and playin... | |
| How to ship high-end speakers? The only way to properly ship these speakers is with the Original Boxes! If not then your stuck with local pickup. Call Martin Logan and see if they sell boxes or know of some place that makes them. Matt M | |
| How to Sample Cartridges in My Own System? Having a subscription to a couple hard copy magazines (they are cheap) is a good way of seeing what a lot of brands are doing plus there are the reviews which I take with a big grain of salt. Also, If you see something well reviewed and talked abo... | |
| phono stage for Rega Apheta 2 Manley Labs Chinook! You will not regret, plus you can roll 6922's :-) Also, the company is in Chino Ca, NOT China! US made, and the company has excellent service. This phono preamp will play any cartridge the flexability is off the charts and it ... | |
| How to Sample Cartridges in My Own System? You get to buy it then if your not happy you have to sell it used then get a new cartridge, this is why experience with a lot of different cartridges is highly rewarding...and a little costly. Example...Bought a Maestro V2 Ebony and thought it too... | |
