| What to upgrade/do next? How much are you budgeting for the upgrade? I am also unclear about the statement about the phono. It seems like the front end, TT, cart, phono would be your best area of focus if you like your speakers and amp. You can probably get a very good li... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? GRK, what are you using for a pre-amp? Can anybody speak to the DC coupling issue that seems like it could cause issues with certain pre-amps? | |
| First Stereo System Help If you like Music Hall, Audiogon member Underwoodwally (Underwood Hi Fi) is a great resource, call Walter. I have no affiliation other than having purchased several pieces from Walter over the years. | |
| First Stereo System Help Prip, it would be worth spending time at those audio stores to get a feel for the different styles of speakers and amps. Be upfront about your budget and objectives and see how they might be able to help you out. | |
| First Stereo System Help Hi, welcome to the forum. If you have $1K to spend on an integrated, speakers, and phono then my advice would be to get an integrated with a phono built in so that you can put more funds towards your speakers. There are a lot of different directio... | |
| The "Eagles" - Best Albums There was a great documentary about the eagles put out recently, excellent. Onhwy61, that is a funny reference. "had a rough night and I ******* hate the eagles man." | |
| 2014 wish list Maybe a new cartridge or even a whole new TT and cartridge. It's still early. | |
| Help with buying used Sonus Faber Cremona m It is hardly every possible to optimize all needs simultaneously. You want a specific model, specific finish, at a steep discount, in 30 days. Are you in congress? | |
| Intractable Problem This is just a wild hunch but I would try another set of speaker cables with your amp to those speakers. It seems like it is something with the speaker wire if you switched speaker wire between channels and nothing changed (same speaker playing at... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Thanks Llyoyd, I will definitely check those suggestions out, I do not need much encouragement, especially at this time of the year. I have heard good things from others about the Macallan 18 and must try even though I am not a fan of the younger ... | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. Charles1dad, I agree, tube amps have their moments but I too have never been subjected to hiss, pops, ticks, etc. My current tube set-up for both pre and amp is very quiet. | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable I figured it out. Free shipping on orders over $99. | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. dchang, the lm218ia worked fine with the silverbacks, plenty of drive, a very good sound. I ran across a used shindo montrachet and auriges and couldn't pass it up, would have been happy with LM and the silverbacks. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I have really started to enjoy scotch and bourbon over the last 3 years but have invested considerable effort to make up for my lost years. In my approach, I really tried to get to know the different scotch regions as well as irish and american wh... | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. I have had Devore SBR speakers for a few years. At audition, I heard them with a Boulder SS which sounded amazing. I have run them with a VAC 80W integrated, a Shindo 15W integrated, an LM218iA 25W integrated, and now a 25W shindo montrachet. Thes... |
