| Should I sell my Thorens? Sell.Futzing with an unsatisfactory turntable shouldn't cause consternation, stress or brain cell death. | |
| Best bang for the buck turntable? Depends on your budget. Some people would consider a $25k table to be the best bang for their buck.Stating your price range with limit your responses.I'll start with Music Hall MMF-7, Rega P3, KAB Technics SL1210.Vintage options include Thorens TD... | |
| wattpuppy 5.1 or von schweikert 4mk3hse I've heard both. I'd say the VS is a bit warmer than the WP 5.1, which is a tad more analytical, IMO. | |
| The best CD Player for the money BTW Henry, your outstanding system screams for an APL digital source. | |
| The best CD Player for the money 02-23-07: Mtkhl567I fail to understand how a Denon 3910 could be playing in the super high-end market and be significantly better than Emmlabs.All that's required is some more homework, Henry. You'll discover that an APL Denon 3910 has very little... | |
| Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system Atma-sphere MP-3 Linestage with Phono. Fully balanced. | |
| Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system Adding a tubed preamp will not necessarily provide the "Ah-ha!" moment you might expect. It will certainly sound different to a degree.IMO, you will hear a more substantial change in your system's sound with a tube amp rather than a tube preamp.Ex... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? 02-22-07: AudioblazerHi for those who think Machina dynamics stuffs are snake oils have u actually tried it before u come to that conclusion? One does not have to try the services of a Witch Doctor who shakes a rattle and lights some incense to kn... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Fascinating how these products stay in the forefront with new critical threads. It's hard for me to believe these are anything but intentional plants. | |
| Von Schweikerts' vr4 gen III HSE vs vr4 Jrs? With Tyler's, not one of his Excel models are better than another of his Excel models, just different, but not "better-ed"Bartokfan (Threads | Answers)That's interesting. I wasn't aware that you had heard the entire Tyler line of loudspeakers.Rega... | |
| Von Schweikerts' vr4 gen III HSE vs vr4 Jrs? VR4 Gen III HSE. It's a no brainer. | |
| Silverline's "Prelude" vs. Monitor Audio RS-6 I was disappointed when I read the measurements sidebar in Stereophile's Prelude review and saw that the measured specs didn't align with the claimed specs...by a fairly good margin. I thought the speakers sounded great at CES driven by high power... | |
| Tubes for Vac Super Avatar ?? If you're looking to replace stock VAC tubes with tubes that are visually and sonically equivalent (IMO), then buy Penta Labs KT88SC or Shuguang KT88-98. If you want to experiment with a different sound from the VAC amps, then you're on your own. | |
| 6550s vs kt88s for a mac 275 amp 02-19-07: Velo62Roll the Chinese original Mcintosh 12ax7 and 12at7's with Mullards for warmth and smoothness if you prefer a rolled off softer top end.I agree.Also consider Brimar for even more bloom and warmth.I also concur with Rcprince's chacte... | |
