| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? HYPED --- To advertise or promote by misleading or exaggerated claims. | |
| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? The Linn LP-12 was, and maybe still is, the most hyped turntable, but over-hyped? Maybe, but let's not forget that it was the pioneer (not that Pioneer) of high-end turntables and changed audiophiles' views concerning the importance of a good fron... | |
| $10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy @emrofsemanon I bought that pair after listening to Stanley Clark's School Days on them. I later had to sell them after moving into a small apartment and regret that I've never had a listening room since that was large enough for Maggies. I still ... | |
| Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor? Everything I own sounds good. Why else would I have it? | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout Your post was very long and I admit I didn't read every word, but when the problem first occurred, why didn't you just switch the cartridges on the tonearms? | |
| $10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy ML speakers are not everyone's cup of tea. They can be initially impressive but wear on the listener after a while. They remind me of the rustling of dry autumn leaves, but that's just me. I would spend some serious time auditioning them before I'... | |
| Tube or SS I'll take your 275 when you're done with it. | |
| Why is black so popular for components? The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Which ARC preamp do you own that costs $1200 to re-tube? And why in this world would you have it in a home theater system? | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @yyetc In your barn a dead horse is still not safe from a beating. How could I, or anyone else, prefer one audio product over another if we had not auditioned them both? "For my system and tastes, I prefer the ARC." Again, if YOU prefer something ... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @yyzsantaabarbaraI thought we were talking about the Op's choice in preamps not mine. I already have a preamp that I am more than happy with. If you find the Benchmark to your liking, then go for it. For my system and my tastes, I prefer the ARC. ... | |
| Planar speaker characteristics The Parasound JC1s are a good match for Maggies, but as others have stated, that's just half of the equation. Be sure your listening room is large enough for the Maggies, otherwise you will be wasting both your time and your money. | |
| One year down, two to go. What's the longest you have saved for one component? An audiophool and his money are soon parted. | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. If you seriously think the Benchmark preamp is "the better choice", then that's what you should buy. I envy your lack of discrimination. | |
| Amazon Ships Records in Plastic Now @lalitk:I suppose I have been fortunate then, as I have ordered and received scores of undamaged LPs from AS. Perhaps the damages your’s incurred had more to do with rough handling than with the shipping parcel? Try to imagine how those LPs would ... |
