I am interested to update my 15 year old system ! I am also a cyclist. Love my audio though. Bikes have gotten expensive. I do not have anything to add to help you except be careful with speakers like mentioned earlier in the discussion. I had my refence pair completely refurbished and it changed... | |
Vinyl - One Word - WOW!! Great hearing this! There is nothing like a good sounding record, nothing. I do not have an expensive setup but sure love your excitement! I remember 35 years ago, cant remember when. I heard a record really good for the first time. Is fun. By th... | |
Best sounding amp/preamp for Snell Type E/ll model speakers? I owned Luxman for my first 20 years of hi-fi then let it go, I know that sweet sound you mention. My Adcom is in great shape. I can try it with the Apt Holman preamp. I sold my Hafler DH 200 last year (mistake). Thanks for the suggestions. There ... | |
Best sounding amp/preamp for Snell Type E/ll model speakers? Thanks Erik. Sounds like a newer model from Conrad Johnson | |
Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"? Celtic66 your post is great! I agree it is supposed to be fun. I just got a pair of Snell type E speakers for fun. I always wanted to hear them (cant find or afford the model A flagship). I am having a blast! They image, are smooth and sound SO di... | |
Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. Synergy! A match. | |
Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. Schitt Freya preamp into a Pass Labs X-2A5 amp sounds interesting but it is a 5,000 dollar amp. I like the synergy that is mentioned. The most important point is this! Thomas says nothing is more important, I agree and most all of you do as well. | |
Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. Quicksilver audio is sounding pretty good. Not bad. | |
Which would you choose for good sounding tube preamp for an audiophile new to tubes. My budget is 1,500 dollars max. I also watch Thomas. I like his Youtube channel. I really wanted a Sonic Frontiers growing up in audio. I just could never affford one. When I saw the one listed on Hi Fi Heaven for a grand I got excited I guess. ... | |
Fact or misinformation? No. I agree with all the other members that no harm will occur. I also use my mono switch with an old LP. It is sometimes amazing with a stereo cartridge. | |
Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube? I bought the Diamond 225 small bookshelf speakers because of his review. They sounded really good just like he said for the price. I now want to hear what Wharfdale has in a bigger box with that tweeter and midrange. It was so smooth, delicate and... | |
How long do you or should you keep your gear. I still have my ADS L1590 Tower speakers I purchased in the early 90s. Just had them refurbished completely. Amazedly the woofers needed nothing! | |
Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) Lot of great advice that is sound on here today. If it were me I also would get a different integrated. New ones are very good. I had an old 1976 Luxman I got attached to for almost 25 years and it hurt to let it go but it can be done. Not easy. | |
When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? A well known brand for sure. American made is great but not a deal breaker. We make very very good speakers in USA but you all know this. Matching the amp I have to the speakers, synergy is a must. If it is not smooth, efficient, non-distortion at... | |
How to tame a bright system? I have the same problem in my system so I changed the preamp to the old ADVENT 300 until I can afford a Schitt Freya plus tube to smooth the top end. I use Mosfet amps like Adcom and B and K, etc.. so not there. It is hard to sell speakers you... |
