| New turntable VPI is always a good choice IMO. Then I also have to throw Origin Live in as well. Their arms play well beyond their price range. I suspect the TT's do also. They used to be awkward to set up but I believe they have changed that now. VPI Prime 21 ... | |
| Help with Cartridge choice @musicmatters1206 I'm not familiar with the Sparta. But I am familiar with the Origin live, especially the Illustrious arm. I put the Illustrious arm on my Teres as a "temporary" arm. That was 12-14 yrs ago. I just upgraded to a TriPlanar Vll.. ... | |
| Please check out Radio Paradise FLAC Streaming Options Pardon me while I mark this thread so I can find it again. Thanks for the link @hgeifman. Don't do a lot of streaming yet but who knows what the future holds. | |
| A $349 record brush Nah. Ya need this. Better Value, & works faster. Guaranteed to remove the finest of dust particles. Truly Audiophile Approved. A less expensive model is available but due to the lack of filtration, it is not Audiophile Approved Record Dust... | |

| Help with Cartridge choice You should be fine with your choice of the Hana. This especially since you have done your research I assume this includes end user reviews The Phono stage has 67db gain which is good for the cart output. Sure there are other good choices available... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Sensitivity 92dB (2.83V @1m) 120wpc is plenty of power. I'd look at the volume/gain controls on all the equipment & software | |
| Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!! I've found that if you look for and expect bad from others, you will find it. We all have it. But conversely, if you look for and expect good from others, you will likely find that too. Sure, there are exceptions.. But generally this is true. Whe... | |
| Merry Christmas to Me.....New tonearm on the way @nrenter Iirc OL was one of the recommended arm for the Teres. Congratulations on the Enterprise. I kick myself for allowing one to slip by me last year. But finding info for that arm is also near impossible. Fwiw I now realize just how good ... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. In the 70's & 80's I was highly involved with recording my albums on cassette. I did this mostly for my cars & trucks because I loved to listen while driving. I used good Teac 3 head machines and my tapes always sounded much better than an... | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers Rel is my choice. I've had them for 20 years and they have served me well. My room is also big. The new one I have put out 550 watts. I can't go past one third the volume. Remember the Rel is mean to augment the bass. So the sub should blend in wi... | |
| Unico Primos Integrated savings opportunity I hope the OP has listened to the entire review and heeded his caveats about brightness at high volumes. The first red flag for me was that it has tilted up treble which often leads to the brightness he spoke of with high volume. Not at all my cup... | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? You are on the wrong track if you are listening to those telling you to upgrade the cartridge. Putting a $300 cart on a $300 TT running through a $200 phono pre is wrong headed. But it’s your $$$. Education costs $$$. $300 won’t buy much education... | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? It would seem that the objectivists 1st priority is to make sure the measurements are correct. Thus the measurements inform them that the system sounds good, NOT the system's sound itself. | |
| Will I Hear A Difference? I'd say yes, you will hear a difference. You are not on just beginning "your analog journey". You are also at the beginning of the line with the table & phono preamp. Just looking at price alone shows the EAT @ 3 times the price of the most ex... |
