| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? Tonearm for now. Maybe up the Origin Live line. But then I listen to mine and I ask, why? Maybe tubes. I need some backups. Then there's the Chinese ultrasonic record cleaner. You'd think we've had enough cheap stuff from China. before that it wa... | |
| Solid State pre amp / tube amp I did this for 10-12 yrs with a CJ PFR & Latino ST-70. Sounded great. One misnomer about tubes is that it does not do bass well. Hogwash. I've played rock in local bands for years and the bass sounds more real than with SS amp. Bass has over... | |
| Can the Same Brand Power Tubes Have a Different Sound When Bought From Different Vendors? @oldhvymec To the POINT..Oh heck yes.. 5% or less vs 10% if your lucky. Cary HATES non matched signal valves. Just ruins the sound. BUT matched.. night and day.. Like heaven.. All the difference in the world.I've read that the hand picked and ma... | |
| Poor quality control crooked driver Don't sweat the small stuff. The days of that standard of quality control has been gone for years. The stuff is made in China on an assembly line and sells for less than $300 apiece. As long as it doesn't effect playback then it doesn't really mat... | |

| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts I might disagree about longer being better. Theoretically, yes it should. But others in the know like Michael Fremer have said the differences are not that great & that a well setup 9"arm will perform as good as a well setup 12" arm There wil... | |
| Underwood Hifi / Underwood Wally... I’ve been here 20 yrs and I don’t remember when he wasn’t here selling. He has a great reputation. I bought a Core Power 1800 from him so far. No need to hesitate. I won’t | |

| Miles Dewey Davis Marcus Miller @ 12:25 is so true. Music explains itself (my words) too few musicians understand this. or maybe I just encountered the wrong ones too often. | |
| Soundfile Thread Oh my. Would you buy a $1-2-3-4k cartridge based on a sound file you heard through your computer speakers or smartphone? Of course not. IMO soundfiles are a waste of time because you aren't hearing the component. You are hearing your computer's sp... | |
| Miles Dewey Davis Nice story. | |
| behringer DEQ2496 You might have better luck on a pro audio site where they are more familiar with the products. Being a musician I have some understanding but not really familiar with the equipment. IOW, I’ve never owned it. However many pro pieces are specialized... | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with tubes4hifi amplifier KITs page I don't know how your speakers respond to tubes but these are powerful enough to push them.
