Best turntable for the buck @nferre66 And... I guess... there is very little difference in the sound of cartridges - or - at least you don’t have to spend a fortune to obtain good sound from some of them. Frank Schroeder opened my eyes in one of his interviews on YouTube i... | |
Best turntable for the buck @nferre66 Yeah... I’ve got a Linn Sondek LP12... and... I think I’ll opt for the 1200G too, for the reasons Guttenberg and others have noted. Just want good sound... without the hassles. And... as you likely have seen in my related posts... I wa... | |
Best turntable for the buck @nferre66 ... makes a good point... Do you want good sound with little fuss... or... the frustrations of pursuing "audio nirvana" with a "finicky" TT?!? This guy's had both - and he made his choice. Your choice... | |
Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit As many (most) have noted... how any component "measures" does not determine whether it sounds good to the listener, or not - that is just a FACT! More often than not, a component that sounds superb does not measure well... and one that does... no... | |
Speakers known for great midrange. I must agree with the comments about Harbeth speakers - which have great rich midrange, well controlled bass and superbly clear, smooth highs. I have both the 30.1's and the 40.2's - which sound very much alike, as do the 3PSR's. When driven pro... | |
Anybody watch Steve Huff audio on the Tube? Yes - he has impressed me in the same manner - that there has never been a piece of gear here doesnt like. But, most of the gear he reviews does sound superb! And I did get a Line Magnetic integated amp he recommended, But, I had previously been i... | |
Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!! @baylinor +2 I²S Coax: 1) BNC, 2) RCA Forget USB... and... Toslink | |
Is there a DAC ranking list? YouTube is your friend! Listen to some of the best and make your decision based on what sounds best to you. I have the Schitt Yggdrasil, which is superb... but... I'll prolly end up with the Holo Audio or Denafrips. Though... there are only ve... | |
Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? @ dover Yes... that's prolly what I'll do initially, until I've decided on the cartridge and phono stage... and... whether 1200GR or 1200G. | |
Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs I must agree - my 40.2's have all the bass (and more) than I'll ever want. And... they simply must be driven and controlled by a high power SS amp, with a high damping factor (4000 for the H590). My 30.1's also sound superb with the H590. The... | |
Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? I guess I should also ask... what is the best value priced phono stage? | |
Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? You know I recently saw Frank Shroeder observe that the “two best cartridges in the World” were the Denon 103R and the Audiotechnica AT95 – both inexpensive, practical cartridges. I listened to both on YouTube and in A:B comparisons, they each sou... | |
Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? @yogiboy "My friend uses the Grado Opus 3 with that Technics and it sounds damn nice. And the price is right!" So... what phono stage is he using with it? Hi or Low output cartridge? | |
Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? @chayro "Honestly, if you have the Linn already, I would have it properly set up and just keep it. Once properly set up, Linn should go for many years without issues... new springs, grommets and a new belt are not expensive." ... | |
Compact Portable Adapter to Support 2 Functions on BDP? "Forgidaboudit..." I've done enough research on such a WiFi Adapter - to know now... that there are no USB "Dongle" WiFi adapters that are reliable, certainly with Linux OS on the Bryston BDP's... |
