| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding @mijostyn Curious about your comment on the Hana cartridges. I thought that the Red and the Blue have the same stylus and cantilever. Just wondering what the differences are that you mentioned. I know it is a bit off topic here, but I just ordered... | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding Congrats on your purchase! I am getting ready to pick up my new Nova VII from Christian in a week and am excited as well. Enjoy yours in the new year. | |
| Is my amp good enough? I would definitely ask the store to demo the speakers with something similar, even if it is a NAD integrated at around the level of your separates. If you like what you hear, live with that for a bit and if you get the upgrade bug later on, you ca... | |
| Sunfire Classic Tube Pre-Amp Curious about the sound. So much of the early Carver equipment, well, not great. | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range I have an ifi iPhono3 Black Label and have been very happy with it so far. Very quiet, very dynamic, and has a wonderful soundstage presentation. Not sure of course how well it will work in your system, but is right in the price range. Also, is v... | |
| Goodbye Everyone As someone relatively new to Audiogon, I have gotten an incredible amount of value from reading posts here. Yes, there are some that definitely fall into the gutter, but that is countered by so many that are informative, helpful, and are clearly f... | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! Awesome to see all of these incredible speakers who have made so many happy over the years. And @m3thos so glad to see a mention of the Spicas. Awesome speakers and an unbelievable value in the day. Had a friend with those and a full CJ setup and... | |
| For wi-fi streamers--a discovery to increase wi-fi strength Agree that the more you can take WiFi out the equation, the better. WiFi can be a tricky to setup and troubleshoot in general. I can understand not wanting to run a 45 or 50ft Ethernet if it can be seen and you don’t like the aesthetics of that, b... | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast @navyachts Appreciate your thoughts. There didn’t really seem to be any topic from the original post, so just want to add my experience. Hope it maybe helps some others at some point. | |
| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast I’m not looking to wade too far into the waters of whether Blue Jeans is moving from their core value proposition by now offering the Iconoclast line. To me, it seems a like a reasonable jump for a business to offer a step up in products, followin... | |

| Denafrips Pontus 2 Price increases Change the currency from SGD to USD. When I do that the price is listed as $1,792.97 is US dollars. | |
| what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials? Pass XA25. I've read plenty about how the Heritage Specials need a high wattage amp, but the XA25 in my room does everything I need. Completely musical and transparent. I have a Linear Tube Audio Microzotl pre and the dynamics are also wonderful. | |
| speakers for small room They were limited production, but I have Dynaudio Heritage Specials and they are incredible. Perhaps a used pair. For a stand mounted speaker, the bass is wonderful. Imaging, dynamics, timbral accuracy, are spectacular. And with any really terrif... | |
| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K +1 for the LTA unit if you can add a phono stage later on. Went from an LTA MZ2 as a line preamp to the Microzotl pre because I was so impressed. Imaging, dynamics, soundstage, all awesome for the money and as mentioned, David Berning designs are ... |
