| Most suitable and effective isolation platform First off congrats on owning a great deck! I would avoid any platform that robs you of dynamics, speed and presence, sometimes less is more. HRS and Symposium make great straight forward products without completely "breaking the bank". | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Steely Dan/Elvis Costello-DTE-7/27. Elvis Costello and the Imposters were in top and cohesive form. At nearly 61 Elvis can still hit some high notes and deliver that "power pop" energy, great 1 hour show! Steely Dan IMO is on it's last leg(peg-lol... | |
| a first integrated amp to build a system around Speakers are the key at this level. I would consider the Magnepan MMG(new or used) or the Silverline Prelude(used). Look(might take some time) for a used NAD S300 or a Classe 151. Both these amps are of high(build/sound) quality even if there 10+ ... | |
| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon Sounds like an Emotiva sales pitch! The truth is the only missing link. | |
| Is ARC Updating/Discontinuing the DSi200? I heard an early version of the ARC DSi200 driving a Magnepan 1.7 with an Ayre cdp as the source using all Kimber Kables, no power filtering or conditioning was present. To say I was disappointed is a huge understatement! Might have been the worst... | |
| Advice on buying a used speaker up to 3k Freemand-Look for a used pair of Focal 826w/836w the size of your room will determine which is best. | |
| Best Integrated, period. With the correct system synergy a Rowland integrated is tough to beat if your goal is the best price/performance ratio. | |
| How do you respond to this question? The flaws of vinyl are less offensive then the silver (mini) frisbee!!! | |
| "Famous Blue Raincoat".. Frogman great post(6-14)! Analog vs. digital is NOT as simple as good vs. evil. I really enjoy many early digital recordings made on the 32-track 3M system. The Nightfly and Swing of Delight(Carlos Santana) are perfect examples. Are these perfect ... | |
| A Pro-Ject RM-10.1 or a VPI Prime I wish you would consider the Rega RP8. | |
| Best Integrated, period. Kclone-The Mac-7000 had mixed reviews, how much better can the MA 8000 be? FWIW I never heard a Mac integrated I wanted. Trilogy Audio Systems(UK based/made)has released the 925(hybrid). Appears to have unlimited/unknown potential and at around $1... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Macdadtexas-Great choices!!! Were the STP/Soundgarden original pressings? How would you rate the sound quality of these 2 "grunge" vinyl recordings? | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It Dealing with the ticks/pops/surface noise/echos IMO is age dependent. Many audiophiles under 45 grew up with cassettes and then went on to cd's never becoming accustomed with vinyls shortcomings. | |
| First in line... Infection-It all depends on system synergy which phono cartridge is best. The Transfiguration Axia S has IMO the highest ceiling of all the cartridges mentioned. | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It It depends on how much time, effort, passion and money your willing to put into vinyl? I was "vinyl absent" for over 15 years, during that time I came close(several times) to buying a near entry level table but knew it was a waste of time and mone... |
