I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable
I have a P8 with Ania Pro and a VPI Classic 3 with Ortofon cadenza black cart. I really love both tables for different reasons and keep them both in the system and use both hooked to my Manley Steelhead phono stage. Often times I play one side of ... 
Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile
The tube stage is the thing I agree with the Freya, the reason for being.  I put some CBS Hytron tubes in the input stage side and it really made the preamp a whole lot better.  I wonder how it would compare to an expensive preamp.  I was really t... 
Cassette decks. How good can it get?
Well they must be producing tapes because a lot of new music comes out on Tape only!  That is what got me stated on this whole tape thing to begin with.  I have aquired a number of new tapes that usually include a download with them, mostly from B... 
Power Cord recommendations for a First Watt SIT3
It probably sounds good with the stock cord but wow if you can't hear the change in sound from different power cords you need a new hobby.  I'm always like and I'm out on that guys opinion forever when they say power cords or any cords don't make ... 
Magnepan LRS Support Group?!
I have a pair.  I bought just to see what all the hype is about.  I am totally amazed by these speakers.  They don't do it all for me but wow what they do well is incredible.  I keep a solid state amp in my rack (Pass 30.8) and pull out the LRS si... 
Replacing 80's receiver with Schiit Saga or Freya + ??
Freya + is a no brainer for the money has to be one of the great buys in all of audio.  You get 3 different flavors.  I like the tube circuit best    
Cartridge upgrade????
I jumped from Hana ML to Ortofon Cadenza Black.  Very noticeable improvement in transparency and detail.  I like it much better than the Hana ML.  Almost 3X the money so should be better.      
This maybe analog/cables; I am looking for a phone cable cable recommendation
Look at the Audio Envy phono cable.  I compared to the much more expensive VPI weisline and like it better.    
Audio envy - dang!
I'm going to add that I am very impressed with Audio Envy cables.  They are never bright but also open, I would call them a touch mellow just they way I like it.  I extensively compared the phono cable with the VPI Weisline and I came away thinkin... 
Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile
Hi Brunomarcs.  I was thinking of trying the Rogue RP7 to upgrade the Freya +.  I am really wondering how much improvement it's going to be and maybe not worth the trouble.  I like all the features of the RP7 or 9.  I really like the Freya + in tu... 
Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile
Yes I can attest to the comparison between the LS50 and Wilson speakers.  I had been running some LS50 for a few months moving them around from room to room as I was doing some remodeling.  I thought wow these rooms really sound bad, hopeless for ... 
KEF Blade 2
I'll chime in.  I owned the blade 2 for a couple of years.  I mostly paired them with a DCS Rossini directly to a pair of Theta Prometheus mono blocks.  I was happy with them compared to some Revel Salon 2s I had and some Dynaudio C4s before that.... 
PSA: KEF Blade drivers seem to be easily repairable and upgradable
amazing what a cheap plastic box these speakers are.  I owned a pair and was not impressed with what you get for that kind of money.  Mine even had a rattle inside I could never track down that would be excited by certain frequencies.    
hana ML vs Rega Ania pro on Rega P8
I'm just wondering about the VTA and if you have to use shims.  The one thing I don't like about the Rega is no adjustment to the VTA    
THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI
9K. what a joke. Perfect for rich and nuerotic DCS owners. I can hear bit more shimmer in the cymbals. Sign me up. Thanks for the detailed write up.  Very comprehensive
