| Your Pick Between These Two... Is neither an option?I don't like ports anymore, so no to Joseph Audio and I don't recommend low efficiency of Magico. (I wouldn't buy metal in any case).I recommend selecting high efficiency speakers, to keep power needs minimized, to keep option... | |
| New TT for ~$1500 Any closer to a decision? | |
| Upgrade Suggestions - Entry Level Setup Nice setup for that size room, and I see that your NAD has built in phono eq, so perhaps it's time to begin your move to Vinyl. Start, see if you get hooked, then upgrade as you go.this direct drive is a great start, and it includes a record clean... | |

| Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer I don't collect, I buy (bought) to listen and pass on to my sons, so what's exiting the brain .... nearly all albums ofDylan, Stones, Beatles, Ani DiFranco, Oscar Peterson, Terrance Blanchard, Cassandra Wilson, Van Morrison, Billy Joel, Kate Wolf,... | |

Interesting, however ’ultimate anything’ is probably not relevant for the majority of us. I think it might give the wrong impression of how good R2R tape sounds... | |

| phono stage/preamp project the classic superpack help with set-up please I advise making sure you choose efficient speakers SPL 1meter/1watt 90 db or higher. Also, try to stay nominal 8 ohms.that will keep your amplifier power size (___wpc watts per channel) lower, which puts you in position to go either Solid State or... | |
