| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank I go with a couple of users who mention Morrow. The most obvious difference from any other cable in that range that I can attest to is an amazing sound stage with excellent inner detail. I also need to stay away from extra "brightness" as my syste... | |
| Qobuz Users Update? I joined Qobuz at the highest level, $299/yr., basically because I got into digital hi-res files only recently and wanted to quickly build a decent library, and when you are the highest level, you get substantial discounts on hi-res (over 44.1/16)... | |
| South Florida - join in and make a REAL effort! Hey all, I've been looking around for something like this. Been into audio all my life (practically) and now have some extra time and funds to enjoy the hobby with some more "respectable" gear. Passions are 2 channel vinyl, but have recently got... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Agreed @alanr123 regarding Focal. I recently picked up a pair of the Kanta 3's (reference in the Kanta line) and they retail at $12K, but I got them for $9600. They are amazing with tube gear (Primaluna preamp and HP amp.) They are dynamic, one ... | |

| Best Inexpensive Preamp for DENON 103? This is my older post, but I thought I would update cause a couple things have gone down. First, I purchased a used older edition Lehmann Black Cube on this forum for $240. Stock power supply. Huge improvement, as it should be, over the Cambridge... | |
| Arm for Thorens TD-145 /160 ? Hi Mingles, Saw it, I've heard SO much about both those arms with this TT I'm totally confused; I think it's about 51% to 49% that the Rega250 is not a great match for the Thorens suspension, and the word on the SME seems to come down to which ver... | |
| Arm for Thorens TD-145 /160 ? -should have said obviously low COMPLIANCE- High mass... | |
| Arm for Thorens TD-145 /160 ? Thanks everyone. Some good answers that stayed on point/ topic! I posted the same question on Audiokarma and simply got arguments as to why I shouldn't change the TD-16, cause it is such a great arm (I think it is a decent arm, by the way- I just ... | |
| Rega RB-250 a major upgrade? Syntax- I imagine you mean the rewire kit for the stock arm? If so, perhaps I can recommend the specialty shop I sent it to use that (or similar) for the rewire- But I think for now, I'm gonna stick with the stock arm and quality rewire. I like t... |
