| How do you train your ears? I agree with listening as much live music with real instruments would help. I had purchased several CDs after attending to live jazz concerts, but always it was disappointment to listen to their music on my audio system. There is just no compariso... | |
| AT150mlx price went up Those who bought it a month ago would now realize that they had saved $550 and feel even happier. ;)One more fallen sub $300 cartridge -- Schure V15 Type III (with either VN35MR or VN35HE), which is marginally better than Grado Gold and Clearaudio... | |
| AT150mlx price went up OK. I got a much better deal now, saving $450 (800-350) compared to $250 (500-250) if I had bought it a couple weeks ago. ;-)Initial response: it is a clear winner over my sub $300 clartridges: Clearaudio Aurum Classic Wood, Grado Gold, ADC XLM MK... | |
| I seek your guidance - re turntable Hmm, no Clearaudio fan here?If you want a new table, Clearaudio Emotion would be worthwhile to consider. It can be had at around $1000 without cartridge. | |
| AT150mlx price went up Discount of $250 vs $450?You have a strange sense of humor.Setting $800 MSRP is nothing but a marketing gimmick, IMO, but it may work, who knows.I would agree the popularity is a major factor. It may no longer be a most underrated MM cartridge. | |
| A DAC to beat NAD C541i? Thanks again.I am leaning to Mhdt paradisio 3 (or used paradisio +) for budget wise and its USB support. Whatever I end up, I will get back and report how I feel. It will be compared with Marantz DR700 and NAD C541i. | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? Each upgrade of my gears made me happy since I could hear more and better sound, and the music sound more musical. I don't know when the series of upgrades would stop. It may never stop until I die or get broke.It is hard to quantify how much some... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? "Audiophiles like modern speakers...Music Lovers like vintage speakers!"I think, audiophiles are sound lovers. They constantly like to try new gears for better sound (which may not necessarily end up being better, but just different)Music lovers f... | |
| A DAC to beat NAD C541i? Thanks for all suggestion.Looks like I have a plenty of choices.How would Adcom GDA-700 par against those suggested models? | |
| Cheap phono cable vs decent interconnect cable? I have a few RCA interconnect cables at ~ $300, but no phono cables. I thought any decent RCA cables ($100~300) would be good for phono cables. But, when I recently tried a few different RCA cables of my own, my bluemotion sound different, especia... | |
| Thorens TD145 I have a TD145 MKii with Grado gold. It works pretty good. But if I were you I would just replace the stylus. Type III would outperform Grado gold. | |
| Dual 1219 noise Thanks for your response.I got the table several months ago. It was fine when I got it, but just about a month ago it started noisy. The noise definitely comes from the wheel. I tried to remove the platter, but I couldn't. Looks like it needs a sp... | |
| Phono cables Any suggestion on phono cables from Anti-cable? | |
| Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre plinius 9200. | |
| Best Speakers under USD 2,000 Second Hand Price I would consider Tyler Linbrook super tower ($2000) for sale in agon. With $700 more I would go for Linbrook sig system.For smaller rooms, Linbrook sig monitor would be hard to beat. |
