| Tell me about saec 308 Long tonearm An excessively heavy arm with insufficient (too small) offset angle. Pass! | |
| Yamaha CDS-1000 or Denon DCD-1600ne Digital is not like Analog where two turntables are being compared. An ad hoc listen to the two players as done by coralkong is not a properly set up test. Both the Denon and Yamaha have very low jitter and harmonic distortion/noise floor. So why ... | |
| New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW ! Buy a nicely restored Dynaco ST70 for less than $1K and save yourself $14K! The ST70 will measure and sound better than the WE91. I have one! | |
| Yamaha CDS-1000 or Denon DCD-1600ne Flip a coin! They will sound identical. Both are excellent build quality! | |
| New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW ! John Atkinson nails it! 1.8 wpc/8ohms@1% THD. 10wpc/8ohms@10% THD. Output impedance averaging 3ohms. For $15K you get a broken amp that will require a new pair of WE 300B tubes ($2400) sometime in the future. A waste of money! | |
| Klipsch Speakers No, use an equalizer to reduce treble. | |
| GaN guitar amps? SS amps plus effects boxes can give plenty of sonic flavor for guitar players! No need for tube amps anymore! My Fender FM212DSP has built-in effects accessible from the front panel - even various vintage tube amp emulators! No need for crowded pe... | |
| Mono block Sonic difference $5k vs $25k A $5K amp vs. a $25K amp? That's the equivalent of a $5K watch vs. a $25K watch - just a greater level of bling! Too bad you can't wear it like a watch on your wrist to impress! | |
| Mono block Sonic difference $5k vs $25k What amps has the OP owned? What does he have in present use? What speakers? | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point BTW I have a Khartago in my amp collection. IMO excellent sound quality! Not a weak link in your system. | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point Keep the Khartago and give serious consideration to a speaker uograde. That is where you will hear the greatest improvement. The Heresy is frankly a dated design. No tears lost when I sold my pair. | |
| Liquid Stylus Cleaners I use Nagaoka 801 liquid stylus cleaner after playing a side. Also use Stylast before playing a side. No problems noted! | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl What does the OP expect from a cheap TT, cartridge, phono stage? No, thousands are not required for great LP sound, just judicious purchase choices on the used equipment marketplace. Either analog or digital can be an immersive and satisfying expe... | |
| Old school shootout: Snell A/III vs. Original B&W 801 Audiocom also had the B&W 801 first series. As fine as that speaker was the Type A’s were even better - more holographic and dynamic. They could make the back wall vanish! This was a time when we only had LP’s for demonstration. The Philips Co... | |
| Old school shootout: Snell A/III vs. Original B&W 801 @erik_squires +1! I agree! Snell Type A’s one of the all-time-great dynamic speakers. I first heard them at Audiocom in CT in 1977. They were driven by the GAS Ampzilla. Price was $1390/pr. Talk about value for your dollar! Several years ago I was... |
