| REVERB HAS THE WORST RETURN SERVICE EVER Thank you Will for the heads up! | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? Another plus for the PLX1000 is the included pair of high quality RCA interconnects! Way to go Pioneer! | |
| how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable? I bought a new Pioneer PLX1000 to add to my collection of vintage TT’s. For $699 it is competitive with the several times- as-expensive Technics TT’s. I put a Denon 103R ($340) on it. Check out Herb Reichert’s review from several years back in Ste... | |
| Cables recommendation Monoprice! If you believe that wire has an effect upon sound quality then you live in some alternate universe. | |
| A suitable cart and possible practical tweaks for a Rega Planar 3... The low-output Hana MC's sound better than the high-output versions. The Shibata SL is an easy recommendation. | |
| ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements. All speakers are imperfect and deserve to be measured. Subjective listening alone is not enough! In fact, measuring identifies the problem areas and then DSP can be used to correct frequency response flaws, resulting in much improved sound. | |
| ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements. The LRS measures badly - and sounds bad! Contrary to what the Magnepan fanboys claim. Can't afford to speak the truth and offend an advertiser! Check out the test and listening results on ASR. | |
| Phono Stage Amp Altec Valencia's + the Cary 805's would crush the Totem Winds! | |
| Same power supply from piano and amplifier Stick with using a separate power supply to each device. | |
| Phono Stage Amp Except for @ditusa the other posters have all provided the WRONG solution by focusing on the phono stage/cartridge instead of the amp/power requirements to drive a pair of Totem Winds! Can't be done with a 15 watt tube amp - the Cary 805's. | |
| Phono Stage Amp The Cary 805's only have about 15 watts at 1% distortion before the distortion goes way up quickly - 2%, 4%, 8%, 16% ... This distortion profile is typical of single-end amps - tube and SS. No wonder the 805's sound way better when they are only p... | |
| Phono Stage Amp Even at lower SPL's a good SS amp will sound cleaner than a tube amp. I am speaking from 40+ years experience. Plus I own a collection of tube amps and preamps - but prefer SS. | |
| Phono Stage Amp @ditusa : +1! At least I am not alone with speaking the truth! Tube amps are NOT low distortion devices - particularly when used to drive difficult speaker loads. Electric guitarists like them for their distortion! | |
| Phono Stage Amp It's your tube amps running out of power (clipping) and distorting! No wonder they sound better at lower SPL's! Nothing wrong with your phono stage. Get a powerful SS amp if you want to listen at louder SPL's! Bryston, Parasound, Krell ... | |
