| Budget Front Ported Bookshelf Recommendations Thanks Phase, Just looked into the primus line. THe 153s seem to best suit my spec requirement, the 143s my size requirement. As I have not yet built the fireplace I have some flexibility as to the size of the "cubby holes". Probably don't want to... | |
| Can audiohile be done on the porch I play a system on the porch throughout the summer. Keep in the shade, away from pool. Sounds great with speakers in the open. It is not a permanent setup and is positioned each time. | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. I agree with Rhl though I am not familiar with the Basis . Buy the TT/arm combination that you can afford. Buy an inexpensive Cartridge and used phonostage as these can be improved upon as you expand your vinyl collection. My TT/arm have served me... | |
| Bryston, Sansui or NAD..which amp to recondition? I agree with Kotta. Enjoy the Sansui as is. At most, recap the NAD pre. Usually hard to get replacement transistors for older solid state gear. Better to upgrade to newer used integrated than spending on the Bryston. | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? Congrats. I also have some high Freq loss. Make many speakers that sound overly extended to some sound fine to me. I have liked the Thiels I have heard. I think you will enjoy the Jolida. Many gain/ load options for your Bluepoint. After some expe... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? May I ask which speakers and phono stage did you purchase? | |
| $1,500 upgrade budget/what would you do? Buy a used integrated amp made in the last ~5 years. If you want new, the Marantz 8005 is highly recommended and has phono stage.If working the Haflers are easily sold. | |
| Static electricity....again I use a humidifier in my room in winter. I also find that removing my shoes helps. | |
| Small System Rebuild. Need Integrated Amp +1 Rich.. Hard to go wrong. Also buy a used budget DAC and USB to SPDIF converter. Amps do not age as do DACs. | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? Dancub, Given all that is presented above, it remains my opinion that your weak link is the phono stage. You have a quality $1000 TT and $400 cartridge (provided it is in good condition) mated to a good, however budget, phono stage. I also believe... | |
| Looking for an alternative to Music Hall a70.2 How do you have the Oppo and PS DAC configured in your system for audio and video? | |
| building a system around dynaudios? I agree with Mapman regarding the power benefits. As AL said the X12s have been replaced but there are still some available and should be had at a discount. Quintessence Audio in Chicago had some in December. I heard them there driven by a Simaudi... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? I moved into a dedicated audio room ~ 1 year ago. Made my own sound panels using supplies from ATS Acoustics. I also tune by ear, as I agree, more fun. It is an ongoing process. Seems I have a tendency to over treat then remove treatment until I g... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? +1 Zd & Al. I would get shorter speaker cables also. Would not make any other significant changes until room is finished and tuned to your liking. | |
| Desktop System DAC What are you streaming off your computer, internet radio or stored CD files? |
