| Vintage vs New Quad 57s, Garrard 301,401, Technics SP 10 MK II and III, Levinson ML2 and Cello Palette-there is a Palette currently on Ebay for $25,000!It is said that the ESS 57s do bass and treble but they still lack the impact of cones. Quad 57s still used to... | |
| Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why. Why is timbre pronounced tamber?The fact that timbre comes from French influences its pronunciation: it is often pronounced \TAM-ber\ and, with a more French-influenced second syllable, \TAM-bruh\. ... In French, timbre became used for bells that ... | |
| Best preamp with built in phono stage? Hi Mike,I am humbled by your system. And by looking into your years of efforts I am more appreciative of what I have put together.Probably 1/10th or less than your investment, I have reached the point of also being swept away.Two components that m... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? A brand new result of the unique performance of the AGDs is that every record in my collection is now highly listenable, to say the least. Regardless of recording quality, the AGDs bring out the essential beauty. Quite a bargain for a whole new LP... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? @earlflynn My current Class D amp is the AGD Audion.There are about a half dozen+ Forum members all saying the same thing… they are uniquely superb. | |
| Listening to digital and analog I used to have the entry level RP1 Rega TT. Sure, it had its limitations, but it still had those organic qualities that grab the soul. | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. Matching amp with speaker is, perhaps, the most difficult and central issue in Audio.It is clear that the 26 watts from the LM is not enough power for the Harbeths. However, I imagine you love that amp.+1 on Quad 57s. That amp is a beautiful match... | |
| Listening to digital and analog A few years ago, I spent 3 days in rapt attention listening to a mid 6 figure computer sourced (using Master Class soft wear) helping with a room at THE Show in Las Vegas (Daniel Hertz).It was about the most amazing SQ I have ever experienced.Howe... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? The SQ of my current Class D amp is the most emotional I have experienced without any other even coming close.Maybe it’s the lack of distortion, having the right harmonic distortion, the transparency, the smoothness, the sweetness or the sheer mus... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @noromance I upgraded from a MP-3 to an MP-1.Major difference.If you can afford it, go for a MP-1. | |
| Best preamp with built in phono stage? Hi Mike,The Atma was $28k believe the darTZeel is $50k+.And the Atma has multiple balanced in and out. The darTZeel only has one balanced in and out.Do you use the BNCs?Seems the darT was also designed greatly to play vinyl as is the Atma. Both by... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I got my AGD class Ds just in time for 116 degrees here in Portland!FWIW, these Class Ds are different from others. | |
| OK - Now What…? Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables. Beat very pricy ones at a bargain price. 2 week trial period. A no brainer. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? I have an Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamp with built in phono stage.I thought that maybe VAC was the competition but think I see that, like everyone, when you get into the upper end $25K++ units, they all are just line stages with no built in phono stage.... | |
| Woodsong Garrard 301, Artisan Fidelity 301, Shindo 301, SME 301, or etc.? Heavy stuff on a 301 are a main issue.Starting with a heavy platter. I will stay with Woodsong’s version of an appropriate platter. Not the original but not very heavy either. Think it is about 6 lbs. Think the slate and iron plinths are questiona... |
