| Looking for a speaker for my LM 845 Premium There is no reason not to buy a used speaker.if you just go for a speaker that is pretty flat 8 ohms. Focal are nice. What is your budget? | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! Congrats on the choice of a Woodsong Garrard,I have his 301 in the very substantial plinth. I prefer the look and feel of the 301 over the 401.But I understand the performance is comparable.My plinth is the dual arm board one. Excellent design and... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Vinnie knows what music sounds like and is a very nice guy, I was very impressed by his early battery powered small amps. I bet his new integrated is excellent, Think there is an option of tube choice. If you can use a 300B, I would highly recomme... | |
| Rockport Atria II or Magico A5 Magicos are great speakers but Rockport makes a highly musical and real sounding speaker.every model is great. There is really no reason not to buy used for half, | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Some more thoughts on Bakoon:I clearly understand that a headphone system is quite different from speakers.At least with headphones, the Bakoon HPA-01 headphone amp has amazing qualities well beyond my Berning MICROzotl. However, when it comes to ... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? I got my Bakoon HPA-01 the other day. I am super happy with my Atmas but, man, the Bakoon thing is for real! It has musicality and incredible transparency, it has most of the great qualities of SS-detail, bass, dynamics with no harshness or glare.... | |
| Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT? Atma-Sphere used to make a modified Empire TT in a very heavy metal plinth. Ralph said that the best design uses a very heavy plinth. Think he still uses this DD TT. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 I thought the most interesting part of the SAT TT review was comparing it favorably to the OMA slate and cast iron TT.Has anyone heard that one? | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Hey, thanks for being happy for me! Absolutely, through this thread and the advise given, I was successfully able to make the huge leap away from decades of SET-300B and 45. And being able to finally hear what my speakers are capable! It seems mos... | |
| Preamp recommendation +1 Linear Tube Audio MICROZOTL. Seems you only need the 1 input. Tube musicality with SS detail. Get the NOS tube.Remote is also nice. | |
| Is a balanced XLR cable inherently less critical than a single ended RCA one? IME with SE cables, they do make a big difference. It is not a stretch to say that the change in sound is akin to upgrading any component. I think I will invest in about a $1K used XLR cable.Don’t think I would hear any big change with a less expe... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Well, now I have been enjoying my Atma-Sphere M-60s for a few months. They are destination amps. Right away, I deeply knew that I would never go back to SETs! The Atmas have the sweet, natural sound of SET 300bs with the detail of a great SS amp.T... | |
| Is it my amp or my speakers? I would agree that the Krell is bright and harsh.From everything I have heard, the Tektons are probably good.I would suggest looking on AG or USAmart for a used tube integrated. And roll the tubes to NOS. For $3k you can get a very nice one. And s... | |

| Which tubes are the best? IME rolling tubes generally makes for a huge upgrade in the sound.Tube Depot is a decent source for good NOS. But I recently have bought and used several new Psvane (how the hell do you pronounce that!). They have introduced several lines of tubes... |
