| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I drive a Nimbus 2007. | |
| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? It was 1979 and I was still in high school. My best friend's dad had a pair of Snell Type A's that were off limits to us. When he was out of town, we snuck in and played Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. Those were profound audiophile ... | |
| Phono stage for Benz Wood H2 The Wright WPP200c has variable gain control (up to 60 db) without using a step-up. It works equally well with MM as it does with LOMC. The gain control allows you to use it as a stand-alone preamp connecting directly to your amp. It's modest pric... | |
| Upgrade 20 years old crossovers Dcaudio, what did you decide to do? Did you upgrade anything? | |
| What are the best quality speakers for under $500? Dahlquist DQ-20 and DQ-10. | |
| Upgrade 20 years old crossovers You can spend a small fortune on capacitors and not achieve much. If you're looking for a dramatic change in sound, you should look elsewhere. If you're looking for a fun project to learn something new, then I highly recommend digging in. Remember... | |
| new to tubes I'm late to this thread, but wanted to ask what brand of KT88 people like the most. I'm sure each brand has a different sound. | |
| I've reached the beginning of the end - I hope The constant need to upgrade doesn't seem rooted in sound quality. If you've been in this hobby for a couple of years, I bet your system is already very good. For many of us, upgrading seems like an addiction driven by perfectionism. Aren't we all... | |
| wright sound company, step up wmt100 Jim, can you point me to the specific step-up you use with your DL-103? A link would be great. What's the boost ratio? I'm not familiar with Cinemag. I'm comfortable with DIY projects, but the more I read, the less I want to guess about which SUT ... | |
| wright sound company, step up wmt100 Jim, I just picked up a WPP100 and I'm using it without a step-up. Even before the needle hits the vinyl, I hear more hiss than what I think is normal. It sounds like low level radio static -- as though I have a tuner keyed into an empty station. ... | |
| Phono stage with gain control? Tvad, how does the WPP200C compare to the Lehmann Black Cube? If I remember correctly from other forums, you have one. Ed, do you own the WPP100C? If so, what's your impression? I just picked one up and am waiting for it to arrive. -Mark | |
| wright sound company, step up wmt100 Jazzbeq, I'm curious if you bought the Wright WMT100? What are you using for a phono pre? I'm keenly interested in the Wright Sound WPP200C and will need a step up for my DL-103R. Any info would be appreciated! -Mark | |

| Upgrade advice needed Tim, I've heard the Arro and Sttaf. They both cast realistic sound images and manage to do something most affordable speakers can't - they disappear. Whatever Totem is doing, they're doing it right. If I were looking for speakers in the $700 range... | |
| Monitors vs. Floorstanders - What an eye opener If you haven't heard the Totem Mani-2, you owe it to yourself to hear them. These little guys not only disappear, but have a powerful low end. With dual 6.5 inch woofers configured in a push/pull Isobaric fashion, extension gets down to 30 Hz. The... |
