| Whats playing on your system today? AC/DC…Back in Black | |
| Best turntable under $4000 I agree the term ‘best’ is vague. And I think you should consider the analog chain - table (including tone arm), cartridge and phono stage. I believe you have an internal phone stage with your Rogue so I’ll focus on turntable and cartridge. Fi... | |
| Dan D'Agostino Black or Silver? Black is the old black! | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... If you are considering the 390 - it's internal phono stage is based on the Moon 810LP (there's many execution differences like dual mono and separate power sources). I'd add the Boulder 508 phone preamp for your consideration. | |
| Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy??? To some degree - In evaluating turntables, I listened to low mass, high mass and suspension tables. | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... @cainullah Is the internal phono stage good - I think so. I used to own McIntosh C2600 with an internal tube phono stage and preferred the 390. I don’t feel the need to upgrade the phono stage at this point - I appreciate the simplicity. | |
| If you had $12k / £10k to upgrade your analogue front-end... @cainullah I currently own Moon 390 and M400s and use a Rega P8 with the Ania cartridge and the internal phono stage for the 390. In my environment I view the digital and analog sources to be very equivalent. Some recordings are better on vinyl ... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Your opinion is the only one that matters. For me and my system- it did make a significant difference. | |
| New to vinyl question For me and my system vibration impacted my turntable when volumes were higher than low volume. Isolation made a huge impact- I have a low mass turntable (Rega). | |
| Help me make sense of this - Midfi system sounding better hifi. @gonglee3 I sometimes wonder how much my listening preferences change - this combined with the sonic signature difference in your speakers reignites my curiosity of difference in sound versus quality of sound. | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy @mckinneymike Good luck in your search. There are a lot of options and I was in a similar situation about 10 years ago. I was very unimpressed with many speakers that had strong reputations - B&W, Mission, Martin Logan and others were close bu... | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy @mckinneymike I tend to listen to music in the high 70s and low 80s db. I think there’s significantly better equipment at lower relative prices in comparison to the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. And there’s more options with equipment with different ch... | |
| I have NOVA V's and I am not happy I have tested Kimber Kable 12 TCs and I experienced harshness in the higher frequencies and muted base. Because my experience with Kimber was positive I tried their BiFocal XLs and there was a significant improvement in the sound quality | |
| Do Simaudio integrated amps run hot? I have two mono blocks….and I stack them. They have not gotten more than warm. NAD and McIntosh ran a lot hotter in my system and room. | |
| Mono block Sonic difference $5k vs $25k I have Moon 400M monoblocks which are approximately $5k each. I think they sound great. I’ve heard monoblocks that are $25k and higher (Martin Logan and PBN audio). Different systems and the difference I’ve noted is the dynamic impact and detail... |
