| Best turntable for the buck VPI is a consideration. Try & demo it in your system. | |
| Best turntable for the buck +1 for George Merrill's Super Poly Table with a MC Cartridge & Ron Sutherland's Phono Loco and you won't look back. As mentioned, the Well Tempered & Sota Star Sapphire are great tables. Setup is always key. Best of luck. | |
| The vanishing stereo rack This is definitely a niche concept and not the "norm" or usual arrangement. Wide range adoption of the "vanishing stereo rack" will be unusual and or futuristic. | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? I am not a Magico owner, but I can honestly say that my loudspeakers (W-B) required at least 400 hours (almost 4x's longer than the owner's manual suggests before making any subjective judgements) of "break-in". Fortunately, my preamplifier has a... | |
| Homage to those who are pleased with your audio rig Good for you, 2psyop My current system began taking shape 4 years ago and recently became complete and the sound is fabulous. I am now re-listening to just about everything in my collection. The journey has been fulfilled! VPI HW19 table with a... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? Good intentions and bad information about having 2 20amp 120v dedicated circuits & outlets will create a massive ground loop and hum. A 15amp 120v outlet will generally suffice for 2 channel home audio. If you must add a dedicated 20 amp 12... | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Preamp aesthetics may or may not have any bearing on it's sound quality. I've stated this before and will repeat it here again.."good preamplifiers are few & far between". Many are flawed in different areas and it is difficult to execute ev... | |
| Balanced versus single ended Unfortunately this question can not be answered in absolute terms in a general manner. It is always component to component dependent. Example: all of my components are single ended: preamp, mono blocks & sources. My preamp is capable of driv... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines Totally unnecessary to run 10 GA Romex to your hi-fi room. The absolute most that you need (unless you have something most unusual) is 1 (one) 20 amp circuit. That requires 12ga with ground from your panel & a 20 amp breaker. Use a hospital... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects "jpmanomet" is right on target with Mogami. For interconnect cable I recommend the W2549 matched with the Neutrik NF2CB RCA's. The Mogami W2549 is a microphone cable with 2 jacketed conductors made of ofc. The soldering required for the neutrik... | |
| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... "saulh" You have garnered some wide-ranging advice and suggestions. I would offer some input from George Merrill that you can read from some of his "papers" on his web site & links listed below. He is an analog devote & engineer. If yo... | |
| Vandersteen Speakers.. Are All Other Speaker Makers Doing It Wrong ? +1 for Wilson Benesch & "tcutter" summed it up perfectly. W-B is not the only awesome speaker line on the planet but worth exploring. So, no Vandersteen is not the only speaker company to do it right. Cheers | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? A simple environmental factor-darkness or a lack of light plays a significant roll to sharpen our hearing. This simple factor allows our brain to decrease visual processing and devote more focused cerebral attention to our hearing. One would bel... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 I just sent a carton by FedEx Ground with insurance on November 8th. No issue. | |
| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? The question for consideration has an undefined variable.... space. I have moved locations and away from a large dedicated listening room to a home with a much smaller listening room...being just over 12'L x 11+'W with a trayed ceiling nearly 11'... |
