| Looking for a good small subwoofer... Love my REL t9x. IMO can't go wrong with REL. But, recently listened to a Kef kc62 and was very impressed. Goes down low with no muddiness and is tiny! Thinking of one for my living room. Not cheap though. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @soix I have a 90's .5 that I picked up a few years ago. One of 3 amps in my rotation. Thankfully, still working great as of a few months ago until I switched it out for my Hegel. Probably put it back in the system soon to give it a run - fing... | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono @grislybutter Best of luck! Vinyl takes some work with many variables to consider. But, I've heard it sound fantastic even on my modest system. | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono @grislybutter I am a relative newb to vinyl and still learning about load, gain, different carts, etc. But I don't think there is much more you can do except put the gain on the lowest setting and play around with the loading. I bought the PH ... | |
| Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono @grislybutter I just picked up the same Phonomena ll+ used from a local guy. Definitely check the settings and make sure the gain is at it's lowest setting - all dip switches down I believe. I have a Rega p6 with Exact 2 cart with similar high o... | |
| The problem with absorption panels- it kills the fine details Geez, never expected to see the word 'horrifying' so much in an audiophile thread. Now I'm a little horrified to listen to my system! | |
| Recommendations for good sounding streamer My first foray into a separate streamer was the new Bluesound n130. Definitely a step up from my Macbook air. Super easy setup and works great with my iphone. Then, recently purchased a used Ares 2 dac. I was surprised at the huge step up it wa... | |
| What now? Seems like you understand it's not an ideal situation - that's good. You mentioned Vienna Acoustics Bach. I love my Bach Grands, listening to them right now. Warm ish presentation with silky smooth tweeter and great mids. Beautiful rosewood fi... | |
| Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... Catch that often elusive something by the toe. Right now it's Hegel h360 int. with LRS or VA Bach Grands. Nice combo but will be switching out soon for my Rogue Atlas magnum tube amp and Perseus tube pre. Or maybe my DNA .5 and the Perseus? Or... | |
| Magnepan LRS in the house! @hartf36 Thanks for that | |
| Technics SL-1800 mk2 @boothroyd Thanks for that. Seems like pretty much the same specs as the 1200 but obviously not the same machine. The 1800mk2 is $500 on CL. Original MSRP of $300. LOL | |
| Magnepan LRS in the house! Yes, nice job @rbertalotto. I am not a metalworker but do enjoy woodworking in my small basement shop. So, I'm going to use some sturdy oak for my stands. I don't think the angles in your design will work with wood though. We'll see | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? @northman Very funny! Geez I would be delighted if anybody even knew about my hobby. Let alone ask any questions about it! 🤣 | |
| Magnepan LRS in the house! Great story, and great speakers! Really one of the best values out there IMO. I was lucky enough to find a near mint set locally a couple of years ago. Running them with a Hegel h360 and and Rel T9x sub. Sounds great to my ears. Looking forwa... | |
| Static attack! Time to get the humidifiers going @dekay Yes, it does take some practice. But, by George, I think I've got it! So what is your preference, the wool or rubber? My Rega has felt (is that wool?) but I've been considering trying cork or something else. I think the felt holds a lot... |
