Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy?
Looking to buy used (figured I would get more for the money). P9 prob out of the budget. Looks like a used Scout, P5, Tecnodec, Horizon SE. Something keeps drawing me to the Tecnodec, maybe find a demo for sale? Has anyone heard this table? Compar... 
Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy?
Tweaky I do not want. The only drawbacks to the VPI Scout is a few folks not happy with the arm quality and unipivot quirks along with some utilitarian looks. However, the build quality does look better than the rega tables (arms excluded). I am s...

Clio,thanks for chiming in, you actually helped set my AR up with Danny a few years ago :) The Scout is getting most of the love so far, what thinks you of that table? Envious of those Jazz Modules you have fyi.

Thanks for the help so far. No way to audition anywhere close. Birmingham, AL. We have Best Buy and Radio Shack. Great city, no brick and mortar audio though. 
EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC
Thanks a lot for taking the time to report the comparison. I have had the minimax plus for two weeks and it is the most chameleon-like component I have ever heard. I think it truly makes a powerful presentation of each and every disc, giving you m... 
Antique Sound Lab MGsi 15 DT
I know this is an old thread, but. . .I just got a newer version of this amp and am blown away. I have two very different setups in two different rooms, and the MG 15 is on a pair of vintage klipsch fortes with and audio gd dac19df. Love the sound... 
Audio GD NFB2
I have one on order and should receive it in a few weeks can update then if still interested in the topic? 
Klipsch forte II what league are they in?
I found a pair in excellent shape locally, oiled walnut, Forte I's. Makes my headspin how many sub 3k speakers these put to shame! Was not a Klipsh disciple before but am now. If the amplification is refined, esp tubes, the sound is ridiculous. Th... 
Gallo 3's vs Silverline Bolero or Sonata III
Thanks so far for the input. Grannyring, that was my theory that the bolero's would prob be more of my cup of tea in most ways. The gallo's are a bit of a chameleon for me. It is obvious that they really reveal each recording for what it is which ... 
paranoid listener, bad recordings
I think you are putting my mind at ease. It does seem apparent that the older joni mitchell and jazz recordings have these fuzzies on the cd. I have also heard that if the midrange or tweeter was blown then it would be pretty easy to tell and not ... 
paranoid listener, bad recordings
Using a YBA YA201 for this setup. Still have the Prologue 2 in the actual listening room on other speakers. This is in the living room and really seems to be coming from particular recordings. CD only coming from a modified Adcom gda 600 dac. I li... 
Eton 8.1's or Apogee Slant 6
Whoops, I meant to respond to original poster, RecordHo. 
Eton 8.1's or Apogee Slant 6
Muralman,I am assuming we are talking about Eton8.1 kit from Madisound? I own a pair that were built by Lee Taylor (the cabinets) and love them. Let me know if these are what you are talking about and I will comment further. 
gallo reference 3.0 positioning?
Nmuntean,I think it is pretty critical to hearing the capability of the tweeter and midrange units. I played a little more with the positioning of the speaker in the room and got closer to "locking" the bass in and this too was very dramatic. It w... 
gallo reference 3.0 positioning?
Well i had a free afternoon with the speakers to move them farther apart and closer to me by a foot or so and the sound did improve so some of this may have to do with them being too close together, but the aiming of the tweeter vertically still s...
