| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! Another vote for Elac. They are designed by Andrew Jones, the same person that designs TAD. They perform well above their weight class. I have a set of his monitors connected to a NAD 390DD in my office. Great sounding setup! | |
| low-level background white noise - Parasound Halo JC-3+ I also have a JC3+ and am running it with a Voxativ integrated and mine is also dead silent. If your ground is good then you must have an issue with the unit itself????Good luck! | |
| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket I would recommend looking at the new Elac Adante speakers designed by audio legend Andrew Jones of TAD fame among others. They are doing some amazing things, especially considering the budget. I heard the lower end speakers at RMAF 2016 and couldn... | |
| Recommend your best sounding LP's Thank you all for the continued excellent advice on music. I just ordered up another 6 or so albums last night. While I have 1000+ CDs I haven’t listened to 5 of them since I stood my system up a few months ago. My OPPO 105D just sits there waitin... | |
| Recommend your best sounding LP's Wow, excellent recommendations. What are the best sources to obtain these possibly rare pressings? I read about green label and other descriptive factors I am not familiar with myself. | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? Table is arriving Wednesday sans cart though @rauliruegas is helping with that piece. I picked up another load of vinyl from my dad’s collection yesterday. Can’t wait to hear it on new table. Having great fun listening to some truly classic music ... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s Constellation Inspiration Series. All the power you need with a beautiful signature sound. Email me for an in-depth discussion at [email protected] | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? After much consideration I purchased a used Artisan Fidelity Lenco. Lewn,i already have everything except a cart and possibly a better phono stage. Rauliruegas has offered to help me choose an appropriate cart. I expect to receive the table late ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? I am looking at a used AF Lenco with an Origin Illustrious arm. I really enjoyed the sound of the Soundsmith cart at RMAF this year but I am very open to suggestions. Please and thank you. | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? Almost forgot to mention that we connected my "meager" Parasound JC3+ and it was not a significant downgrade over the Herron. The Herron had a better soundstage whereas the JC3+ felt a little more constrained, however, it was not horrible. Likel... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @rauliruegas I chose the Voxativ loudspeakers and integrated amp because it was the best combination I heard at the show within my budget, actually triple my budget but how can you put a price on love.They sounded the most natural compared to the ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @hometheaterreview I appreciate your comments about vinyl being dead and the convenience and quality of streaming. I have a very nice PS Audio DAC with a Bridge II and I stream Tidal regularly. I also have a respectable OPPO 105D player. I don’t d... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @desktopguy My father owned and operated a small audio visual production company my entire life. I was fortunate in that I would receive his hand me downs from time to time including a reel to reel in my bedroom when I was around ten years old He ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @inna I did offer to pay for the in-home trial. They said there is too much risk is loaning out expensive turntables. Amps and other gear is a different story. "Too much can go wrong with a turntable on loan". Apex is less than 15 minutes from my ... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? My current TT is a Pro-ject Xpression Carbon. It sounds okay but ever since I replaced my front-end with more revealing amp and speakers (Voxativ) it definitely shows its weaknesses. I have heard how good something can sound with these speakers at... |
