| Music first or sound first? Something to consider… if it weren’t for the music, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. The music came first. | |
| Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong I have an LA4 and AHB2 fantastic combo for the money and expandable if desired. One thing about Benchmark that I like is they don’t use the word salad terms a ton of companies use. They actually test AND listen to their products and others. They c... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? I’ve got grandkids, a dog all that. No worries. Smoke… no go. Period. | |
| Picture Discs Yeah, picture discs can be ok… but not much better. I’ve got multiple colored vinyl. Black chips are becoming harder to get. I like the fun factor and sound quality isn’t an issue if the pressing itself is worth anything. | |
| Music first or sound first? Being a drummer, music for me. Sound is important for sure, it’s all got to hit the buttons. But I enjoy music on my system, in the car, headphones, live, you name it. The thing providing the sound is not the end all be all. Music first. | |
| Has anyone tried to launch a for sale ad here, lately? I’m not sure I would go so far to say hostile, but not particularly seller friendly for sure. As others, I buy here, but don’t sell anymore. The fee structure is a bit “challenging”. | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? I had a Fisher all in one setup as a teenager. TT and all, thought it was the best thing ever. When I was all growed up, my first “real” system was a Polk Audio setup with towers etc. Then Marantz/B&W (I still have as my second setup) and then... | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? It depends… it depends on the “conditioner” it depends on real world needs. I live in Colorado where lightning is very real, even in winter at times… (thunder snow) all of my gear is plugged into some sort of protected system. The big stuff a Shin... | |
| BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 I did, it’s quite good. But I’m a tube fan when it comes to phono stages. The unit as a whole is excellent. I let it go as I needed a new cartridge and wanted the Hana Umami Red and a couple of other things, so selling it to TMR allowed me to cove... | |
| BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 @macg19 small world… you bought mine! | |
| BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 @macg19 curious, where did you get the T+A? | |
| My experience with The Music Room TMR is located in Denver. I’ve had a tour of their facility there. It is truly top notch. Quite impressive. Highly recommend them. | |
| BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 @macg19 The Hegel H590. It’s a great one box solution basically. Wilson Alexia V1. | |
| The Music Room I use TMR all the time both buying and selling. While one could loosely argue you might make a bit more selling on Agon or USAM, when you consider ALL the hassle is taken on by TMR in a sale, it becomes much more with the consignment fees they cha... | |
| BAT VK3500 vs. Hegel H590 Having owned all three, you really can’t go wrong. The BAT gives you tubey goodness. The Hegel gives you a bit more grunt. The HV is a beast, a bit more analytical than the other two but not in a bad way. I don’t think the power of the others will... |
