| DIY subwoofer high pass filter after preamp I think you are getting advice from a limited set of people. There have been plenty of Audiophiles who have reported benefits of doing exactly what you are proposing. If you have two outputs from your preamp… Send one directly to the sub and send ... | |
| Standalone DAC upgrade from onboard integrated Check out the Gustard R26 v2. Check reviews. | |
| Asking for members blessings on Nagaoka MP 300 purchase @lewm how do you ensure that the top of the head shell is parallel to the LP surface? Do you put a bubble level on the head shell? Does the extra mass from a bubble level affect the VTA? I have always tried to get the tone arm itself, parallel to ... | |
| Asia is kicking Ass and Taking Names Good choices! | |
| Changing out Spades Just wear a damn mask and do it outside. You won’t mess up. Good luck! | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges @lewm you are correct… I don’t have direct experience with this, I just read the reviews and a friend of mine has the 700 and thinks quite highly of it. but I did just buy one in Tokyo, a week ago! | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges Resurrecting this old thread… Now we have the Nagaoka MP 700 moving iron cartridge, which gets excellent reviews and is most certainly better than the MP 500 | |
| Preamp advice I very much enjoy my VAC Signature IIse, which is balanced. Audio Research is a worthy contender. What is your price range? | |
| What are your Eureka Moments in this Hobby? @hilde45 No problem with explaining my perspective. You state that when you listen - both musically and critically (to the equipment) - they are both ultimately related to getting the most out of the music. There is no separation, just a shift i... | |
| What are your Eureka Moments in this Hobby? @hilde45 I think it is true that you did not explain your insight clearly. In your original post, you discussed a false dichotomy between the music and the sound elements. Your post expressed that false dichotomy as a general truth, but in fact, i... | |
| What are your Eureka Moments in this Hobby? @mrmb Youve had a great litany of equipment! In my early days, I recall how impressed I was with how the Aragon handled my Quad 989’s! What a great baseline to start with. I still think it’s a great budget amplifier! | |
| What are your Eureka Moments in this Hobby? @hilde45 I agree with all that you are saying, although I think that you conspicuously omit the other side of the coin in order to make your point. In fact, there ARE audiophiles who predominantly connect to technical performance and really don’t... | |
| Speakers for Small Room OP. You’ve got great taste in equipment! I really like my Falcon gold badge LS3/5’s in a similar size room (sealed box). Best 3/5 I auditioned! But I don’t think they reach the level of your other speakers. A little mid bass bump. Good luck an... | |
| 4K headphone + headphone amp/dac system recommendations please @abenavraham to me, headphone amplifier on the benchmark is somewhat of an afterthought. It is not a great amplifier. I have had better success with two amplification with the HD800s using both 2A3 and 800b amps. everyone here is so confident ... | |
| 4K headphone + headphone amp/dac system recommendations please @mulveling don’t agree. I’ve had the 600s and the 800’s, and the 600’s sounded slow, thick and constrained whereas the 800s sounded open and delicate (although a bit bass shy). To each their own though! |
