So close to completing the new setup, just a couple of questions for my experts here.
Pro-ject Debut Carbon - current TT
Ortofon Red (considering the Grado Gold v2)
Tannoy Revolution XT 8F speakers
Primaluna EVO 200 integrated amp
Bluesound Node 2i
Questions:
1. Do I keep my Denon receiver...
Anyone here running a Peachtree Nova300? The one unit for everything approach is so damn appealing to me. My primary focus with buying a new amp is Music first, listening to 80% vinyl, 20% streaming/digital, then running TV and movies through the same system. Thoughts on Peachtree vs...
I got this box for Christmas two years ago, the hype sticker said, “If I was on a desert island, and I could only take 3 albums. I’d bring Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs, disc 1, 2 & 3” - Molly Ringwald.....I tend to agree.🖤
Condition looked very good, no scratches or visible damage. They said full original warranty applied. Honestly my only concern was it being powered on for 10 hours a day in a showroom, seems like a lot of mileage, but I’m new to tubes, so maybe that’s not a big deal. I’m going to give Upscale...
I think I’ve narrowed down to a Primaluna Integrated amp to build my new system around. I test drove the Dialogue Premium HP today, which lists at $4399, but the dealer said they’re moving the demos at $2600 to make room for the new EVOs. Any opinions out there on buying a 1 yr old demo at...
Reporting back on the QOTSA ‘Lullabies’ 2LP OG pressings they found in the vault. Mine came in extremely clean, Vinyl isn’t perfectly flat, but absolutely mint. Thrilled with the purchase, thanks to those who shared this!!
Honestly, if it would help me consolidate all into one system AND provide years of listening happiness, I’ll throw down another $1-2k...hit me with it.
Have not heard a Prima Luna, but they look gorgeous. Would love to jump into that EVO, but will likely stay under that range. I’m going to see if I can track down a local dealer to hear the Prologue.
That’s exactly what I need to do, just confused on how to pull it off. I’ve got $2k in the speakers, would like to stay at under $4k total after adding the amp, and some new cables.
Would love to get some thoughts on best amp to run a new pair of Monitor Audio Silver 300s, for a dedicated Vinyl setup. I have a Polk 3.1 setup in the same room, that I currently use for Movies and Music, but am torn on whether I should compromise for the convenience of both through my Denon...
“maxwell’s silver hammer” was one of the most memorable songs from my youth. My grade school music teacher taught it to us, and accompanied us on piano. It was pretty influential, he also wore a fro really well for a white guy.
Oh yes!! Thanks for remembering the podcast, that’s what prompted me to buy it! It’s so cool hearing his mindset throughout the process, fascinating stuff.
Admittedly, I’m not a huge Beatles fan, but I adore the White Album. It’s loose, gritty, adventurous and a brilliant collection of songs. I know fans are divided on this, but I’m really enjoying the new Giles Martin mix, sounds fantastic to my ears.
