Thanks for the tip.  Will post over there.   I have a sub (sitting unused) but think it would be overkill for my bedroom set-up.  EQ and Loudness have sufficed so far.  If I move to a bigger area I may hook-up the sub.   The Marantz is great and in top condition, my father had one of these...

Currently have some KEF Coda 7's on loan from a friend.  This loan is being called and I will need to finally buy my own speakers.  Set up will be Pro-Ject Debut Carbon>Marantz 1060>????? Looking to spend not much more than $350-500. New or Used is still up in the air.   I dont know a ton...

Im just getting into this as a crossover from electronic...but I've been mesmerized by Nils Frahm lately.  I don't know if its "piano" necessarily, but hes keys based.  Take a listen...really unique, and great song building.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRj6G6RB7jc

Wondering what OP decided on.  Im in the same boat.  Upgrading my hand-me-down Hitachi HT-21 budget deck.   Pretty set on a new (or only slightly used) turntable in the $300-400 range, even though I have a Marantz 1060 vintage amp.   1. Rega RP 1 - $445 on amazon (best price?) 2. Pro-Ject...

Wondering if anyone knows if the Loudness push button on a Marantz 1060 integrated is dynamic in nature?   Been doing some research and it sounds like Loudness has practical uses for lower level listening, to boost the highs and lows, where the human ear is naturally deficient, but at higher...

3rd (and final) bump's the charm?

Im sure someone either has a) value for either amp, b) some kind of listening experience with the Kenwood, or c) listening experience on both!   Por favor?!

Have the opportunity to buy either of these (most likely) and wondering how they compare. Assuming they are both in good condition.   Marantz 1060B - $175 asking Kenwood KA 601 - $100 asking.   I know a good amount about Marantz, but not so much about vintage Kenwood.  The Kenwood is 1980...

awesome, thanks for the replies.  Kind of what I was thinking, but just wanted to see the general consensus on how much "purity" people detract from things that are EQ'd.  Enjoying my music all the same!

Fairly new to this scene, but how do you guys view EQ adjusting as a legitimate means of making sound sound as it should?  Do you view excessive EQ adjustments as a sign of poor equipment, or an "untrained" ear?  Just curious.

Great, thanks!  I still need to do my basic adjustments (vertical tracking, anti-skate etc.) but i cant find the TT manual anywhere online so I dont know how to set the counterweight.   I did have to replace the belt, and the TT seems to be running a few beats slow...any ideas there? I...

Can anyone provide some more color commentary on the setup?    I also have a newer Yamaha RX360, but with no Phono inputs.  Anyone know if I might be better off using this one with a phono preamp?

Quote: I dont.  Hadnt really got that far.

I recently inherited a complete soundsystem via my girlfriends parents downsizing. Hasnt been used in years but it's now plugged in and working. I'm curious how to make sure I'm getting the most out of what I have.  Any universal tweaks/adjustments I need to look into?   Speakers: Kef Coda 7...

Looking to start my first real home stereo build...found these nearby on CL, asking you guys what you think.  It will be audio only system, mostly vinyl.    Can someone tell me a bit more about how these speakers would fit into that system and if its a good value?  ...

PRO 750's here.  Still burning in, and using iTunes/iPhone with occasional record player/amp.    My first pair of "real cans" and coming from Bose TriPorts...   At first I was a little disappointed.  I had high expecations..then I 1.) realized there is a ~100hr burn in minimum and 2.)...

Diggin this one outta the dungeon but...   I recently purchased a pair of Ultrasone Pro 750's.  While Ive generally thought they sounded great...i wasnt overly impressed.  I knew in the back of my head I wasnt using them to their full potential. I had only really listened through...

So I found the NEW model (black not blue) Ultrasone Pro 750's on Amazon for $260! Thinking about making a purchase...

Been reccommended Ultrasones before.  The price on those $130 is what I spent on my last ones. Looking to jump up a price range (price does not equal quality, i know)...so what about the 750's @ $235?      Also been looking at the Denon D1100/D2000...

I know theres a thread for this specifically, but of the 2 times I posted in it, I could not return to find my post or posts replying to mine.  So here I am.  I also sold my headphones recently, so my timetable has been sped up a bit.   Music: Electronic.  Mostly downtempo and ambient, but I...
