re: Audiophile/Vinyl Thread - Post Pics, Advice, Questions, Setups, etc.
Posted by Toreaux on 9/2/16 at 10:35 pm
Hey guys, new to this thread and am looking for advice. I'm no audiophile, but I love listening to vinyl and want a quality system. Old Sony receiver crapped out on me and I'm thinking of getting the Yamaha as501. It's got great reviews and is reasonably priced at $900 at a local shop. Was flirting ...

Too bad he dropped his band. His last album is not nearly as good and I saw him with his old band and his new. Total drop off. Still a fan and seeing him next month. Hoping someday he comes to his senses and gets the dead horses back!...

Saw him last week. Pretty good show except for his keyboardist. Dude's an attention whore douche. Couldn't stop barking at the sound guy. I was impressed with the show though. Wasn't sure what to expect since its obvious he's a master in the studio. Nailed it live....

I was at that show! Kid lit it up. Not much of a fan these days. Great guitarist but no stage presence....

What time did they start the other night? I'm dying to go but have to go to a wedding that night. They have two openers and show start time is 9. I'm thinking I can swing it....

I guess that's where I am confused...If I have a two channel amp with turntable, can I also use my laptop w/ itunes for that room AND run other rooms with different music off itunes? My buddy has the Remote app and it's free and seems to do the same thing as sonos. ...
re: Vienna Acoustics Waltz Speakers
Posted by Toreaux on 7/15/12 at 6:05 pm
Yeah, I guess I'm thinking about the future. I may someday add speakers in other rooms. Guess I would need a multi channel Amp for that? I'm just now learning all this in case you haven't noticed....

The sony is a str de-975. The more I research, the more conflicted i am. So many arguments for amp/preamp, integrated amp, and then you have people making sold arguments, saying there's no proof that a new receiver is less quality than an integrated amp. I am now thinking about the KEF qi30.. it's b...

re: Vienna Acoustics Waltz Speakers

I lesten to all kinds, from metal to rap to jazz. Not a whole lot of classical though. A guy on the avs forum is recommending I ditch my old Sony receiver and get a MUSIC HALL - A15.2 INTEGRATED AMP (on sale for $500) and some high end full range speakers. What do you think about this? Thanks again....

Thanks, but I'm limited to bookshelf speakers. Went to a store today and listened to some Paradigm Mini's...sounded good to me, but what do I know? I've been reading the axioms are a good deal....
re: Vienna Acoustics Waltz Speakers
Posted by Toreaux on 7/13/12 at 9:09 am
I don't know- $1,500? That's why I'm on Craigslist. Those Klipsch rb61 look pretty decent for $300. At least a starting point, right? Someone mention Marantz as a good entry level receiver. Do I have to have a sub? We don't really have space for it and my wife isn't a fan of having it in the corner ...
re: Vienna Acoustics Waltz Speakers
Posted by Toreaux on 7/12/12 at 7:36 am
That's exactly what I need- a sound snob to help me get started. Thanks for the tips. Here's what someone from the other site says: A speaker with that weight and height and only 3 inches deep clearly will be very unstable unless they are anchored to a wall or attached securely to a large baseplate ...
re: Vienna Acoustics Waltz Speakers
Posted by Toreaux on 7/11/12 at 9:47 pm
So you think I need a new receiver? That Sony is 15 years old, but I didn't think anything was wrong with it. What do you recommend- not too expensive? You guys think the Viennas are worth it if I get a sub? Or should I just keep looking? I also came across a pair of Klipsch rb61 speakers for $300. ...
