    Just to update, I picked up an ELAC Miracord 50H from a coworker. His Dad bought it new and has taken very good care of it. Here are a couple pic of it without the wood dust cover: Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE using Tapatalk 2

    In Defense of Beats by Dr Dre & The Future of Audio

    I would agree with your last statement. I have been into car audio for years and when I mention it to some coworkers, the first thing that comes to mind is loud bass...until they hear my system. Most of them get out saying "I never knew that was in that song!" Until peoples eyes are opened to...

    Hey, thanks for all the helpful advice guys. I just recently stumbled across the musicdirect site while Googleing some of the previous suggestions They seem to have a pretty large selection. I will do more research on the units mentioned before making a decision on which direction to take.

    Sorry for the slow replies guys. I work nights so during the day I'm sleep. To answer your questions, I have not held a record in my hands since I was 10 years old. Needless to say, my vinyl collection is none existent. However, my mom and her six siblings have a collection that dates back to...

    Thanks, for the insight. The system I heard was Steve's (SlowGEEZR SYSTEM#196) and it was jaw dropping to hear an analog source sound that good! I understand that it takes a lot of money to get to that level, but I have to start somewhere. I am not afraid to spend the coin to get to that...

    The Pro-ject xpression seems to be way over my budget, but he Rega units may be more doable. How about the Pro-Ject RM1.3 or MUSIC HALL MMF-2.2? They seem to be around the same price as the used Rega P2 units.

    I was thinking $350 range maybe? I guess it depends on where the price of the good quality units start. I don't want to invest too much initally until I'm sure I'm going to stick with it.

    After hearing how good albums can sound, I am considering purchasing a record player. I would like to get something high quality but affordable, any suggestions? I have seen the Pro-ject Debut III on ebay for a decent price, but not up sure if they are good units that can be upgraded if...

    Vignette's or Encore TF for Surrounds??

    The motion series is a different tweeter technology and has a diffrent sound than the TF series. To my ears, the TF is a closer match to the panels. As far as using them as L/R channel speakers they should work fine mated to a sub. I was going to do a L/C/R with the Encores until I got my...

    Vignette's or Encore TF for Surrounds??

    I haven't heard the vignettes but I am using an Encore TF as the center channel with Aerius for the mains. Timber match is very good in my opinion. Transition from center to left or right is pretty smooth.

    New Tubes and ML

    There is more to it than that. A watt is a watt, but you have high current wattage and high voltage wattage. High current is better for low impedance loads and high voltage is better for higher impedance loads with low inductance drivers. Best scenario would be to use high current on the panels...

    New from Dallas with a small ML start.

    UPDATE: I drove down to Round Rock today with my two sons and $100 in hand to take Steve up on his generous offer. WELL WORTH THE 3 HOUR DRIVE! Steve had the Aerius' waiting for me just inside the doorway and his "stellar condition" description is a gross understatement! These babies are...
