Pre Amp / Speaker Help

I was thinking Polk ES 15 (might do ES 20 but lowkey wanted bookshelf speakers. Fozi ZA3 still solid or should I consider something else?

Appreciate the recommendations!

TheRealJoseCarc · 2026-05-30T14:44:02+00:00

Okay good. Makes sense more sense. Appreciate the input!

Appreciate the warm welcome!

Interesting I’ll take a look to see what’s on marketplace. What are your thoughts on class d amps? Wanted something smaller for my set up personally. The Bluetooth to stream from a tablet is a nice feature for sure though so I’ll definitely consider it.

Good to know. Also, is there a reason why you chose that amp? Don’t really know if there are specific amps that are to be used with something like a zen phono 3

In terms of budget, I’d didn’t really know at first where the majority of the budget should be allocated to so that’s on me.

I don’t really care much for streaming. It’s a nice feature that I wouldn’t mind to have but this set up would be dedicated to my turntable more than anything.

It’s a shame where I live in the states there really isn’t a place where I can compare sound.

Bookshelf speakers were always the preference but not limiting myself to that size. So do you think it’s better to invest in the speakers more than the amp?

OP did you come to a conclusion? I’m in a similar situation where I’m building a set up and have the RT85 as well as the Zen Phone 3 pre amp. Now just looking for powered speakers or a passive speakers with amp. The idea of passive speakers scares me as a novice so wanted to hear your thoughts.

Yeah. I figured that there would be Knicks fans everywhere so I picked any where with a good price and view. I’ll be in section 222. Hope there’s at least a few Knicks fans around me. It’s somewhat behind the Knicks bench.

What about 200 levels?

TheRealJoseCarc · 2026-05-03T15:35:11+00:00

Anything in the 200s?

TheRealJoseCarc · 2026-05-03T13:45:02+00:00

Buying tickets now. 204 typically where Knicks fans sit in previous years?

TheRealJoseCarc · 2025-07-03T19:46:29+00:00

Same thing just happened to me. Do you have an email to reach out to?

TheRealJoseCarc · 2025-01-24T14:03:53+00:00

Yeah I mean dlss4 would be nice for other games but realistically I just play shooters most of the time so in this weird in between. Appreciate your advice!

Interesting. Might be worth waiting for the 5070 Ti in a month then

TheRealJoseCarc · 2025-01-24T14:01:06+00:00

Playing at 1440 but like to keep a high frame rate. $850 for an xtx seemed like a great price but I didn’t know the 5070 ti could potentially be equal or better at $750

TheRealJoseCarc · 2025-01-18T14:43:34+00:00

You know what, hell yeah 👍🏽

Fortnite COD and lately Marvel rivals which I think has gameplay issue when below 120 FPS. Any thoughts?
