| CD Player for my Jolida 707a FWIW, I did a shootout of the JD 100A vs. the Rega Apollo and the JD 100A won hands down. | |
| Best Used Speaker Under $4,000 w/ Respectable Lows I second the Aerial 10Ts, provided you have an amp with at least 200 watts per side. I still have my 10Ts, and even though they have been relegated to the fronts for our HT, I still listen to 2-channel in that system a couple of times a week, just... | |
| recommendations for upgrading Bryston BP-26 Dr joe - When I first read your post I immediately started to respond with my original recommendation, which was for a Shindo Aurieges. Fortunately I re-read your post and saw that you were only interested in a SS pre-amp. So why am I now mentioni... | |
| recommendations for upgrading Bryston BP-26 A used Levinson 380S is worth considering. I have owned a lot of Levinson and Brystion gear in the past until I transitioned to tubes, and always found the Levinson pre-amps to outperform the Brystons in terms of overall musicality, which for me i... | |
| Best value in 5 chan. power amp under $3,000 Anthem Statement P5. | |
| Looking For Neutral Tube Amp Recommendation An excellent "neutral" SS amp is the Nagra PSA. Worth a listen for anyone who is looking for musical accuracy/neutrality and willing to consider SS. I alternate a Nagra PSA and a Luxman MQ-88 in my primary system. Both are great amps. And I have f... | |

| Speaker audition: a novice’s journey I believe the Leonore has a front-firing midrange (and tweeter) and two rear-firing woofers. | |
| Next step: tube pre or tube power amp? Stevecuss: If you are now liking the idea of a tube integrated, I recommend you add Leben to your audition list. A SS integrated option that has a lot of "tube-like" sonic/musical character would be Luxman. Both are exceptional! | |
| Accuphase amps & Tube Preamps? Spl:If you do decide to explore Shindo, be prepared for how seductive they can sound! They offer the best musical experience by far that I have heard for single ended inputs. If I had known how much I was going to like their sound, I would have sk... | |

| Accuphase amps & Tube Preamps? In my secondary system I am using the Shindo Aurieges with an Accuphase P-3000 and I could not be more pleased with the result. Very musical, detailed, and smooth sounding through the two speaker pairs I have used in that system - first the Verity... | |
| Tight accurate midfield monitor pair suggestions You would have to stretch your budget a bit, but Devore Fidelity's new 3XL are a great choice at $3750. | |
