| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. If you seriously think the Benchmark preamp is "the better choice", then that's what you should buy. I envy your lack of discrimination. | |
| Amazon Ships Records in Plastic Now @lalitk:I suppose I have been fortunate then, as I have ordered and received scores of undamaged LPs from AS. Perhaps the damages your’s incurred had more to do with rough handling than with the shipping parcel? Try to imagine how those LPs would ... | |
| Did your system ever get so good it pushed you out of the house? No, but I’ve been in people’s houses where the systems were so BAD the music pushed me out of the house. | |

| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? Linn LP-12. It still makes music. | |
| Budget Tube Preamp ($2000) Are you looking to add some warmth to your system or to your listening room? A good tube preamp will give you more depth, but warmth? I don't think so. | |
| $7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant? Let’s be real. You can do better than Mac, much better. But if that’s where you have set your bar, then go for it. The Mac will be much better than what you have now and better than what your dealer is trying to dump on you. If you don’t believe i... | |
