| McIntosh Preamp for McIntosh MC7270 The link you provided doesn't tell what the output of the phono stage is. It just says the cartridge output is 5mv. If that's what going to the amp, it's not nearly enough. I also am using a 7270, it's a great amp that will work great with any p... | |

| Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables Start with Audioquest Rocket 88, they are the best bang for the buck Audioquest cable. You can usually find a nice used pair for much less than a thousand dollars. Paying six grand for speaker cables is just ridiculous. | |

| What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses? Well I won’t touch the fuse debate, although I do use HiFi Tuning fuses and some other cheaper Chinese ones, just for the hell of it. Here however is my solution to lightening and those fast on and off brown outs we get here in Florida, the light... | |
| Tube DACs If those dac manufacturers didn't expect it to be used directly to amps, they should just leave off the volume controls, no sense having the signal go through two analog stages, one good and one crappy. | |
