| Should I Try a Tube Preamp? I'm with the suggestion to buy Audio Research preamp. In case you do not like it, it's easy to sell. If I have $1000, I would wait and save a little bit more to get better units than starting with a compromise right away. Anyway, search "tube prea... | |
| Rumble from Thorens 160 how to eliminate? For a quick check....You might want to move the table away from your speakers a little more if it sits close to it or to make sure that the table sits on solid stand and does not vibrate when your woofers are firing. Most of the time, rumble comes... | |

| Sme 3009 II ..... wich cartridge? It will work fine with the Denon and the Shelter! But it will sound much better IMO if your SME Series II has a detachable headshell and you can change it to a heavier one that will increase the cart+headshell weight.I am running a DL 103, and a w... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bbro,I had the same experienced. I thought the Supratek synergized very well with planars and electrostatics, be it driven by SS or tube amps. That was my impressions when I had my Martin Logans and Magnepans.regards,Abe | |
| SET the best? Count me in for "Yes" stats.Went planar, electrostatic, vintage, single driver, with both SS and tube amps not less than 30 watts and speakers as high as 94 dB efficiency. I was happy but still something was missing I thought per my preferrence. I... | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered Shakey,What is it in "To me....." that you do not understand?What about "All of the above are just my opinions base on what I heard of course." ? Go and find a better active preamp. | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered In my case, I never heard a passive preamp that impressed me. Be it the high price Silver TVC's from S&B or any other manufacturer etc. I always find them weak in the "attack" department. Passive preamp to me have that "sleepy" tone and tends ... | |

| Amplifier input tech question Ahhh, I stand corrected. Buy an amp with a volume control in the input circuit then. Or have an amp with much less input impedance instead of the 22K. Goodluck! | |
| Amplifier input tech question If I were you, check the type of volume pot you have on the preamp. If it is 250K, make it 100K. If it is 100K, make it 50K etc. For sure, you will increase the position of the volume knob without changing the output level. You have to look at the... | |
| Recommendation of a good nearfield speaker First of all, to me, the best near field speakers are the ones with a sensitivity rating of 99 dB and higher. Because you do not need lots of power to increase the SPL. A low power amp is all you need. Less power, less noise, more music. Make sens... | |
| Good Phono Stage for Benz Micro Ace. I own a Benz Ace low since 2004. I found the Wright WPP-100C (old model before the 200 series) mates very well with the cart using Mullard 6ER5 and Telefunken 12AU7 as tubes. George Wright passed away and close shop but sometimes I see this phono ... | |
