| SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ? Holy crapcakes batman! Stanwal, you are absolutely correct. I forgot about the Gamut. And the Mark 1 should be had for less than 2000 like suggested in the question. I have a Mark II and it is exactly that. I have not heard the latter, but based o... | |

| No preamp 'Balance' control? Im a purist at heart. Before being able to afford audiophile quality gear...balance, bass, treble and the like were mandatory. After hearing what great equipment can do...I dont miss those controls one bit. If the recording is off a bit...big deal. | |
| Tube amp selection- for Magnepan 1.6QR VTL tiny triodes with my MMG's...you would think not possible. But it is possible. Maybe not quite enough amps realistically, but the pairing is great. Cheers | |
| Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers Great...thanks. You will now be forever bugged for your knowledge. Cheers. | |
| ASR Basis Exclusive or Audia Flight Phono I have settled on the ASR. Keep in mind that the signature will integrate differently depending on other components. What may sound highly resolving could be needed in a system that lacks this parameter. And, visa-versa. I love the ASR's neutralit... | |
| How much difference does a phono stage make? PLENTY! Go for it and you will be amazed. IMHO, the difference can be more obvious than any other change in a system. Cheers. | |
| Anti-Cabls Ic's alternatives? Tvad...I'm shocked you do not know the answer to this simple question. Let me help...your average size toilet has an opening big enough for someones head to fit in comfortably (dont ask.) BUTT...and thats a big but...if you can manage to pass all ... | |

Also, what would be your opinion for recommended enclosure parameters? I hope you dont mind me picking your expert brain? Also, you mentioned the SEAS is bet... | |

| Best speakers to go with a turntable I have a pair of JBL 4312C monitors and they are fantastic with low and high output amps. Their neutral response is excellent for rock. | |
| active speaker system, ideally child friendly I have been lucky enough to have both my (now) 5 and 7 year old boys almost completely ignore my systems. I handled their curiosities by allowing them to investigate while being supervised. Additionally, I had explained to them that I would allow ... | |
| Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers Dear John,From reading your response, I would have to agree that I have not heard many single driver speakers. You have the upper hand when it comes to that. Seems though, that may be your only advantage. Let me know when you have graduated from "... | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? Yes it did clear things up. Let me sum it all up:1 - You obviously think that hijacking someones thread is more important than pointing out accidental grammatical errors.2 - Merriam also has an extensive definition for "humor" which, IMHO, you ne... | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? ShakeydealNo sorry, If I want real bass, Ill hop in my bass boat and go for a trip listening to Jaco on the bass. I hope that cleared it up for you. |
