| Whats on your turntable tonight? Amy Winehouse, Back to BlackLana del Rey, ParadiseThe Doors, Absolutely LiveOh, and my new KAB TD1200 Dampener. OMG it has really smoothed out the high end!! And no sidewall chatter or skipping yet. I'm more impressed than I thought I would be. | |
| Can someone point me in the right direction? LP player / Preamp / Dragonfly Red... Just thought I would give an update: I am enjoying music! I ended up getting the PLX 1000 and an Audio Technica VM760SLC Cartridge. I have a Pro-Ject Tube Box DS as a preamp and I just rolled my first tubes into it, a matched pair of 12AX7 Sylvani... | |

| Help me power my Kappa 8.1's please! I just read a review of the Anthem on digitaltrends and if it sounds as good as they make it sound then I WANT ONE! With that much power, Bi-wiring should sound great right? I was thinking Bi-amp but this would simplify things. |
