| Class A SS vs. Class A/B SS I ran Monarchy SM-70 monoblocks for a number of years with great success. They deliver Class A sweetness in spades and drove with authority every speaker I threw at them. They were a bit noisy but the newer Mk IIs are supposed to be significantly ... | |

| California Audio Show-why I hate audio conventions Regardless of whether you dig her music/style/hair/piano playing/voice/whatever, Krall's music is very well recorded. I like some of her music, not all, but if I want to show off my rig, the first thing that goes on is Temptation from Girl in the ... | |
| NAD 7175pe The 7175 has Pre Out/Main Ins, so just get a Y adapter and run the subs off the Pre Outs. Should work fine.David | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? Mofimadness,You and I must have been dating the same woman, as we wore out a copy of Captain Fantastic while making out in her parent's basement. She was a pretty good piano player and loved Elton John, and her dad had a nice rig down there to lis... | |

| New to tuner for 91.7FM UW Madison WI Marakanetz,There are two big variables with your question, one we (those of us out here in Audiogonland) can't possibly know and one we can at least guess at. Broadcast vs. streaming for any station will depend on the quality of the broadcast sign... | |

| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Here in Eugene, OR, we're blessed with 4! public radio stations, all of which use minimal or no compression, so it's definitely worth having an FM tuner here. Rock, jazz, blues, classical, old country, swing, just about every genre is represented ... | |

| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware Marty is absolutely right about privatization lowering the cost of bandwidth for everyone. I'm old enough to remember when a 56K frame relay circuit was $500/month and a T1 (1.5Mb) was $2,500/month! And the reliability stunk on both. I now get 10M... | |
| help me to understand the gain Less power output won't solve your issue - gain is separate from power. According to Stereophile, the DNA-1 has a gain of 32dB! That's really high, and a big part of your problem. I would investigate either a passive preamp or, if you like the Pri... | |
| Vincent PHO-8? Jolida JD-9A,? Phono Pre's $350-500 My current phono preamp is the Jolida JD9, having started with the built-ins in my Advent 300 and NAD 7140 and moving through a Hagerman Bugle, Monolithic PS-2/HC-2b, and Vista Audio Phono 1. The JD9 was slightly better than all of them until I up... | |
| td-01 chinese tonearm? I'm not sure I'd agree that it's a similar concept to the Well Tempered arm. There can't be more than a drop or two of damping fluid in the well of the TD-01, and the contact area of the ceramic ball is very small. The amount of damping would be m... | |
| Is centerclamp like TT Weights as good as TT maker Weights and clamps work differently and are made for different applications. If you're going to use a weight, you need to make sure it won't adversely affect the suspension of your Townsend. If it will, you'll need to use a low mass clamp.David |
