| Your budget - $20K - best system for a small room $20k is a magic number since it *CAN* be attainable for a lot of folks. $308/4weeks is $4k/yr. That's a major component purchase each year right there! In four or five years you'll have your $20k (or thereabouts) system. As to milkman's observatio... | |
| Tube amps for classical music FU29 vs EL34 Think of the KT90 as a 'heavy duty' EL34. A KT88/KT90 tube will have more bass than an EL34, as others have mentioned. They will also have more power, FWIW. | |

| Are you delighted at your present system? No, due to a bad room. Good news is the purchase of my first home is closing next month, and I look forward to dedicating the basement as a listening room. (I live alone with my girlfriend, which yield omnipotent control over placement issues, and... | |
| New to SACD--so what do I buy? Although not the advice you were looking for, if you are into Rock and Heavy Metal you might want to invest in a vinyl front end. There are many more options for heavy metal (including new releases by current artists) on vinyl. If you live near a ... | |
| RRL Showed up at my door yesterday.... I, too, put my noisy, used vinyl to the test, and the RRLs stuff really works better than the nitty gritty and DD fluids, in my system, with my vac, and my vinyl. Glad you like your RRLs fluids! | |
