| Need an integrated amplifire for totem forest The Almarro integrateds, esp. the 318, are highly undrerrated, I own one and am using it to drive a pair of single driver crossoverless Diatone based speakers, and they are wonderful.

| The problem with the music I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the recording industry's lack of interest in the ultimate quality of the recording, they are simply in it for the money. I submit as evidence the lack of variety in artistic output (this is a VERY dip... | |

| 47 lab Shigaraki 4717 vs the 47 lab Gaincard 4706 The only thing I can tell you, if it's any help, is that between the 25 watt and 50 watt gaincard, the 25 is the better one, eapecially with the mod.Ray | |

| New to Opera, have some questions I totally hated opera until the Three Tenors Concert in 1990 was aired repeatedly on PBS in my area as part of a fundraising campaign. The quality of the performances and the camaraderie of the performers swayed me. It must have been a wonderful e... | |
| Phase Inversion?? The easiest way to check for phase inversion is to use any of the "Test and Demo" disks out there. If you hear a difference. act upon it. Otherwise you just need to try your system with a certered vocalist and then try it with the phase inverted a... | |
| How to setup on turntable It seems to me that, barring a defect in the turntable itself, the first thing I would check is the connections at the cartridge, ensuring their tightness and phase.Good luck.Ray | |
| New Audio Note M2 Preamp I have an M2 and loved the sound, and if you want to improve it you can roll the 6sn7 tubes for better ones and use tube dampening devices. It is a very musical preamp and was an definite improvement over using just my 47 Labs amps without a pream... | |
