| Looking for a tube preamp with remote control. If you like the CJ sound, why not wait for a good used one to show up on USAM &/or Agon? As to the passive preamps, I have seen too many people who have tried it go back to a regular active preamp. | |

| What is a cost effective way to level match, for comparing different hifi components? You also need to do the test blind Do you REALLY need to be blind to judge equipment? I don't see very well.

Even then I’d try it in an inconspicuous place to make sure it works alright.Then to maintain, I’d use a very soft brush IE California dus... | |
| My Experience With Tekton @arafiq Also, the recent incident where the Tekton owner acted like a bully threatening legal action against people for exercising their right to express themselves was not a particularly savvy move if you ask me. What happened? I missed it. | |

| My Experience With Tekton A nice review of a noteworthy company & speaker. Thanks. I've never heard Tekton Speakers. I know they get a lot of good reviews. A lot of good reviews often just makes some people mad cause others are having fun with it | |

| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. With all due respect, I don't think" serious music listening and AVR' belong in the same sentence. For music I'd choose Rel. But for movie explosions et al I'd try the Rythmic | |
| Anti-Skate: Pete Riggle Engineering: A good read Has anyone seen or heard his tonearm?Comparisons? | |
| SVS SB-2000 Pro/3000 vs. REL T/7x I gave an answer. But you aren't looking for answers are you? Maybe someone will come along and argue with you. | |
| SVS SB-2000 Pro/3000 vs. REL T/7x You have posted some specifications which supposed to tell bass response. But how does it sound? Specs only tell so much. Rel adds a lot more than just bassIt will make main speakers sound bigger and better | |
