| Best SS amp for Zu Druid Mk IV speakers Try one of Nelson Pass' First Watt amps. The F3 and F5 are great with Druids.Keep in mind both amps operate in Class A mode and draw a significant (200W and 180W) amount of power if you intend to run 24/7.Disclaimer: Pass retailer but not a First ... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ Marty's and Restock's findings just goes to show that one man's ceiling is another man's floor.(Credit to Paul Simon.) | |
| Cardas Neutral Ref IC v Cross IC Sonic traits?? The differece is whatever your ears perceive, not what another poster hears or writes.Cables are system and listener dependent; the chance of somebody here having the same components, room, and listening preferences as you are somewhere between sl... | |
| I got a stylus cleaning kit for, but--------- Deacon deserves induction into the "Tweaker's Hall of Fame" for the ME. | |
| Krell or Anthem ??? You did not list specific models only manufacturers. Once again, you are dancing around the question and not supporting your contention. I believe your statement is nothing more than hyperbole and bluster. Your posting history is replete with the ... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ Marty,I've only heard 2 and I think that was clear. I also added the "YMMV" caveat.I'm not indicting all Rheas simply posting my experience.For the record, there are many noisy tubed phono preamplifiers on the market. | |

| KAB 1200 vs. everything else. FWIW, I think you've optimized your $1800 quite wisely. | |
| Good cartridge for playing rock Shelter.Not the last word in sophistication or finesse but lots of power and drive.No idea why they continue to use elliptical stylii. | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ I've taken a couple Rheas in on trade. They are extremely flexible; the remote loading and other functions are terrific. The used price right now makes they fairly good values.Both of the units I heard, however, were far too noisy for me.YMMV | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ Terrific post John. You're very fortunate in having the opportunity to audition all of them.Congrats on finding the product that works to your liking. Afterall, that's what it's all about. | |
| Krell or Anthem ??? Now please list all of the competition under $10K that it "stomps and blows away".Your words not mine.All you do is bloviate and employ hyperbole Dave.Due to lack of support your posts are without credibility or merit.But they are funny and a sour... | |
| Class D question............... Keep in mind Coffeey is using an amp that's almost 20 years old and probably shares time with a Bose Waveradio.Got an Edsel in the garage? | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables For the record I own 2 vintage tables, which doesn't change the fact that todays's best i.e. Walker Proscenium, TW Acustic Raven, Basis Work of Art, Rockport, etc. are simply better than their older counterparts. Better materials, better engineeri... | |
| Best Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon cd recording The MOFI version sucks; avoid it all costs. Without question the Japanese Capitol hybrid release catalog # TOGP-15001.I have 18 copies (vinyl and digital) of DSOTM and this cd is the best by far.If you can't find it, the 20th Anniversary Edition i... |
