Krell / Mcintosh / Pass For Dynaudios
>>09-20-10: Auxetophoneit's unethical to say good things about Pass without a disclosure, but OK to trash Krell?<<Hey Sleepy, if you re-read this thread carefully, you'll find I make no endorsement for Pass Labs as a company and/or the... 
Krell / Mcintosh / Pass For Dynaudios
I am not a Krell dealer, no financial interest in the line, and therefore no need to disclose my status as a tradesperson.Wake up sleepy. 
How long should a cartridge last?
>>09-18-10: OilmanmojoIMO, too high or too low on vtf will cause problems<<Actually more damage occurs if VTF is too light than too heavy. Many folks find that counterintuitive, but it's a fact. 
Do Spectron Amps have faulty switching modulators?
M297904,Hi Joe.Totally agree but in this case the OP's behavior is back asswards i.e. the concerns are addressed after the order is placed.Shouldn't these questions, concerns, issues, etc. be reviewed prior to placing the order?I'm just not a big ... 
Do Spectron Amps have faulty switching modulators?
Did you contact Spectron before initiating this thread?Seems to me that would have been the more prudent route.Had you done that without a response this thread may have been better justified.Manufactuers' reputations can be unfairly and/or unneces...

Another dumb unsubstantiated rumor.Consider the source here folks.Actually ignore the source. 
Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman LP's

Phono Stage for Koetsu Black
I suspect that a Koetsu Black and Ear 834 would be a mismatch for most folks.Black is laid back and rounded; Ear is slow and sluggish.Combining them is sonic molasses IMO.Dealer disclaimer. 
Zu Soul Superfly
According to an email from Sean, Druid and Omen share the same FRD.Whether the nomenclature on the spec sheet has changed is another issue.I believe his email to be factual. 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Audiozen-Wow, those facts are indisputable.Awesome display of rock and roll knowledge.There's a seat in Cleveland with your name on it.

>>09-14-10: Gopherif my understanding is correct and they employ the same loading with the same driver/super tweeter<<It is not correct.They employ different full range drivers. The SSF is a newly developed full range driver whereas Om... 
best solid state preamp from Audio Research?
Nothing like a good consensus so the OP can make a wise choice.My vote is for the LS-D.The imaging is almost surreal. 
Opinions on vintage Dual turntables
