Review: Audio Research SP-6b Tube preamp
How does the SP-6b differ sonically from the SP-6c? 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Buy a Tivoli model 2 with a subwoofer for 240 dollars and forget about anything else. 
Best CDP under $1000 for Roksan Caspian Amp?
I have the Rotel 1072 and like it very much. See the thread about whether the 1072 deserves product of the year from The Absolute Sound. 
Rotel 1072: Deserving of product of the year?
I was wondering if anyone has replaced the power cord and if it makes a major difference? I have the 1072 and like it very much. I haven't auditioned it against other players. I had a dealer bring it to my house and use an extension cord and it so... 
Average Price Spent for Speakers
Lrsky, my recollection from other posts is that you now have a position at Von Schweikert. You will be able to appreciate this purchase being influenced by cosmetics. I was recently looking for good used speakers that were about 5 years old. I had...

Charliee, I have been on the fence on buying the Supratek. I have posted a couple of times on the big Supratek web site. As soon as I think that I am about to order from Mick, someone tells me that I must get the vibe or the First Sound etc. The t... 
Best integrated under $1500 with Phono
Spencer, Thanks again for your input. What you say makes a lot of sense. I will let you know what I do. There is a couple of month wait on the Berning but I really want one. A question about your BAT gear, what cable did you use since one is suppo... 
Best integrated under $1500 with Phono
Sbank, thanks for your comments! I am actually all over the board on this topic. I wanted to see what was available in a reasonably priced integrated because this hobby can get expensive in a hurry. My middle tier option at the moment is to get ei... 
How long to burn in Rotel rcd 1072?
I must say after allowing the Rotel to burn in for a month that it sounds tremendous! Amazing sound for the price! 
$500 Cartridge for Well Tempered Classic
I went ahead and purchased the Grado Sonata and it should be coming soon. I was quite interested in the Dynavector and the Clearaudio virtuoso wood, but I figured that this is a safe choice. Also I can also buy those other cartridges at a later da... 
$500 Cartridge for Well Tempered Classic
There is a new Grado Sonata that is selling for $365.00 that sounds like a good bet. Thanks for the input. Bob
