Gallo Ref3 Subwoofer Amplifier
Audiot,Think it was the amp breaking in or the 2nd voice coils? 
Easiest compromise for weakest link?
Tuner.I seem to use mine for background noise when I'm doing chores so it wouldn't be a large loss (if you look at my system, I think it's already my weakest link with no desire to upgrade).(Those are words I have never spoken or written or contem... 
What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
C123,You're right, the rb300 is somewhat pedestrian out of the box, but it's a good value and I thought we were trying to keep to a price point. At $600 for the rig there are tradeoffs that had to be made...and walking instead of riding might be o... 
Think I'm going to try tubes...
tube preamps with ss amps is a common combination... (said the guy with the Supratek pre & the McCormack & Gallo amps) 
What Turntable to buy under $600 ?

I vote for the gallos (but I already voted with my checkbook). 
Lots of air= lots of subwoofer
I also found "more air" when I got rid of some bass nodes. Seemed very strange that the bass was so much more powerful when I added some bass traps (mondotraps) to my room.brent(when I stop learning, this hobby will probably seem less fun) 
Does a subwoofer amplifer exist?
Gallo just released their Reference SA. (www.roundsound.com).It can be used to set:x-overboost (through an eq function & stereo volume)phase 
Gallo Reference 3 vs. Spendor S8 vs. Harbeth Super
the brightstar stands were just reviewed in TAS. 
Gallo Reference 3 vs. Spendor S8 vs. Harbeth Super
I went to the Gallo when I went to a small room (there was not enough distance for the sound from Dunlavey SC III's to integrate properly).I am surprised at Tomryan's comment about bland & boring, I have found this speaker anything but that--i...
