Oct 10, 2009	Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 Thanks Adam18 and also thanks to everyone else who answered my post; very much appreciated. I'm looking forward to listening to the Musical Fidelity A308 preamp.
Oct 10, 2009	Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 Well I've settled on a Musical Fidelity preamp. It's within the price range and has an IEC plug, phono stage and remote volume.
Oct 09, 2009	Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 So nobody likes the NAD C-165 BEE? It is in the price range and has all the features I'm looking for like IEC plug and remote volume. Also can just leave it on and don't have to mess with tubes.
Oct 09, 2009	Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 Armstrod - I like the Jolida Envoy about the best of all the preamps brought up so far. Just saw a used one a few weeks ago down at a store in Indianapolis where I had purchased some used Dynaudio speakers. Should have gotten it; probably gone by ...
Oct 09, 2009	Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 Adam18 - I noticed the Rogue Audio Metis was The Absolute Sound's least expensive preamp pick in the most recent issue. Looks like a nice unit.
Oct 08, 2009	Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 Thanks Tvad. The Juicy Music Blueberry Xtreme look like a good candidate.
Oct 08, 2009	Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 I thought about an ARC SP9, SP14 and even earlier C-J preamps . Should have mentioned though that besides an IEC I was looking for something that had remote volume.
Oct 08, 2009	Preamp with phono stage for under $1000 Thanks Harrahlv. I'll look into the Music Reference.
Sep 19, 2009	Jim Thiel has passed. I was really saddened by this news. Jim was a very nice person and I have always been a big fan of his work. My deep condolences to his family.
May 31, 2009	Raysonic CD128 blue light I had the CD168 and was able to kill the blue light from the remote. Apparently the CD128 remote is different.
May 30, 2009	Raysonic CD128 blue light I think it's the center set of buttons on the remote; it would be the third one down from the top.
May 29, 2009	Raysonic CD128 blue light It's done on the remote.
May 16, 2009	Cayin A-50t vs. Rogue Audio Cronus I'd pick the Rogue.
May 13, 2009	diy power cable Don't electrocute yourself or start an electrical fire.
May 11, 2009	Good Pre Amp W/Remote for Marsh A400s Amp?? You might want to consider a Krell KRC-3 or one of the newer Krell preamps if your budget permits. I had the Parasound Halo P3; not a bad preamp but I was never entirely satisfyed with it. The Krell KRC-3 outdid it by quite a margin.
