| Pre/Amp/Int for Vandersteen 2ce Sig II for +/-$3k Look into the Cayin line, great sound and value. The 100 model would drive the Vanies. | |
| Which file is better to rip cd's to itunes You will be sorry, so don't even think about selling the source cds. | |
| Simon yorke tone arm Have you asked Simon? Given the price, I am sure he would do it for you if you lived close by. | |

| Audiocubics R-cube remote volume control review A better less expensive solution is the Chase RLC1, generally comes up on e-Bay for about $75. The chase unit also has balance, bass and treble features. I've use the chase for many years and found it does not add any thing to the source sound. | |

Bring the speakers out to accommodate that. If the cabinet is too large I suggest taking it out of the ... | |
| This is what I already have Be sure for a cd/sacd player you get a Sony 595 as a refurb from SonyStyle, for $60. How can you pass that up? | |
| Addiction to Brand Marantz. Brought my first unit pre amp fifty years ago. Nothing can shake my Marantz addiction. Well, maybe Cayin, my latest addiction. But I still have many Marantz units, mostly the Estoric series. | |
| WHAT CARTRIDGE FOR CLEARAUDIO EMOTION? Be bold, and cheap. Try a Shure 97. I know, I know, how can something so cheap sound so good. Well it does and it makes a great replacement while you are looking for another cartridge. |
