| has anyone cmpared audionote uk vs. audionote jpn. I have listened a fair amount to the vintage Ongaku and M7 Kondo units as well as various Audio Note UK stuff (Conquest, Conqueror, M1, M2, M5).The Kondo stuff is better, period.

| Phono preamp or preamp with phono selection ???? used vtl 2.5 linestage tubed preamp with remote about 800/900...then send it to VTL and have them install a new/warrantied tubed phono stage for another 550...excellent unit and VTL remains to service it as required (hopefully not) | |
| Best intergrated amp for under $2000 For solid state look to a used YBA Integre...very nice piece with lovely construction. Used Vecteur int amps are excellent, too, and the Vecteur designer was formerly a YBA guy.Good stuff. | |
| HELP best analog system brand new for $5,000.00 For 5000 used I would try to score the Amazon Model 1 with the Schroder DPS tonearm that has been for sale at an asking price approaching 7k for several months now. This would be a table system to get you off the endless upgrade cycle and listen t... | |

Steve Sank and Nick Gowan are both much more responsive to the phone than email as they get a lot of idle questions via email.If th... | |
| Best turntable for easy setup and no maintenence? another would be a Scheu Cello with rb250 mounted; about a grand landed from Germany. Uses same bearing as the more expensive Premier Mk II (Absolute Sound recommended component a few years back). Very nice unit with a moderate sized footprint. | |
| Idler wheel drive vs Belt Sounds like a great deal for a warrantied sp 10 mk ii with plinth and a decent arm. Pity the plinth will not accept a 12" arm and only 9" arms. | |

| 15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy? Find a Bag End dealer and audition one of the best. Go review their site; think they may offer both sizes. Great product, rarely found used. |
