| best matching gears with Virgos, help please. As far as matching goes that's your taste and budget.Ruleof thumb is that (and some may disagree) that the amp will have a greater bearing on sound than pre.Tubes give better mids but can soften or roll off frequency extension.I am a tube guy and ... | |
| Speakers for Conrad-Johnson MV-60 I always wonder why folks buy amps before the speaker.I would choose speaker first and if it can use softening or better mids get a tube rig.If it needs bass control solid state.Check the magazines like Stereophiles Recomended components issue to ... | |
| VPI Flywheel with Aries Turntable - Help I have an extended Aries with the bearing upgrade.Not sure if it's the extended nature or the bearing being top of the line or what but a tech who has always pointed me right in the past said that you shouldn't used the flywheel with MY table.I'd ... | |

| B&W Speaker Selection Help-Maybe Amp help I sell the Nautilus where I work.Whereas I would definitely agree with Poorguy if it were your current Matrix speakers I would say that the 805 would be a better choice value wise than 804 (and the 803 Matrix for that matter) the new ones are all ... | |

| Preamp Showdown: BAT or Sonic Frontiers? Well after you've made your choice find thatbuddy who loves your speakers then sell for $2K-2500 and try the new 803.Staying with everything you like about your current speakers but new one's blow 'em away for $1K more list. | |

| 100w tube vs ss for Mag 3.6s P.S. the Baron can be run Pentode for 150 wpc but run triode in thirds for 90/120/150 on the fly so you may want more seductive harmonics on some music and full punch on others. | |
| 100w tube vs ss for Mag 3.6s Look for a used Mesa Baron for less than $2K and have your cake and eat it too with 150wpc.I am in opposite direction problem wise.My Mesa was great for a pair of 89db monitors but now I have 93 db efficiency so am tempted to go to SET's.But too m... | |
| BAT 3i or AR LS-7?????? Beyond the ability to run a long legth from rig to power amp and keep the cables short I wonder about the balanced /unbalanced thing.My $5K turnatable is single ended as is my digital source.Yeah true balanced from signal source is best as I have ... | |
