| A good 50-70 watts tube amplifier for $ 2000? Second the AES Six Pacs (or one of the versions of the Cary V12), as well as the Music Reference RM-9. The RM-200 may be a little over your budget, even used. | |
| Arm and MC transformer to match ZYX Air3 cartridge If you're set on using a step-up consider the K&K Audio which uses Lundahl transformers and has the ability for easy cartridge loading using your choice of resistors (no soldering required). You'll save some money versus some of the other bran... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? The Goertz will give you deep bass. If you like them in the center channel you will love them in the rest of your system. I compared them recently in my system to the Supra Sword cables that cost close to $1000. While I thought the Swords were exc... | |

| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? Yes, Andy has a lot of knowledge about amp technology, as well as RFI and grounding components which he helped me with. In some ways I felt he knew more about my amp than the manufacturer did. Andy certainly knew the right combnation of tubes for ... | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? Recently I read something on here that Andy was closing up shop. I see the website is still up so is there any truth to that? Every purchase I have made from him (at least 6 transactions), save one, has resulted in excellent tubes. On the one that... | |
| Noise from Left Channel This is generally okay with tubes as long as it is low level, but you can do some testing if you like to be sure it is a tube issue. Try swapping the tubes between channels. Start with your CDP. Take the 2 tubes and switch them. If the noise moves... | |

| DAC with Escient Fireball s & FLAC recordings If you're looking for a DAC try a non-os variety such as Audio Note (assuming your budget allows). There are also some budget versions such as Audio Sector, Audio Mirror, the Lite DAC models, Scott Nixon and more. While I allude to these as budget... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Go with the Alpha Core, I have heard both and while the Reality Cables are very good, I prefer their ICs over their speaker cables. | |
| I've found the cd player for analog lovers He has been brainwashed by Alex. Pay him no mind. | |
| How do I adjust the VU meters on my Tandberg 3014? Glad I could be of assistance. Hopefully you'll get over to John's place some time to check out his gear, not to mention his Alpha's. | |

| PS Audio UO vs P300 or P500 If you're going to move from what you currently have to a power regenertion unit there are better components out there than PS Audio. Try looking into a used Exact Power unit or one of the APS units. Otherwise I think the UO is one of the best pro... | |
| How do I adjust the VU meters on my Tandberg 3014? Stickwork,It's tough to stay in business these days. When I first went to Moon Audio they had a nice selection of used gear. The new gear was focused on home theater mostly which was not my cup of tea. You should actually just give John a call and... |
