| tube amps with El 34s your favorites ?? While I had it in my system the Cary V12i was a nice sounding EL-34 based tube amp. You could also experiment with other output tubes as well. | |
| Entry level phono stage I was going to recommend the Bellari. For the money it seems like a nice phono stage. I haven't heard it myself, but reviews have been positive. Maybe you can get it on a 30 day trial and check it out. | |
| ground loop HUM please help Granite Audio makes a device called the Ground Zero that should solve the problem. It's a bit pricey but comes with a 30 day trial. | |
| Does such a beast exist? Electra-Print, Space Tech Labs, Goldpoint, and Welborne Labs are some other options. All are passive designs and can be customized to meet your needs. Well within your budget too. | |
| Cartridge abuse Same with me. I'm very careful around my cartridge but the one time I screw up it's major damage. In this case I lost a 6 month old Benz M2. I guess the bright side of it is the Benz trade in program allowed me to get an L2 as a replacement for a ... | |
| Tube dealers in los angeles? You might want to check with Brooks Berdan in Monrovia or Mitch Singerman in LA as well. On eBay there is a seller with the username Valvetronics in LA and here on Audiogon a seller with the user name Whoopdeedoo who is in your area. | |

| Smooth sounding Inter connects RCA RCA ? Any ... The Poeima!!! from RSAD was the ticket for me. Never thought that a silver cable could sound this smooth. Lots of detail without the edge. | |
| Transistor research labs D-225, PRICE? The D-225 is the amp version, the ST-225 integrated is $5500. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Interesting point about the religious connotations of the branding (especially in context with the company initals). It never crossed my mind, not that it would have prevented me from buying their products. | |
| Transistor research labs D-225, PRICE? $4500, sold direct. Contact Paul or Brain Weitzel directly via phone or email. They are very responsive. Email me privately if you want more information on performance as I own one. | |
| TRL Audio Mirror D1 Signature Dbld - money back guarantee if you don't like the mod. Not much risk except shipping cost. No one has taken TRL up on this offer after receiving their modified player. This should give you added confidence in TRL's capabilities. If you really like... | |
| TRL Audio Mirror D1 Signature Audphile - same philosophy applies. | |
| TRL Audio Mirror D1 Signature Audphile1- TRL made a huge point to me that the D1 in stock form was excellent and one of the best stock DACs that has come through their shop. It has a simple circuit which makes it easy for them to work on. TRL usually likes to replace the outpu... | |
| Virtual Dynamics I've been very happy with my Nite II pc. I may consider the ICs based on this thread. |
