Is there life after a KXR? Help
Pinkus the MRX's are amps. The KRX and the K1xe are pre's 
What is the best dielectric?
Kijanki - yep, I am fully aware of that and like I said they have their drawbacks. 
What is the best dielectric?
AFAIK foamed Teflon in oversized tubesOversizing should lower dielectric constant since air has lower DC than teflonThe first quote would indicate oversized tubes filled with microporous PTFE, perhaps you meant, 'made of', which would go along wit... 
What is the best dielectric?
microporous ptfe is 1.4 - 1.5 depending density, no oversizing, that's good for gases not solids, it will only increase dc.. 
What is the best dielectric?
natural unbleached cotton is closest to air in dielectric constant.That is a common misconception because people google dielectric constant and wind up here:http://www.asiinstr.com/technical/Dielectric%20Constants.htma company that makes instrumen... 
Best Phono Stage within 2000 $
If you can find a ASR mini basis that would be the one to get.. 
Audible Illusions Modulos 3a/Classe CA300 Okay?
Well if the CA 300 is similar to the CA 200, which I am guessing it is in terms of input impedance, 75k, then you’re good, if it is like the CA 301 at 16k then that would not be a good match. That output impedance of the AI 3a is spec'd at 1.2k, p... 
Levinson 333 Upgrad to 436 Monoblock
No such thing as too much power and 436 are a better sounding amps 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Albert, when you re-capped your sp10 mkII did you do the drive and circuit boards or just the power supply? 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
teak is not endangered 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Lewm, if your slab is cut then you will most likely beat me to the punch. I still have to get mine cut... 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Well it’s denser then wood but not as dense as slate. ART made a footer type thing with it that had a brass insert, I still have a couple floating around. I would say make it thick enough that the overall weight of the plinth is significant or do ... 
Parasound JC 1 or Musical Fidelity KW 550?
Another vote for the JC1's, I found them to be very good and mate very well with the SF line 2SE+ I had... 
Cambridge 840c vs. Bryston BCD-1 vs. Ayre CX-7e
Sorry for the late response Sthomas12321, I don't think there is a .v2 840c (yet), the one I was using was current.It did not stay in my system too long as the HF were unacceptable and really unlistenable in my system. While they were extended I f... 
RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,...
Jazdoc & Pubul57Glad you liked the Oswalds Mill room some much it is nice to hear it. I was lucky enough to be able to supply all the cabling for the room, Tel Wire, though I couldn't be there it is great to hear that it worked out so well! (t...
