| Speaker stand for Sonus Faber Concertino Domus Check out this A'gon vendor. Specifically, references SF designs as their inspiration.http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accsrack&1227543101&/Core-Audio-Designs-Model-A-Adj | |
| Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated? The Marantz Reference Series components are classically handsome, IMHO. | |
| Former Cary 308T owners - what next? I went from the 308t to a GNSC modded Resolution Audio Opus 21 and, in my experience, the Opus has the qualities you seek. However, since you have hinted at going the server route down the road, the DAC suggestion is a good one. You can get a good... | |
| Battery Powered Preamps While I'm not an engineer, i believe you can call the Dodd a minimalist tube design in that it only employees two 6922 variety tubes and, in fact, only one of the twin triodes in each tube is employed at a time. In other words, you could burn the ... | |

| Denon DVD 2500BTCI Blue Ray or Denon 3930CI player Get the Blu-ray. Once you upgrade your TV, you'll be glad you did. | |
| HDMI Cable comparisons When I set up my HT about a year ago, I bought four Audioquest HDMI-X cables at $100 each. Later I bought by mom/dad a TV for Christmas and bought HDMI cables from Monoprice.com after reading about them over at AVS. Out of curiousity, I swapped ou... | |
| Merle Haggard Album Recommendations Second, Kern River. Also, if you like Merle Haggard, give Joe Nichols a try. I think he has the best male voice in country music in recent history, although his choice of material has not always been the best. However, his "Revelation" album is qu... | |
| Load Settings for Dynavector 20XL? I think if you look at the specs closely, the ">1000 ohms" part is referencing the requirements for the high output version of the cartridge. The low output cartridge requires loading greater than 30 ohms. I currently have my 20xl set at 121 oh... | |
| Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp GSherwood, we have similar systems. I have the Dodd and Merlin TSM-MMe's as well. For amps, i am using VAC 70/70 Monoblocs. The clarity and detail with this combo is quite remarkable. |
