| Best sounding,reliable, tube amp below $700 used Thanks Autre, that helps a lot.I have owned both Adcom and Rotel(RC-990/RB-980BX) pre/power combos. As great a value as both are, they can be hard, edgey, and dry as all getout. Moving to tubes will be a revelation. I'd suggest selling your Adcom ... | |
| Balanced power compatabilty census I had a feeling I'd get called on that this morning, Zaikesman, and I'm glad you did. My comment does not apply to any consumer balanced power products(I assume), only people like myself who bought commercial/industrial isolation transformers and ... | |

| Best Turntable: Acoustic-Signature, Amazon Refere Hi DuffyDawg,I was actually joking, knowing that the Walker is no real-world option for most of us mortals. I seriously considered Acoustic Signature TT's last year before buying my Scheu. At first I was interested in The Final Tool due to reviews... | |

| Best 845 amp? Art Audio Carissa is a very, very, nice 845 amp. | |
