best phono preamps?
Cmon guys, this is getting stupid. There is more degredation in the musical signal before it gets onto vinyl for us to be worrying about 12 additional colorations a 1 metre cable makes. I now have MC and MM stage inside my pre amp and the vinyl so... 
New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF
Thanks G. I have heard the REF1000 and it sounded quite good. However, when you opened the amplifier it looked EXACTLY the same as the ASP1000 modules. Brands like Rowland, Cary have encorporated toridal transformers etc to make the module sound d...

What does Bel Canto do to the ICE power modules other than put them in pretty cases? What has bel canto done new for the version 2, or is there a new ICE power module out?

Dgob, How much does Raul charge for the 3160?? Do you miss the remote control, at least for volume? What is the view of the 3160 now that you have livedwith it for some time? ie strenghts, weaknesses etc

I have heard the Jadis DPMC and it is very nice, however it can only be used with medium output MC's otherwise it is too noisy. My dyna XV-1 at .38mv was too low output and too much tube noise was introduced into the system. I think you need to gi...

EAR 88pb, Opinions?
Opus88. I am afraid you and I have wooden ear's and everything "audiofeil" sells is the best and offers great value. - NOT!! Audiofeil, If you have nothing value to add please keep out of any audio discussions because you my friend are the worst t... 
EAR 88pb, Opinions?
The 88Pb is a wonderful sounding phono stage. I little forward, but superior in the way it plays music. You would probably use the 4 ohm tap for the dynavector. The colume control is handy as the 4ohm tap has a lot of gain. It is competitive with ...

Exchange Rate Positively Affecting Caliburn Price?
Sppedy, sounds like you need a drink and some music to play!! I sincerly hope you get it all together soon. I totally agree. The main reason I spend so much on my audio hobby is to play and enjoy my 4500 or so record's. So many of the different mu...

SpeedyI can't believe you still don't have your system up and running yet!! I would be an alcoholic by now. Send the mark II armwand to me this week and I'll tell you which one sounds better. BTW, How can you tell if your arm wand is ceramic or ti... 
Exchange Rate Positively Affecting Caliburn Price?
Yea, you are not wrong dudes. .98 two months ago, now below .64 cents to the US dollar. Crazy considering Australian banks are not in any financial troubles. I was going to buy a 2nd arm wand for my Phantom. No buying of US hifi for quite some time
