| Tube Pre, HT Pass and Balanced Output The Aesthetix Calypso meets your criteria, I think; I've seen them in the range $3-3500 used on Audiogon,David | |
| Can anyone suggest a good 2-channel amp for $1500 since no one has mentioned Plinius, let me suggest that a used Plinius 8100 (or 8200 with 175 watts)would be worth considering (there is an 8100 integrated on Audiogon for $800, and you also get a very decent preamp and I think phono). But I'm afr... | |
| Quick Q to Plinius 102 owners. I don't have the 102 but I'm pretty sure the left switch is mute, and right shifts between class A and class AB (not sure which is up/down). You can download the manual at www.pliniusaudio.com, or just see which gets hottest/sounds best.David | |

| Best Beethoven's 9th recording? Many excellent suggestions above (especially Solti). Also:1963 Karajan on DG (sounds very good on vinyl, still one of the greats).For modern recordings, Mackerras, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Classics for Pleasure. Great recording, excellent sou... | |
| ATTN: Plinius 8100, 8200, 9100, 9200 Owners I use a Marantz SA-14, with Shahinian Obelisks, which I'm very happy with--I found Rollerblocks make a big difference, as well.Good luck!David | |
| What are the best speakers for Mahler? John Marks (Stereophile) says Shainian Obelisks are the "cheapest" speakers that can reproduce classical music with serious bass (e.g. Mahler 6). I have them, and they do--but they need a high current amp (Plinius is his recommendation). There is ... |
