$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Raul,I'd be glad to comment on the $5K budget. Here is the original post I made:"RaulWhether you're correct or others are correct, it feels like you're speaking from an ideal sense, not a practical sense. I see a real life issue I don't think you ... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Raul,In the conversation that's been taking place during the coarse of this thread, you've been asked to defend your position but you've chosen not to. You've given us a bunch of subjective bla, bla, bla...BTW, If you like the Linbrooks, you'd rea...

Artar 1,Congratulations on your decision, I agree others here - you will have a very satisfying analog front end! 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Raul,TWL has taken many hours of his time defending his position, but you can't find the time to REALLY defend yours.Furthermore, you're requesting more time from TWL when you haven't created a solid argument on your end. Look, if your going to ta... 
Narrowing down to JM Reynaud or VMPS...Help
Larryb,Tyler Acoustics is about 100 miles from you & if I were that close, I'd go there in a minute. You can check out pictures of Ty's facitilites on his website. I haven't heard the other speakers on your list so I can't comment. Good luck.

Pre amp w/ HT bypass
I have a line 3 SE too & I use separate interconnects. I think there are a some considerations to take into account, tube wear & to a lesser extent additional electric usage. Also, do you want to use balanced interconnects? If so you can't... 
Review: VeraStarr SILVER REFERENCE statement silver Speaker cable
I truly agree with this review. In my system, I bi-amp and I use one pair of Silver Ref spreaker cables per speaker to my Tyler Linbrook system. From my experience, these cables perform absolutely flawless. They seem to let the music flow without ... 
Review: VeraStarr 1m Silver Reference Interconnect Interconnect
I agree with everyone here. The Silver Ref IC's are natural, detailed, open, and smooth from top to bottom. I use the RCA and XLR versions. I feel Mike deserves every accolade I've read and the message I'd send to all my audiophile friends reading... 
Review: VeraStarr Silver Reference Power cord
I agree with everyone else. Mike's power cords certainly have earned there keep in my system, I've got about a dozen or so. The PC's let my components breathe like into the music. I've got both versions, the HC on my amps and the Silver Ref on all...
