Upgrade advice for processor
You are right I will have to talk to my dealer. It may very well be that they use upgraded parts and it may be worth the extra money. Did you happen to listen to both amps before you purchased or no. 
Upgrade advice for processor
I have looked at the A-5, but maybe you or someone can explain the difference to me between the A-5 and the MCA-50. It sure appears to me that besides the 3 more balanced connections which would be the center and surround connections the 2 amps ar... 
Upgrade advice for processor
Thanks for the responses so far folks. As of right now I am leaning toward the Anthem D2 and an Anthem MCA-50 for an amp. Keep the suggestions coming though. 
Your First Vinyl Album.
Don McLean American Pie......funny how you always remember the first one you owned 
I have a Jolida 302b and I'm looking for tube rec?
A question first, is this a modified 302 or stock because the stock 302 uses EL-34 tubes for outputs. I have found in "my system" and tube differences are system dependent that the new issue Mullard EL-34 tubes sound the best for reasonably priced... 
Anyone have a victrola
Yes I own a 1916 model VV-VI. It is all original and still works great (yes we can make quality equipment here in America). This is a table-top model made with solid mohagany. I have 200 needles, you are supposed to change the needle after each re... 
Ann Arbor, Michigan Blues Music & Record Stores
Don't miss Encore Records on Liberty St (400 block). Very large selection of vinyl and cd. 
It's 2008, what speakers deserve recognition.
Although not new, at their price point Linkwitz Orions are hard to beat. 
Looking for power amp with warm, smooth sound
Do not go with the Rotel 1080 if you are looking to warm up those speakers. Ii have owned the 1080 and it is anything but WARM, it is certainly on the bright side. The Cayin would be a good choice as would a Jolida 302BRC. The Jolida is an integra...

Paradisea Dac
Tvad, the 5 star GE sounded real good in my system too in the paradisea+, I still have that tube in reserve, I use 5 star 5751s in my amps and love them. That is the advantage of tube rolling, finding which tube fits your system the best! Are you ... 
Paradisea Dac
Ejlif, you are the first person I have seen that did not like the we 396 in the paradisea+. I thought the exact same thing when I tried that tube in my paradisea+. The stock tube sounded better. If you want to try an inexpensive tube that I though... 
Your last speaker?
I'm right there with the orion + speakers too. They do things that takes many times the price to do with other speakers. chadnliz you should really do yourself a favor and get a listen to these speakers if you like th 5a's. I also sold electrostat... 
What is the BEST sound card to use with a MAC G5
What DAC are you currently using? I have done exactly what you are intending, ripped cds in apple lossless to a 750GB external HD and Mac iBook G4 which then goes via USB cable (Kimber) to a Paradisea + USB DAC then to preamp (Supratek). The sound...
