What current China import sounds like a CJ??
In the final analysis - just buy U.S. designed and made in america products. I had one component that came through here manufactured in China, sounded like crap and gave up the ghost 3 months later. Literally threw it away in the garbage. That was... 
Anyone using a Belkin Pure AV PF60 conditioner?
I have been using one now for about 3 months or more. Can't comment on the video side, but for me on the audio side it works very well indeed and find it much better than the Monster Cable HT 5000 for my purposes. Plus it has saved my system twice... 
Is an IPOD hi-fi?
I actually listen to the I-Pod over the holidays. Not for me junk in junk out. We can thank Steve Jobs once again for corrupting the music. Bottom line he has managed to sell a crap product to the masses and get even richer for it. I was hoping it... 
best sub $1000 amp to mate with tube preamp
I have had both the Odyssey and the Musical Design units on the test bench here and to be candid the Musical Design remains here and the Odyssey has moved on. This is not to disparage the Odyssey, but to my ears and 48 years in this hobby the Musi... 
Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?
Just call Stan Klyne at Klyne Audio Arts and have him buld for you what you want. Just doesn't get much better than this, unless you buy FM Acoustics. 
best sub $1000 amp to mate with tube preamp
If you can find a good used Musical Design D 140 or D 150B,would be an excellent choice to work very well with a tube preamp. Plus John Hillig is always available to answer whatever concerns you may have. These are some of the most musical power a... 
Review: NAD 3120 Amplifier
Well low and behold another NAD 3020 came my way. It is a 3020B version. A few minor differences from the original 3020 and 3020A is the improved speaker binding posts. The Mute switch on the original has been replaced with a Mono switch. Appears ... 
Review: Polk Audio SDA-2 Speaker
Basically you can use any solid state or tube preamp. Takes only 5 watts to power these. So you have a lot to choose from. For years I used a NAD 3020 intergated amp with zero problem. 
Review: Threshold FET Two Preamplifier
Yes the FET One is a Class A ouput preamp. 
Review: Alon Model I Speaker
A friend of mine has Alon II Model II and they require no where near that power range. He is driving them with an Odyssey Power Amp., at about a 150 per side power amp with zero difficulty. 
The best CD Player for the money
If memory serves me correct the F 1 legends system is FM Acoustics amp and preamp, with the rest of the system Goldmund. My last update on this was 2003. Seeing as FM Acoustics never gives anything away, he probably paid for that. More than likely... 
The best CD Player for the money
The Wadia set was not a one box set up. But with that being said,all else that was with this system was way far over the top. Wilson Watt speakers Pass Labs Mono Blocks,Goldmund preamp. Plus some very esoteric interconnects and speaker cables.Afte... 
The best CD Player for the money
Just got back from Miami, where I heard a Wadia 270 transport with the 27i DAC. Or as I was told a computer processor. At any rate if I could afford this combo I could finally put my analog to rest. If there is better than this I have yet to hear ... 
Review: Yamaha CR-840 Vintage AM/FM Receiver Amplifier
This model did not have a pre in/main out rca connectors. 
Review: Goldring GR 1.2 Turntable
I stand corrected the P2 is now once again listed in the Rega catalog. Although it will cost more than the Goldring GR 1.2. Thanks for the update.
