| New tube amp for ML Prodigy CAT, VTL, ARC???? Why not a CJ Premier Tube amp ?(just curious) | |
| Sovtek 6550 - Can they really be THIS bad??? I own a pair of CJ premier8s, used them for a year with Sovtek (16 of them!) tubes with no problems except wear.

| Best $1k Integrated Amp for Spendor S3/5's I would seriously consider the NAIM line | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 I have just heard the ACT, but have had some previous AR preamps and currently own a pair of Premier 8s.

The preamp and amp is a good choice IMO, Paradigm speakers are a no-brainer (eventhou not familiar with that particular model).Some options for CDPs wouold be the new Cary line, Metr... | |
| Upgrading Preamp - How About Some Suggestions Yes. the CAT is a great option considering you want a full-function preamp, my other suggestions would go for a First Sound or a Hovland but you may need a separate preamp to take care of your phono source. | |

| Burn-in time for 6550c tubes ? UPDATE!!well, these new tubes have now more than 30 hours on them, and sound is really "exploding" out from them.An interesting note: Due to the perceived additional energy I have now with the new tubes, I needed to re-locate my speakers; now they... | |
| Burn-in time for 6550c tubes ? the LPs are upright Bombayalla, look again!!!Thanks for the heads-up anyway, I have 500 more in the closet, and spinning them quite frequently!!!Fernando | |
| Thoughts on the Jeff Rowland Concerto integrated? The Rowland signature sound in present in almost all of their amp designs, I would describe it as velveted, nice soundstaging and very coherent in all the sonic soectrum (freq. response).I have had more than five Rowland amp (including the Rowland... |
