Tube Physics Question
The question from the op is really interesting; can anyone address it? Does the KT120 compress the signal, while the KT88 does not? 
Recommend your best sounding LP's
By the way, my CD collection also sits there lonely and unplayed since we swung back into analog in a big way.

Try Steven Wilson, he's a bit like pink Floyd on steroids. Get his albums "the raven that refused to sing" and Hand.Cannot.Erase. The track Drive Home has one of the best guitar solos in all of rock. Hand Cannot Erase the whole album is stellar. B... 
Sonus Faber Olympica III vs. Cremona M
I was about to pull the trigger on the Olympica III's this weekend but balked. Listened to the Wilson Sabrina connected to some Naim gear. The Sabrina's had really deep bass, but the highs seemed to bother me - nor really bright but too much of so... 
Interconnect cables for turntable
Thanks everyone - the hunt for cables is on! This is something I've been trying to avoid, but now have no choice but to find something suitable.BTW, my latest upgrade was to purchase a used VPI 3D arm, and I would say the difference is not subtle.... 
Interconnect cables for turntable
Not sure if the connection to the RCA jack is loose, or if there is something loose inside of the plug, but both interconnect cables now don't work. I swapped in a set of Audio Note interconnects from another system and everything works again, but... 
Interconnect cables for turntable
I could try fixing the offending cables, maybe later today, busy right now preparing my house and yard ready for winter. My cartridge is an Ortofon Cadenza Black, MC.  
Don't think my preamp likes feeding signal to two seperate places.
Sheesh! Al, I have to ask u how the SMS-1 would interact with my classe Ca-m300 mono blocks? I used zip cord to connect the SMS to the speaker terminals on each amp. The SMS power supply is an external dc unit.

Check into a Velodyne SMS-1 subwoofer management system, it has speaker level inputs so may not effect your preamp. I use one with my ARC LS27 with no ill effects.  
Turntable distorition
Call AA and tell them you have a problem, but I would'nt send the TT back to them just yet. How long will the round trip take, a month maybe more and what is the risk of damage? Now is a perfect time to learn TT setup with the advice of the retail... 
Songs Faber Olympica III
Check spike length for  both speakers; could be one speaker has all the short spikes, the other all the long ones. Speaking of long, I am really longing for a pair of olympicas to replace my Cremonas.

Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?
Try Steven Wilson. His latest album Hand.Cannot.Erase might be something that you'll like. His albums Grace for Drowning and Raven that refused to sing are also superb. Check out the song Drive Home on Raven. Wait for the guitar solo. If your syst... 
Allman Brothers at Fillmore East, which one?
I heard from MoFi and they confirm that Fillmore East is produced from analog tapes, so I ordered it along with MoFi's Kind of Blue and Analog Production's Phoebe Snow. Can't wait, but gawd these thing are expensive.
