| Any Tube Int. Amps w/ a phono built in? Unison Research Unico Integrated Amplifier. The phono input is a reasonable option. Don't know how good it is though. | |
| Upgrade Path: CDP or Preamp I second the CDP recommendation. Jolida 100, Music Hall CD25, Rega Planet 2000 (not Jupiter) and perhaps CEC CD3300 (new at Audio Advisor, CEC makes good gear) can be good candidates. | |
| American Made Hybrid Integrated Amp Is Belles american? If so, there's the Belles 250i (125 watts per channel at 8 ohms). www.powermodules.com | |
| Best CD/DVD Player with "Variable audio Output" Resolution Audio Opus 21 (with volume adjustments in the analog stage). | |
| Medieval-style music Between Flex's and Rushton's recommendations, you got yourself a very comprehensive list. They nailed it!. La Spagna is a bit hard to find since it's out-of-print. | |
| Medieval-style music Any recording of the Terra Nova Consort on Dorian Records. The one called Renaissance en Provence is stunning. I've played some tracks on this disc to demo systems at the HE2003 and a lot of people really liked them. | |
| Signal Cable or Transparent ? You do not need Transparent cables for this system to sound great. There are plenty of cables on the market that will match well. However, I do not have experience with Signal cables. | |
| Recommendations: Mozart's Don Giovanni? I second the Lorin Maazel's version. It's also my fave. However, it is not without idiosyncrasies. For a more well rounded version, go for the classic: Eberhard Waechter (Don Giovanni), Joan Sutherland (Donna Anna), Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (Donna El... | |

| BAT VK-300X "supertube" integrated Would you be willing to consider Pathos Logos? There's one for sale at $2650 (condition 9/10) which is a steal. I have no relation to this person. I currently own a Pathos Logos and get surprised everyday by how musical it is. It has great PRAT an... | |
| Help with Integrated Amp Choice Of the 2, go for the Plinius ,IMHO, for the following reasons: - More power- More air around the notes along with large soundstage and great dynamics- Better resale valueIn long term listening, Simaudio amps tend to sound a little dark, foreboding... | |

| Isophon: Any opinions on Isophon speakers I heard Isophon at CES2003. They were driven by both SS and tube gear. The sound was pristine but analytical. | |
| Gershman X-1 vs. Revel M20 vs. Tyler Monitors Like you, I was excited about all the hype surrounding Gershman speakers. I almost bought a pair without auditioning. Luckily, I waited to hear them at the HE2003. I left the Gershman room in less than 5 min. The sound is extremely bass heavy, unn... | |
| Totem Hawk 86 db sensitivity I posed a similar question to Vince Bruzzese of Totem at the HE2003. He said that the Hawks should be a decent match for 40-50W amps but not great. The Sttaf should be a better match according to him. Hawks like a little more power especially if y... |
