| Balanced cables Stringreen, I, too, own Vandy (Treo's) and am currently using the Atma MP-3 and MX-R amps (non Twenty).Ralph sold me a set of XLR cables (25foot) to go from the preamp to his MA-1's. They weren't expensive and I find them to be very listenable (no... | |
| Equalizers Personally, I wouldn't bother with equalizers. Though I haven't tried them, DEQX or the like, would be the way to go nowadays.B | |

| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. If I were you, I would try to go to some dealers and just sit and listen to music. Try out as many brands as you can.

| Have there been upgrades to the Rega Apollo-R CD player through the years The Multibit provide better sound reproduction.Both companies offer upgrades to their products, which I feel make them good buys. DAC's are evolving quickly and spending more than $2K is, in my opinion, silly.B | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? Yes, zipost, let us know how you fared.B | |
