| DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs Mike, when will you get a real preamp and stop futzing with the Placette? | |
| EMM Labs on Bad Redbook It's true that the EMM Labs won't make a bad recording sound good. But it can open up the dynamics on recordings that sound compressed, just as a good cartridge can do the same for what appears to be a sonically constricted LP. | |
| Musical Fidelity A220 can drive Magnepan MG20? No, it cannot | |
| Grado Mono Reference Cartridge It is the Grado Reference with a 5mv output. | |
| What is the amp for magnepan's: tube or solid? no offense taken. I thought you made some good points. | |
| What is the amp for magnepan's: tube or solid? Also, Tireguy, I believe it's somewhat misleading for you to ascribe to me your decision to procure the Parasounds. It would be nice if I enjoyed that kind of persuasive power, but I believe a certain Oregonian may have had to do more with it if I... | |
| What is the amp for magnepan's: tube or solid? Hold it, Tireguy. I did believe the Parasound was superior--until I received the Classe back from the factory and it had been upgraded.

| Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove It certainly sounds like a number of people prefer the IO by a wide margin to the Manley. I can see that the tubed power supply and lack of a transformer would certainly give the IO the edge. | |
| Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove And what about the Walker phono stage? | |
| Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove Has anyone else compared the Aesthetix IO to the Manley? | |
| Dartzeel NHB-108 What about the forthcoming Dartzeel preamp mentioned in Stereophile? Perhaps that might merit a whole new thread! |
