| Headphone connect direct to Amp Antique Sound labs makes a box for that purpose. Check the web site. Has a switch to direct speaker output to headphone or speakers. Sells for about 150. Just picked up a similar type unit from a fellow AGOer's by Russound, which is no longer in p... | |
| Suggest a tube integrated for me . . In your price range [brand new, with warranty]take a look at the SQ-88 from Quest for Sound. It uses KT-88 tubes and has remote volume control. I use it with VSR JR4 speakers, very musical. Steve from Quest is a great person to deal with. Second c... | |

| Recommendations on Integrated Amps If you like to check out a tube integrated for your price range, look into the SQ-88 from Quest for Sound, ask for Steve. A great amp and a nice place to deal with. The amp has a remote volume control as well. Just picked up one recently. | |
| Marantz MA700 or Acurus A200 My vote would be for the Acurus. I have the A200X5 and think the build quality and most of all the sound is great. This is my second Acurus amp,I have the A250 as well. Their gear is well made and really a cut above many others especially and thei... |
