Black Gate caps
Thank you for your response. Larryi, I've heard stories similar to yours... sometimes you just have to roll the dice. Jon Soderburg suggested the idea of the upgrade/mod for my Threshold T3i preamp with BG's.. The stock caps were Elna, they were r... 
Magnepan MMG or Vandersteen 1C
Thanks for the response folks... and, to Scpetscott; thanks for the tip, but no, I do not have budget gear -the gear do I have would be overkill for the speakers in question.. I'm just looking for some speakers other then a box design to work well... 
Best speakers for about $2000 a pair
Pstores: I want to know about the quality issues you've heard about the Maggies -I'm interested in owning a pair -like this year. 
Your First Vinyl Album.
The Beatles, Yesterday and Today. Bought it in '68 at an Eckerd Drugs store in Clermont, FL. The price sticker that reads; $4.98 list, our price $3.77, is still on it. 
Recommend me a new PHONO stage.
Primare R20. Go to their website and research.There's one here up for sale now. I have nothing to do with the sale or the person. 
Turntable/Arm/Cart for Classic Rock; $1500 budget
The Basis 1400 would be my choice with the Benz ACE cart. If you can find a used 2000 series TT they are upgradable, but then, with your budget you may have to compromise on the cart a little, but you can always upgrade that in the future. I like ... 
Phono.. does this mean?
I don't know what receiver you have but, an "old receiver" that says/has phono input on the back, with a selector switch on the front that includes phono, means yes, you can hook up a TT with MM cart. If your receiver is capable of MC cart, it wil... 
Threshold T3 vs. Adcom GFP-750
I'm not sure if the T3 and Pre30 would sound much alike. I do know that Primare recommends combining their components together for best results. Primare also told me their electronics would match well with Threshold's T series stuff, since the T s... 
Threshold T3 vs. Adcom GFP-750
Although, the GFP-750 was designed by Nelson Pass, the T3 was not. The T3 is a scale down version of the T2 designed by Michael Bladelius, who I believe also had a hand in designing the Primare Pre30. I'm surprised to hear that the Pre30 is a litt... 
OT Congratulations NY Yankees

AMP Upgrade for Martin Logan Aerius i setup
Look into a Primare i30. New they're around 2400,00, but usually go for around 1295.00 used. One just went off of here for 999.99 -the ad is still up. Like you I have pair of Aerius i's in a smallish 15X10 room. My amp setup is a little larger, bu... 
HDCD recommendations??
King Crimson, Starless and Bible Black. 
Fatigue reducing interconnect?
Tara Labs doesn't seem to get a lot of publicity on this site when it comes to recommendations for some reason, but my entire solid state system, and my tubed CJ EV-1 phono preamp is wired with Tara Labs RSC series cables - starting with their Mas... 
Audio Research Amp Shootout
How-bout a 90's Threshold T-200 against one of those nice ARC amps -like the 100.2 maybe?... or what ever?
