| Anyone using a Mytek Brooklyn or Manhattan (I or II) DAC as a preamplifier? I go straight into my Triode Corporation TRX-M845 Monoblocks and love it. I will consider the Manhattan II when it's available. | |
| LAMM2.1 with Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Speakers I've heard the Yorkminster, Canterbury, Westminster, and Kingdom Royals in my own home for extended periods of time, all with the Lamm ML2.1 amps and they all sounded great. It's a very good match. | |
| EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT? Lewm, Thanks! I realize what you say is excellent advice. I was just hoping to gain some knowledge from folks about why they were making the decisions they were making and what they learned from doing so | |

| avantgarde UNO nano seeking a matching amp After trying many, many amps and preamps with my Unos I followed the advice of three people who said to try the Tom Evans Linear A amp and his Pulse/Vibe preamp and now I could not be happier. Read Jeff Day's review of the Evans' gear on 6moons. H... | |
| The passing of Marianne Barber of Joule Electra I met Jud and Marianne several years ago and became known as one of the "California Guys". Every time I have spent with Jud and Marianne has been one of great love and generosity on their part toward everyone around them. My sympathy goes out to t... |
