Any tube subwoofers out there?
I agree with both of Rwwear"s posts, especially the part about using a crossover on the main speakers, they should be used full range for the best sound as Rwwear says. Usually tubes just don't do it for typical subs but of course there are except...

Best Cd Player under $100,000
Trelja, Ellerys offer sounds more than fair, especially if we are are talking about the 1.13 version which most posters agree is much better than the later 1.14 version, and it's a breath mint! The only thing i can't go along with is the use of 1/... 
Need help with finding a new phono stage.
Why not try some Trannies, no not that kind, step up transformers, I have the Lundahl step up trans. kit($250., nice 4 price)), but think the Bent Audio MU dual mono trannies are the ultimate especially for $825. Continuous cast copper wound trann...

Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
Hi Nick, I have a Planet 2000, and also thought it was a little bit lacking. After reading the planet2k review on ETM, where the reviewer raved over the Nirvana SL ics with the Rega, i tried them and Wadia know, he was right. An $800. cable on a $...
