| matching pre for Dynaco mk4 monoblocks The Kenwood C-1 would be a good match, especially at that price! I have one in my collection. An excellent sounding preamp competitive with today's four-figure gear! | |
| As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest The JVC DVD player sits on three 2" maple cubes atop a BEL 1001 amp which in turn sits on three 1" maple cubes atop a Sumo Andromeda amp. I like to use wooden cubes between components. | |

| Pictures at an Exhibition The Reiner/CSO is possibly the best recording of the orchestral version. Lewis Layton recording engineer for this and other Reiner/CSO's. I have the RCA .5 Series half-speed remaster made from the analog tapes. | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition I have both! I don't like London squeezing all of Pictures on one side of the LP for both the orchestra and solo piano, each on a side. Dynamic range and bass have to be cut! | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition Horowitz! | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice @noromance +1! Quads rule! I have two pairs and a pair of Futterman OTL amps. | |
