Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors
You may be happy with your CJ amps. It depends how big your room is, how loud you listen etc etc...I've also heard them with the Nagra MSA's (a pair), that's one nice little amp.I've never heard the BAT Rex amp...but used to own bat before and tha... 
What is the "correct" VTA for the Lyra Atlas?
when you say frequency span? what are you listening for ? how deep the bass and how extended the highs? I run SACD's and a Lyra Atlas...I do find the Atlas wonderfully musical, more so than my SACD's...however my SACDs go just as low and as high...

Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors
I"ve heard these Rockport Aviors extensively in Austin. Big congratulations, these are a FANTASTIC speaker and really makes one wonder why you ever need to spend more money. They do a few things my Wilson Maxx 3's don't do for 1/2 the price! The t...

Do I need an SUT w/ an EAR 868?
Hi I found a review on your EAR 868. It does indeed use transformers already in the phono stage. "...the linestage gain is 17dB, the phono gain a variable 50-80dB, and the output impedance a relatively low 600 ohms. The 868 doesn’t invert phase. A... 
Do I need an SUT w/ an EAR 868?
EAR makes some of the best phono SUT's on the planet. Not sure why you'd try anything else. In fact, your 868 may have a SUT already in the signal path which is what might be causing the hum... a sut connecting to a sut...I'm with Swampwalker, wha...
