| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes Foster, you are right about losing your shirt when selling a modded unit IF you paid to have the original mod done. If you buy it on the used market, you can get a steal, IMHO. I have a CDP that Chris did a $3K mod on and it sounds incredible. I s... | |

| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes BAT preamps have always had that dark/not dark debate for some reason, I can't really understand why though. I have had the VK-31SE, VK-50SE, VK-51SE, VK-3iXSE and VK-32SE in my system, and I would say that BAT preamps are on the darker side compa... | |

| Review: Verastarr Grand Illusion Series Power cord Greenink, yes the pricing structure is way off, however, in the cable/cord business, this seems to be the norm not the exception. Thanks for offering your impressions. One year later and I'm still using these GI cords. If you knew me you'd be shoc... | |

The latest fancy DAC chips aren't really necessary running 25 year old software standards, ju... | |
| LP Cleaning brush I use both the nylon brush that comes with the VPI 16.5 and the Disc Doctor - Miracle Record Brush. Seems to work well for me. I don't feel that the VPI brush does any harm to my vinyl.Cheers,John | |
| Top of the line old technology VS Newer technology This question has beeen asked many times before. Unfortunately for you, there is no right or wrong answer. However, you will get replys that would support both choices. FWIW, as a generalization, but not a rule, I tend to prefer the former over th... | |
| looking for interconnect under 200 dollars Macdadtexas is not being sarcastic, he is dead right!Fortunately, on the used market, a $2000 amp will cost you about $1200, but you'll only have to pay about $300 for that $1500 power cord. ;D |
