| Considering doing Chinese I know audiophiles will buy equipment made anywhere in the world as long as it is well built and well priced. Jwong Not exactly Jwong. Many will not support the Communist regime in China for political reasons. Here is a recent link that may give y... | |

| Vinyl records grading scale 02-26-07: ElizabetheBay code:Mint: Still in it's original wrapper. (has plenty of mould, water stains, and the entire cover lays flat like a soup-bowl. But the guy who found it in a Salvation Army for $0.05 thinks it has never been played...Near m... | |
| Different CD Player Well the Marantz and Meridian players are a different direction from the Cary sound. IMHO, it would be a upgrade, but some may disagree. The Cary is more neutral and transparent, while the Marantz/Meridian will be richer tonally and more musical. ... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp USA or Europe 02-26-07: RushbattleI love my SLI-80 but the going used price is about 1800 rather than 1500. It is quite powerful for a tubed integrated so it can drive more speakers than other tubed integrateds.You own a SLI-80 Signature, which may cost $1800 u... | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp USA or Europe Nate,I know a gent who went from a VAC Avatar Super to a PrimaLuna ProLogue Two and was quite happy, though I've never heard one myself. You could always try a Rogue Audio from Pennsylvania. There's also a Audiomat Solfege from France.Then there ... | |

Price range?Throw me a freaking bone here.......You could grab a Cary SLI-80 for around $1500 used.If you're looking for less power/money, how about a Manley Stingray, AR... | |
| MAC Palladium IC's-Follow up, are they really..... I'm not calling your equipment crap, what I was suggesting is that you talk about your equipment on other threads.

| Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system That's more like it. You can help the burn in process by leaving all equipment powered up 24/7, and even leave the system playing with a disc on repeat. I'm burning in a new preamp now. I just have the Ayre/Cardas disc on repeat when I'm not liste... | |
| Threshold T2 vs. Bryston SP26 vs. Plinius M8 Yeah, the T2 is one of the best SS preamps I've heard period, and I've heard quite a few. However, I tend to prefer tube preamps and more musical SS units. The Plinius is similar to the Threshold in that it has rich harmonics and musicality. Howev... | |
| Threshold T2 vs. Bryston SP26 vs. Plinius M8 Of thouse three I would choose the Threshold. However, given your desire for transparency and dynamics over warmth, I would recommend the Bryston.John | |

| MAC Palladium IC's-Follow up, are they really..... Well if that's the case Ger546, I apologize, and welcome to Audiogon. I do suggest that you expand your audio interests outside of just one cable though. Talk about cd players, amps, heck even music. That is how we get to know each other and one's... | |
