Best phono-pre for mc-systems below $ 1.500,00 ?
I second the BAT VK-P5. Very musical. 
Amps for Dynaudio Audience 72?
I have a friend who loves the Odyssey Stratos with his Audience 82's. I have to admit, it does sound pretty damn good. 
Top Ten Interconnects of all time...
Pat,You cannibal!! What a blood thisty savage!What's next? Sushi???LOL,John 
Splicing on a HT to 2channel system, best approach
I'll second Mattkimb96's response. It depends on your music/HT listening is split and your bank account. I lean much more to music than HT, say a 90/10 split. I own Vienna Acoustics Strauss speakers with Haydn rears. I'm currently running with a p...

Pat,Nice choice of interconnects, but come on.....cook that burger a little longer. I prefer medium well.John

I don't think that Amperex white labels would be overkill. That's the great thing about tube equipment, you can make it sound better by changing the tubes. I have my BAT VK-P5 phono preamp loaded with Amperex 7308 PQ's (white label) and love it. I...

What SS Int Amp to match with Sonus Faber?
I'd recommend the Jeff Rowland Concentra. 
Threshold T2 Versus Mark Levinson 38S
I've owned both of those preamps, and IMHO the T2 was the easy winner. I thought the T2 was much more natural sounding than the 38S, and had better dynamics. I also had a Krell KRC-HR, which I thought was better than the ML 38S, but not as good as...

What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix?
Buddy Guy and Jimmy D. Lane. 
took my cover off my 'HW19
The cover is purely decorative. I had a similar problem, but found that putting a couple of washers on the posts, underneath the cover to act as spacers did the job.Regards,John

It's funny how we place priorities on different things. Alephman, on another thread (My SDS died), you claim you wish you could afford a SDS. I own an SDS, and wish I could afford a Graham 2.2 arm. I am currently using a JMW 10.5 arm, with my HW-1... 
shunyata hydra 2 vs. ps audio ultimate outlet
I own a PS Audio UOHC and a Shunyata Hydra 2. In my expeiences, the UOHC presents a slightly blacker background, while the Hydra 2 does a better job at not restraining dynamics. In your application, for subwoofers, high powered amps, etc, I'd reco...
