CARY 303/200 CD PLAYER
I have to agree with Advent11, if you have all that gear why not just hook it up and listen. That being said I also used to own the 303/200 and it's a very nice cd player. I see no reason for you to not like it, and since the rest of your gear loo... 
Do I need a phono amp if I own an integrated amp?
Tstyes,Looking at your system you appear to already own a Linn LP12 Sondek turntable. Also you're running seperates rather than an integrated, does your Kollector preamp have a phono input? If not then how are you running your turntable? Given the... 
Atmasphere preamps
Guys, Fjn04 said in his post that he's been on their website and read the reviews. I think he's looking for actual user feedback which I think is perfectly legit. I don't have any to offer but I'm sure others do, so good luck. 
Pre amp for VTL450's and Wadia 9
You could try a Herron VTSP-1a in that price range. I have one and love it! Good luck! 
Sonic Frontier Line 1 needs service
Try contacting Tom Tutay,at 850-244-3041. He does upgrades and repairs on all kinds of tube gear and he's in Florida. He's super reliable, in fact he's the East Coast repair center for Air Tight. Good luck! 
$8,000 budget--Need help
Wow, your room is nearly double the size of my condo! Filling a space that large is going to be a tall order, especially at that total budget. Perhaps you should look at an efficient and relatively inexpensive speaker line such as Klipsch. Then bu... 
IC's between Power Amp and Pre Amp
I own and love Nordost Red Dawn. Whatever you decide on I strongly suggest you buy used, that way if you're not happy with your first choice you can resell it at your purchase price and try again, over and over until you're happy. Good luck! 
What new music did you get for Christmas?
The new "rediscovered" Monk and Coltrane at Carnegie Hall. Great sound and great music! 
best time/worst time to sell equipment
The best is early fall and the spring, the worst is summer. However all it takes is one buyer and I've had success all times of the year. 
Where are you from this Christmas..
Happy Holidays from wet and dreary Washington, DC! 
Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing
Larryparka if you don't "care" please don't contribute to the thread. And try not to be so rude. 
Merry Christmas Everyone
Um, what Audiobugged said! Really happy everything to all of my Audiogon brothers and sisters! 
Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing
You have to crank the volume because you're running a MC cartridge into a MM phono input and you don't have enough gain! Get a MC phono stage, borrow one if you have to, and see how much better it sounds. Beyond that it's likely that cd's will sou... 
Help troubleshooting amp
Jim,I know what you mean! Slight change though, it was $212, still a great deal, but they're still waiting for a new fuse that they had to order over the web, so I won't get the amp until next week sometime. Nonethless I'm excited, especially sinc... 
Nakamichi Cassette Decks
I agree that Naks rule, but as mentioned above Teac and Tandberg, especially Tandberg, made some really sweet decks. If you're going to get a Nak get something older, the newer decks were still nice, but they didn't have that "magic" sound quality...
