| Best Tannoy speakers with $4000 Budget I owned a Pathos TT and loved it but found it to be very speaker dependent. Make sure you can audition whatever you decide to buy WITH the Pathos before committing. | |

| Why hasnt yamamoto A-o11 gotten more love? I don't think they are widely distributed in the USA ... being handmade components, I would guess the # of them even worldwide is fairly low | |
| Why don't any good CD players resume play? I did not think even mass market players held their place if you turn the power off ... could be wrong though! I know my CHEAP Colby (Walmart) DVD player will restart IF I only press STOP 1x ... any more thasn that and you are back at the beginning | |

| Moderate Priced Integrated Amp A Bryston B60 or B60R (the remote model) would fit the bill ... even an older unit would still carry warranty coverage. Bryston amps are well known for neutrality (some would say too much so) which befits there professional or studio heritage.good... | |

I saw and responded to your post on AC withdrawing your Viva amp for sale ... I think you made the right decision :)any opinion on a triode wired ... | |
| Parallel Triode amps vs Triode wired pentode amps Atmasphere ... thanks for your response. I am well aware that pentodes wired as triodes are NOT the same as a true triode tube but how close do they come?? seems MANY listeners with amps that have the ability to switch from ultra-linear operation ... | |
| Underappreciated components. Judging by the used prices I would say Alon I thru V speakers ... very open sounding speakers with excellent bass extension | |
| best speaker wire for buck Cardas Twinlink is a great cable if you require long runs (usually needed for HT installs) ... fairly flexible and relatively inexpensive | |
