Thank you for the replies. It seems they do honor warranty, and seem reputable. They sell Helicons for $400 less than anyone else.Any bad expriences out there?

Naming your child after Audio equipment?
Cary would work for a boy or a girl. Rogue might not go over so well. 
Sonic Frontiers Line 2 Tube Position
I'm surprised you had to change out the Valvos. Tubes last many thousands of hours in these preamps. Did you test them? If not, don't throw them out. BTW I run Amperex 7308 in the LV1/V1 positions, and the Valvos in the other. I just want to add ... 
New scam on the internet????
Thanks for the tip. 
Can Prairie Wind be bought as cd only?
Sorry, I just saw that you can buy the cd only. They just don't offer it that way where I buy music.

I have been to the Snell hompage and can't get the links to work. Is there something wrong with their website? 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
I had the Aniversary Ringmat on my P25 and liked the results. Improved definition and bass. I did not like it on my Spacedeck. 
Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas?
Charliee, What electronics are you using? I think the "grain" you heard from your 2.5's was from somewhere else in your system. The Proac is a more revealing speaker than the Totem. 
Stepping up from Rega 25 - suggest used turntable?
I had a Rega 25 for two years, then went to a Nottingham Spacedeck with Spacearm. It was a huge upgrade. The Rega could not carry the full "weight" of a performance the way the Spacedeck does. 
any good turntables with repeat function
It is not a good feature to have. Playing a record twice in a row can damage it. Records viewed under a microscope after play show the heat of the stylus changes the shape of the grooves. They come back to shape in 24 to 48 hours.
