Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome
Let me add my thoughts as well. Having taken delivery of the 9.0SE and now having just under 150 hrs.on it. Cryo'd Tung Sols on board that replaced the JAN Philips 5687's.... I am AMAZED at what an excellent pre amp this is. My system has taken on... 
Music Your Wife Will Really LISTEN To with you ?
Eva Cassidy's Songbird, soundtracks from: "Love Actually" or "I am Sam" and "Sleepless in Seattle"....Thats it! 
tube amps or amps between $1000 and $2000
I love my Cary CAD-50M MkII monoblocks..Pentode or Triode... 4/8 ohm tap switch. KT-88 based, so tubes are reliable and easy to obtain. Superb sounding amps for about $1200-1300 pair going rate on the GoN. They dont come around too often however. 
Buyer Beware of Late Part 2
Watch out...I spotted another one with a Krell FPB-600 amp for $1500. "0" feedback..with Pics! 
I need a Tonearm opinion... Please
Steve,SdCampbell is spot on IMO. You would have to move up the food chain conciderably to best your 900.Even though materials may be the same, the improvements in casting alloys and use of resonance materials has improved greatly. Carbon Fiber was... 
Buyer Beware of Late Part 2
Nice Job..just curious..I would guess that none of these guys ever posted what you would concider a real picture of any of the equipment..or did they?..Im sure they could find other pics to lift, but that would give them away even quicker if someo... 
How should I ship these babies?
Warren,I like ABF freight. Do a google search and see the web site..you can then see the location with phone no. nearest to you. If you can get them to the dock...they will palette and wrap them together. They are pretty reasonable for cost too, b... 
Shouldn't amp reviews employ multiple speakers?
Yup!..In the same way that reviewers use different amps for a particular speaker..the same should be true of speakers under review employing a variety of amps.. 
9", 10" or 12" tonearm?
Cost is one factor...but Tangenital arms or linear tracking arms have their own set of problems. It is very difficult and expensive to get a linear tracking arm to be completely "friction" free which is one of the prinicple advantages of these arm...

Roger,Sorry to be one of the hi-Jackers on your thread. My apologies if that was the case. Keep in mind though, that sometimes you can pick up some valuable info in these discussions, even if it seems irrelevant to your current question. In fact I... 
Where Can I go From an LP-12/Ittok LV II/Lingo
Im not a Linn owner, but know the table to some degree. If your Lingo'd you have a very good table already for sure. You would step up the performance significantly with a Naim Aro or Ekos. Dont know your current cart..but carts are plentiful and ... 
JWM10 with TNT Cartridge help PLEASE
Jeff,I would tend to agree with you on that single number of dynamic compliance as being perhaps a broad generalization or simplification in absolute terms as the only issue of compatability. But, certainly not one to be ignored as you stated prev... 
JWM10 with TNT Cartridge help PLEASE
Hi Jeff, Its true that system matching involves more than cart/ tonearm matching..poor sound can result from any one or combo of factors such as not having a level platform which is so very important with the VPI JMW or any unipivot more so than g...
