CD player Vs Pre-amp
I just bought a Cairn Fog 2 And It has made me happy. It has variable volume and RCA or Balanced inputs. Check out the review, http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/cairn/fog.html The price is listed at $1695 but ask for a better price.Kevyo 
Martin Logan - wow
I owned a pair of Martin Logan SL-3 speakers for 2 1/2 years and I sold them because of the lacking of bass. When I first heard them in the showroom I also fell in love with the midrange. There was so many times that I had to check to see if the w... 
Mark Knopfler's Ragpickers Dream-heard it?
I agree With RD that this album has not made me want to buy it. Still my favorite is Love over Gold. I still get chills listening to Telegraph road with Mark's guitar work. 
Classe CP-45 vs. CP-47.5 vs. CP-35
A couple of years ago I asked the same question . I had the CP-35 pre-amp and I wanted to upgrade to the 47.5. The salesman told me that the difference would not be worth the money and suggested to go to a tube pre-amp. I have not looked back. I n... 
suggestion for amp to go with B&W N803
I was trying out the Belles 350 Amplifier at a store and the Salesman was playing the Amp with the 803's. I thought that the apeakers sounded nice.kevyo 
Beth Orton's "Trailor Park" ain't too bad
I am a big fan of her and my personal favorite album is Central Reservation. Also her most recent album which is Daybreaker is a fine album. Beth Orton's voice has a magic to it and more people should know her. 
artists who most deeply touch you
I will agree with Creeper on Aimee Mann. Her last two CD's were stunning. I also love the voice of Beth Orton and the band R.E.M which has been one of my favorites since the 80's. Listen to Out of Time or UP by R.E.MKevyo 
Looking for Silent Fan Cooling f my ARC Tube AMP

Curing ground loop hum with a power conditioner ?
I also had the same problem with the 60hz hum and the Monster Power Conditioner that I used got rid of the hum. I did not want to spend a lot of money and some cheaper power conditioners didn't work. The monster power conditioner did a great job 
Tube pre-amp for Bryston 4BST?
Hello,I was using The VAC Standard Preamplifier and also the Audio Research Reference 1 Preamplifier. The Reference 1 did a nicer job but I changed the Bryston amp to the Audio Research Vt 100 MK II. That made the nicest difference. The Bryston ha...

Will ARC VT-100 Mk. II drive ProAc 3.8's.
That is what I am using and I am truly happy with the combination. I was using a Bryston 4B-ST that is rated 250 watts at 8 ohms. I don't miss the extra power that the bryston had. What I gain was a smoother amplifier that does wonders with vocals... 
Tube pre amp with 2 outputs for Biamping
Audio Research Reference 1 has two outputs and I would think that the reference 2 also does.Kevin
