| Tube Preamp, Amp or Int for holographic imaging? switching to a tube phone pre might well move you in the direction you seek, and a tube amp (and preamp) would also probably help. IME, the EAR 834P sounds pleasant, but turns everything to mud, and more or less requires expensive NOS tubes to sou... | |
| Amp Power Conditioner or not? Even though they helped in various ways, I gave up on the isolation transformers I was using; hum was too loud in my small room. | |
| Comparing ARC, Lamm and Modwright Preamps Rrulack, I had the impression it had dual volume controls, one for each channel, and no remote. In other words, not only do you have to get up, getting the volume right requires diddling with two separate controls. A purist approach, but not for e... | |

| My ears of tin are over 50 An absurd thing to say. | |
| Fleetwood Mac Best band ever? You can not be serious. loomisjohnson above id'd their best stuff. You might like the Buckingham/Nicks album those two made before joining. | |

Plus, once you factor in the cost of pleasing the master of the house after you've bought it... a new car or kitchen or whatever cou... | |
| Most improved last 10yrs: Speaker, amp, or pre? cartridges seem to have experienced the largest proportionate cost increases. I wouldn't say amps have improved much. | |
| My New Manely Steelhead despite its low output, the Statement is not like a moving coil, and is incompatible with mc transformers such as those in the Steelhead. The PH3 and the Steelhead have almost enough gain (without engaging the mc transformers, in the case of the S... | |

| tonearm upgrade, how far up the food chain? Thanks so much for the thoughtful comments. I am largely persuaded that upgrading the arm should be a priority, and probably the phono stage, too (which I suspected.) Unfortunately, the Thorens is not the best platform to "build on", as it is limi... | |
| tonearm upgrade, how far up the food chain? it looks like I am already in the ballpark of the percentages referenced by Nickt. Phono stage is an AR PH3-SE modified by GNSC, which is not bad. Upgraded from an EAR 834P, which was a tremendous improvement. |
