| Why so many Benz Rubys for sale? To me, the VdH cartridges are touch analytical. The Ruby's are good cartridges in the $1200 range, of course they charge more than that for them. Heck even the lowly Grado Sonato outpoints the Benz Glider in the Stereophool book.There are some nic... | |
| Cost efficient phono preamp recommendation The Lancelot is based on the DACT module available in Europe if you hunt for 400USD, add a nice power supply and your there, for about 450 bucks, and with a good filter section in the power supply and a bit more heft, you can out do the Lancelot, ... | |
| Bryston 7B ST - Sounds anaemic. Any help? You can wire a resistor from the caps to gound to discharge the caps more quickly if you like. It is my less than humble opinion that you end up with two choices:1) Discharge the caps, which produces heat the whole time the amp is on.2) Add a rela... | |
| Bryston 7B ST - Sounds anaemic. Any help? 1) Have the unit checked, even the best lets a little quality issue slip out from time to time.2) However, a bigger, higher current amp gets a lot tighter grip on the woofs, and may have just corrected the looser boom sound your used to. As such i... | |

| MFSL Stones LP sonics????? If your buying this album for sonics, fgadaboutit, if your after the collector value, well maybe, but it seems a tad high to me. | |
| Good speakers in the sub-$1K range <> Try a pair of AR H312,310,308, which can be mail ordered for 669, 459, and 336/pair. Find some place and listen to them, their efficient and in my opinion real bargains/ not too sweet, and not offensive, they just might do the trick. Loo... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce and bass performance <> First the Adcom is a competent amp but not the most bass robust. Might try looking for a used Bryston 4b for about $1K. For a free fix start by moving them back towards the wall. If still not satisified, try a corner placement. Carefull ... | |
