| I need help with my Equipment addiction I was good for 3 weeks, but I just bought some new tubes for the output stage of my preamp (the Pope Hollands I wanted are no longer available, Darn it!!), and a new sub cable for my Rel. I think I'm like an addict that has been off the stuff for ... | |
| I need SS muscle The Cary CAD 500 MB's as stated above, or the Sanders Sound ESL amp(s), Bryston 14b sst (or the 7B sst if you want mono's), for supreme power go to the Bryston 28B sst. | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? I saw them at CES and they did sound wonderful. But, they had about the best upstream gear I have ever seen driving them, so I couldn't really say if they were 3X (which is the cost difference) better than the 5a's which are stellar.The best thing... | |

| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar I think you are getting some pretty consistant, and good advice here, before you change out the disc player, check into a new amp.First of all, I will admit that the best speakers I have heard for Rock music are not Maggies, that would be Klipscho... | |
| processor that could serve as a good preamp The Cary 11 is stellar, as are the Anthem's, especially the D series. Used the Parasound C1 and C2 are great if you don't really want or need HDMI, although they do have a cool add on for that.The McIntosh processors sound stellar too.There's real... | |

| Record cleaning fluids: Torumat I'm sure that I am in the minority here, but I don't find the Walker fluids any better than the MoFi ones. It really seems the process more than the fluids.Steaming really works the best for me. | |
