Anyone try the new Parasound Phono Stage?
Anyone try this model yet? 
How a turntable is like a gym membership
The real question here is: why is this thread in the amps/preamp forum? 
Music Direct's In the Groove record cleaner
I received mine today and have tried it on two old LPs. It's a bit of work to roll it since it's very tacky. LPs certainly look clean afterwards. I just don't know if it leaves residue yet. I wanted to use it not much for cleaning but to remove du... 
the clue by Sjofn HiFi at RMAF
My friend and I thought they were a joke. We were out of that room in less than a minute. We just didn't get why anyone would want to listen to these. 
Vandersteen Model 7 in large room with power music
One speaker that you should probably consider for classical music is the Nola Metro. I heard this at RMAF and was blown away with how well it did on classical music, but you need a large room for it in my opinion. It is also cheaper than the Vandy... 
Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you?
Ckoffend,Very well written and interesting post.I'm wondering if you heard the same issues with Spectron? 
New Wilson Sasha VS Wilson Audio Sophia 2
Yup, I heard them too. Very nice! 
Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard?
Hmm, I do wonder if these speakers are up to playing rock at 95db, or big orchestral works.I'm at RMAF and will be checking out the Vandy 7's (for my second time tomorrow); I wonder if I can convince them to play something less intimate. 
New Wilson Sasha VS Wilson Audio Sophia 2
I went from the Sophia 2s to the Sashas and I'm still trying to find amps that can drive them so I tend to agree with Ricred1.

Nice selections, Dan. 
High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older
I also have tinnitis and happened to play some test tones yesterday to learn that while I can hear a 10k tone loud and clear, I near nothing at 12.5k (the next available test tone). This caused some amount of panic - what am I missing out on on, e... 
Pass Labs Xono vs. Aesthetix Rhea
I have owned the Rhea and auditioned a recent Pass phono (XP15 I think).I found the Pass very detailed but tonally thin and sterile. electric guitars were just wrong.The Rhea was pleasant, on the warm side, but a little noisy. 
Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard?
I wonder if these speakers would sound good with solid state electronics. 
pass labs xa100.5 or pilinius sa 103
Don't know about the Pass x350.5 but I would take Spectron (with the upgrades) over the XA100.5 (I own both), but again, it's subjective, all amps mentioned int his thread are very good.

Where did you get yours?
