| Tuning Rel G1 set it by ear for your room vs levels recommended by other people. G1 is a huge sub designed for large spaces, so 6 or 7 in an apartment might be all you can turn it up to. | |

| Zesto vs K & K phono stages surprised at Vortex comment. I own an original, not upgraded Zesto Andros and it is anything but noisy. I run it into 103db Avantgarde Duos, thru a GAT pre and Audiopax 30 monoblocks. This is an all tube system and I have to put my ear right next... | |

| Conrad Johnson TEA 2--step up transformer If it has a MM section, then try Bob's devices SUT. Depending on your cartridge impedance, you might want to try the SKY version. I use that with an Ortofon Anna into the MM section of a Zesto with very good results. | |
| Cary Rocket 88R F1 with the KEF LS 50 speakers. It wont work. I tried my v12i with set of Kef reference towers rated at 89db/4 ohm and got almost no volume at all.your Kefs will most likely need 100 minimum tube amps even with classical and jazz to get any kind of bass. | |
| Is a tube phono better than ss? My Zesto Andros AX7 tube phono is extremely quiet, very musical, and very detailed. A significant step up in detail and noise reduction from the $4000 solid state Tom Evans Groove I replaced.You can find these used now for around $3k. | |
| Tube preamp for SS amp My first tube preamp was a CJ 16ls 2 that I ran into a Mark Levinson 336 amp. It replaced a Krell SS KRC preamp and I was very happy with the sound - much smoother and more detailed.The 16LS 2 is a great choice if you can find one used, although i... | |

| WireWorld HDMI: Starlight 6 VS Island 6 I did run the Redmere from both the AVR to display and the oppo to display. AQ diamond was slightly better in both cases. colors were richer. AQ diamond was dramatically better between cable box and AVR.Redmere is great for the price, but AQ diamo... | |
| Esoteric versu Oppo 105? depends on the quality of recording. CD on the K01 is very very good. These are both very good players for their price points, but oppo at $1200 is not in same league as the k01 for $20k.that said, I would probably but the oppo for $1k vs a k07 fo... | |
| WireWorld HDMI: Starlight 6 VS Island 6 After running in the redmere 1m between the Oppo and AVR and redmere 2m between the Pioneer SC-79 AVR and my 70" Elite, I swapped out the redmere's for AQ diamond between the Oppo to AVR and AQ Diamond 2m between the AVR to Elite TV.Oppo Sound qua... | |
