| Can anyone recommend a Phono Pre Amp? Yeah, before I bought the ARC, I was looking seriously at the K&K...the only problems are that there is almost nowhere to hear one or try one out, and in the end, it's in kit form, which defintely hurts its resale value, despite what people sa... | |
| Can anyone recommend a Phono Pre Amp? If you didn't edginess and lots of detail I would stay away from the JLTI. It is a very detailed and accurate phonostage with great pacing and drive as restock says, but it also has some harshness to it (almost like a digital glare) that ,in my op... | |

| Choices for Tube Integrated with 5 inputs? A friend was just considering the Pass X150...and then there's the Copland CTA 405...depends what your budget is..Luxman, Gamut..the choices go on and on | |
| How do you choose? depends on several factors - what preamp you are using, what speakers you are using, what size you room is, what type of music you listen to and how loud..etc, etc, etc!I would not really worry about the ratings until you have a plan as to what to... | |
| Gas or Charcoal weber with lump charcoal...but there are two kinds of lump - the fast burning and slow. the slow burning coals are really good for smoking. I smoked a lake trout for 3 1/2 hrs a couple weeks ago and added a handful of coals only once!And definitel... | |
| New music on vinyl I wonder what the minimum # of sales a company would need to do in order to make a vinyl pressing profitable? doesn't seem like too much - some of the most obscure modern pop/rock is released on vinyl, and can't have huge sales... | |
