The one time I heard them at Capital audiofest a couple years back was brief and teh setup far from optimal. WHereas I spent a good half hour or so listening to the Cathedrals and ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I'm very tempted to try that amp with my Triangle Titus XS monitors. IF my wife would have it in her sunroom that is. It's a modern Victorian style house and she loves retro, so maybe. | |

Different look but a fantastic value at the time for what you got I thought and the sound was one of the best... | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 It may have been covered earlier but was the rating and description of the amp on agon when you bought it consistent with your findings since? If not, it would seem to memaybe you have a case with the seller to either return or seek financial comp... | |
| Stylus cleaner magic eraser does not sound like a good idea off the cuff, but have never tried. Potential to damage stylus? Does it really work to dip? No residue from the ME itself?My wife loves them and uses them for everything though. | |
