I need more Funk
I dig on some very serious funk. Check out Praxis "Transmutation" a wierd blend of funko-punko-metallo-jazz-o-delic fusion on axiom label. This CD is excellently recorded on the small private studio.If you won't like it from the first time, second... 
Bi amping with Tube and Solid State
If you ask Linn they will stand for product against removing built-in crossover and they're partially right. On the other hand passive bi-amplification of even perfectly matched amps can drive system out of tonal balance. Volume control in your Ma...

Stanley Clark Bassic Collection. 
Problem with preamp..need direction.
david,try to replace volume pot for the alps japanese attenuator. it's affordable and will most-likely get rid of your problem along with valuable upgrade of your preamp. 
Signal degration over length, source vs. output ?
speaking of 8...10' you loose almost nothing with longer speaker cables. 
Problem with preamp..need direction.
Is it volume pot or attenuator?Typical problem for volume pots indeed. 
Fun with audio
Just read above the post with BAT noise problem.I'd suggest to decrease amount of peas and coca-cola consumed... 
Signal degration over length, source vs. output ?
Generally longer speaker wires are better than longer interconnects. What distances we're talking about? Where is your stand and where is your speakers?

I've never seen such an expencive diamond toothpick as Lyra Helikon but surely comfortable to hold! OOPS diamond tip got stock in my tooth-hole!!! 
How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?
Folks who say to get CDs are partially right.It's realy easy to built a nice sounding system arround CD-player where you can use pocket one with line-out connected to the Grado Headphone system and it will sound nice and this is where you can't do... 
Most "Non-Digital" Sounding CDP
The most of dissapointment of so-called the most analogue device may come after looking-up inside the box finding simple cheap DAC-chips(can't be expencive by default as generic production units) and CD-Rom drive unit. The analogue domain after-D... 
upgrading Rogue 88 vs monoblocks
As far as I heard, Magnumizing may rise reliability issues. 
mmf-5 arm adjustment
That's the trouble with MMF. You realy can't.If Regas can go away with arm-spacers(to increase VTA), for MMF can't tell you if it will work.To decrease VTA you can use plastic spacers between cartridge and armshell thus playing between margins of ... 
Modifying BAT VK-60s
Belden is a good wiring. I'm not familiar with capacitors inside BAT amps but "nothing special" to the coupling caps shouldn't realy mean you need to replace them. As to AudioNote caps you can find much cheaper solution but for now if I were satis... 
Anyone use a Belles 150A to drive a difficult load
I used it as loaner with Vandy 1C. Couldn't stand it for more than 10min. The absence of tonal balance everytime present in Belles will not certainly provide timbral accuracy. As to bass it's so shallow that many tube amps of half-power will do it...
