what's my problem?
NHT is crap but not type 4.triangle celius is the best match for unico as was demoed in many ces and dealer demo rooms. 
Want More Bass
Newbee, I want to add to your thought about low volume listening and the KEY point in this case turs the AMP and the AMP only. Less-likely speakers are not rated conservatively and I feel the case is that speakers now don't even rich 65Hz and star... 
Best CD with a muted horn?
Molvaer Nils Petter "Khmer" on ECM 
How do you get rid of loud crackling noise on Lps?
one more hint:i usually try to "upgrade" US records for german since german ones indeed as quiet as CDs and much superior sonically. certainly i pay more but trying to find a good online deals from there. 
Totem Forrest or Vandersteen 3A Sig?
Lodom,If you will get a chance to visit any CES arround just visit both rooms for Totems and Vandersteens and you'll realize how smaller gets bigger... 
How do you get rid of loud crackling noise on Lps?
I've got the best solution:Find the same one without loud crackling noise.I can say that now I've none such records and yes I did change for better ones(that I needed to have in my collection) and gave or sold or dumped the noisy ones elsewhere. I... 
2ch to 1ch... Stereo to Mono issues.
Don't tell me you wanna sell me your line3... ain't no budget for now for this "mono solution" even used!:-)Assume you've got a hell of a rig that you never introduced except SF-3 components here!Best of luckmara. 
2ch to 1ch... Stereo to Mono issues.
Kr4,I should've known the shunting case!I should've recalled Bryston preamps that have MUTE switch that basically switches the preamp to MONO thus reducing an output signal by 20dB simply by shunting whattafool!I guess I should use transformer to ... 
Totem Forrest or Vandersteen 3A Sig?
I'm the happy owner of Forrest and I did audition 3A. In fact I like them both but 3A is not great for near-field and requires much larger space than Forrest. Becides Forrest does not compromise in "size" of sound to 3A despite being quite small a... 
Sumiko BPS
$350 is the highest retail price on BPS. It could be acquired for much less brand new@$220. 
Want More Bass
Why did you switch to tubes?Do you like the rest of sound except bass quantity or the bass is your main consern?If that's the case you should get either sub or the speaker that goes deeper with bass and have higher efficiency.You may also vary som... 
What's under YOUR turntable?
I use 3/4" Walker Audio disks as a part from Valid Points under Michell Gyro SE. The motor is elevated with three 3/4" equal pieces of cork wine-bottle lid. 
Sumiko BPS
Wat's the point getting BPS with BROKEN stylus???I'd understand Koetsu Lyra or VDH but BPSSSSS??????Don't waste your time you can get much better one for the repair you're going to spend. 
Gear in
Albert,In fact I stated basing on Rcprince first responce as his amplifier has only the input stage powered no DC to the output stage during stand-by.Any sence running it 24/7 in that case on stand-by or I guess the best way to leave it COMPLETELY... 
Replacement cartridge?
Be optimistic since you can get much better cartridge for the value of BPS or even less! The best replacement and significant upgrade over BPS will be Dynavector 10x4 for nearly the same amount of BPS' MSRP or even less. If you catch some good dea...
