| Cables that make no sense... Kirk930 I do not have to go to Radio Shack -- instead I can go to Sam-Ash Music and get pro RCA or balanced cables, change connnectors to the quality gold plated (Cadras or Ausioquest) and It'll sing! I'll be in $40 range for a single pair.Audioqu... | |
| Is there anyone who came back from tubes to SS? To answer to Steveaudio,I am using an ultimate custom built dual-mono DACT preamplifier that have both: active and passive sections for each channel, stepped volume attenuators for each channel.

| Integrateds-Krell or Plinius? Krell brand is #1 sponsor of Stereofile and whatever model they will make it will receive a positive review there.Plinius 8200 I think, does not need any "Stereofile favors" it's just an excellent amp and I'm sure it can drive any speakers includi... | |
| Anyone under 30? Hey old folks! Do Ya think that no under 30 goes to the live performances???Do Ya think that WE do not aim for better sound listening to 2" computer speakers??? As for me such thing as going to the symphony hall is pretty rare, but I do often atte... | |
| will a ps audio 600 power a krell kav 250 and ead tm 500? PS line is great for source components. power amplifier will not get enough power and will lack dynamics. the best power tweak for power amp is dedicated wall socket. | |

| Are there any good cartridges for under 100 Or you can even try Goldring MM cartridges start from $40 but to tell you the truth, I cannot still say that there are good cartridges under $100 in general. You can try Rega Bias for $125 listing. | |

| Favorite Tube Amps, Reasonably Priced Cary 805 is one of my favorite amps and they will amaze you with Virgos! If you're in NJ or close you can go to Audioconnection in Verona to listen to them in that setup or just simply go to www.audioconnect.com and ask a quote on new or used model. | |

Unbalanced though will certainly have greater transparency and details but more hum if you'll go for the long run. I would not advise to use long runs of RCA cables with... | |
| Good Reasonably Priced Seperate Phono Stage?? I'm not sure what cartridge you're about to use. There is a chance that you might come to the conclusion that Sumiko phono MM/MC box can do the same for your cartridge as Lehman Black Cube in particular. I believe that DACT pnono module that you c... | |
