| Doge 8 with Berning ZH-270 I had the Doge 8 for a short while and remember it having very nice bass extension, but certainly not excessive in my (fairly large) room. A wonderful sounding pre amp by the way. I did have to move on due to excessive hissing with LOMC cartridges... | |

| Doge 8 Clarity Alx,Sounds like you got a real lemon. Glad to hear you got a full refund. I did hear from a few people that although the Clarity was better regarding hissing with LOMC carts, it was still an issue. I ended up passing. Thanks for all your responses. | |

| Tracking force and Unipivot tonearms I had the JMW9 sig but now the JMW10 which is very similar sounding. Very good luck with my Benz Ruby 3, Lyra Helicon and Sumiko Blackbird. Not so much Shelter cartridges. | |
| 2 tape decks- 1 tape monitor loop Thanks Al, and yes I did read your post. I didn't want to hijack that thread so reason for this one. OK, nuff said. I just ordered the Niles switch box. I can't take the risk of doing any damage to any of my components. Thanks guys! | |
| 2 tape decks- 1 tape monitor loop Thanks Newbee for that recommendation. Is there any advantage to going this route over using Y connectors on both tape in's and tape out's? Dangerous in any way? | |
