Michigan - Any Interest?
I responded a couple months ago also. It appears that there are several interested, but it apears a ringleader is needed to actually organize something and take the next step. Any volunteers? I live in Hemlock and would be interested in getting to...

Phone Preamp help for VPI Scout w Grado Sonota MM
I picked up a used Graham Slee Era Gold V. I am happy with the sound, still am curious at some point to try a tubed unit. Anyone else with feedback on their findings with associated equipment please let me know your thoughts. For now I am very muc... 
Phone Preamp help for VPI Scout w Grado Sonota MM
I live in a fairly remote area so I don't have an opportunity to try alot. I did just buy a used GSP Era Gold V to try (should have it next week along with the speakers). I am hoping to try something with tubes also for a comparison and then sell ...

I went to the HIFICRITIC website but couldn't find the article. Do you have the link. I would be interested to read it.

Thanks for the feedback. Waiting and saving a little more for my budget is always an option if that makes sense. What would you say were the differences you heard in the arc ph-5, era gold, and ear with the Scout/Dyna combo? 
Is Digital actually better than Analog?
Musicaudio, Coming from a recent vinyl convert here is my limited opinion. I recently purchased a vinyl rig which cost total (cartridge, phono pre, and table/arm) less than half of what my digital rig (marantz SA-14) cost. Not that it necessarily ... 
Recommended Cables for JMLab 937be speakers
Ahfman, Thanks, have you heard different manufacturers cables on the 927e's as a comparison or just the audioquest line? I have not personally tried any of the audioquest products. 
Recommended Cables for JMLab 937be speakers
I have that one but forgot about it. I will have to dig it up and see what they used although they probably use the same "reference cables" whenever they test equipment so it may not necessarily be what they thought would be a good match. I have s... 
Michigan - Any Interest?
Hi, I see there haven't been any post in a while to this thread. Just wondering if there is still an established audio club/group in the mid-Michigan area. I live near Saginaw. 
Rogue 66 magnum tube rolling???
I also have the Sunfire TGII and am considering a seperate 2 channel pre with HT pass through. Can you please describe the differences you have found between the Sunfire direct and using the Rogue? Thanks 
Preamp with HT pass & Phono to match Pass x-250
Docsavage, I am not familiar with the Supratek line at all. Is there a particular model that fits the features and the price range that I am looking for? Also, have you heard the Supratek with the Pass amp? If not can you please expand upon your r... 
Preamp with HT pass & Phono to match Pass x-250
Also forgot to mention my newest addition to my setup which are still breaking in, but I am using JMLabs 937be speakers. I should probably also add the VTL 2.5 and Cary SL98P to my short list as they both have the features I am looking for and are... 
Help with Denon 2900/5900 or MarantzDV8400 or ?
Socrates... There is some price difference between the DV8400 and the DVD2900, I think about $500. What if I was to take that $500 and put it towards a used DAC? Was the redbook performance the only thing lacking in your comparison of the marantz/... 
Help with Denon 2900/5900 or MarantzDV8400 or ?
Eldartford... You said you don't hear a need to upgrade. What have you traditionally listened to for redbook CDs in the past. In other words how would you specifically rate or compare the 2900 to other units you have listened to? I am really hopin...
