Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing
+1 for the Audio-GD HE1-XLR.....I own one and it's a 10K tubed preamp in a 4K package. You can't beat it for the $$. It's a monster w/ 10 tubes and it's own Regenerative Power Supply.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@puptent...Yes, Michael Nesmith did Great solo work...very ingenious stuff. My new REGA P8 w/ Apheta 3 cart is unbelievably musical....last night a three hour listening session was one of the best I've ever had. Rich @ Signature Sound in Liverpool... 
Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with?
BELLES....can't beat them for Sweetness.

Bottom Line : The people on this forum that own the X-3’s love them....The people that don’t own them are the ones that are trashing them. Buy a pair you cheapskates...listen to them....put 500 hrs. on them...Then if you bash them , you Might Have...

I just wish the Harbeth at 2X the price , didn't look like somebody's DIY speaker project from the 70's..The X-3's are science fiction worthy baby!

@kennymac..............I totally agree with your posts...You Make Sense.  The X-3 have to get off the ground. Iso Acoustics or The new Axxses  Isolation pads w/ titanium rollers change the sound noticeably for the better......Some tweaks work real... 
Is Rega the easiest turntable to set up....
Wow...You guys are giving me a lot to think about...I really appreciate everyone's input.
