| Dream/upgrade list: rogue ares I have a Rogue audio Pharaoh integrated amp with built in MM/MC phono stage. It is a good phono stage, but the Schiit Mani out performs it. Can't comment on the Rogue stand alone phono pre, as I have not heard it. | |
| Schiit not shipping I just ordered a Schiit Mani phono preamp this past Monday. Got confirmation that it was shipped out Tues. and It should be at my doorstep This Saturday. If all goes the way Schiit says it will, I have no complaints. | |
| Seeking tube amp advice Nothing wrong with the extra juice. You can do more damage with a under powered amp than with one that is higher powered. Extra current delivery equals more dynamic headroom. | |

| Need tips to better my sound Go with the Bluesound Node 2i. Amazing performance for the price. | |
| MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side Jaglag,Just my 2 cents worth, but don't get caught up in the type of tip the diamond stylus has. Over many many years I have had just about every type of stylus tip imaginable, and it always turned out to be inconclusive as to which was better. Th... | |
| MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side Chakster,I too, am a little bewildered by your opinion of Nagaoka. I am experienced with the Stanton 881S. Used one on my turntable for a couple of years. Wasn't a bad cartridge but that was back in 1977. Yes, it had the Stereohedron tip, but I fa... | |
| MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side The Nagaoka line of cartridges are absolutely killer. I have the MP-200. Paid $385 for it. It bested Ortofon carts at twice the price in shootouts. | |
| Two subs or not two subs... If you can make it work with two different subs, go for it. | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? A pair of Altec Valencia's. Home version of the VOTT. Man, could those things rock! On my 22nd. birthday I had my pair behind my house facing a lake. Had all my friends over, with two lovely ladies. One in each arm and a cold draft beer in front o... |
