| Jazz for aficionados Any recommendations on a good pressing that doesn't break the bank for Dexter Gordon's Daddy Plays the Horns album? I don't see a lot of options outside of the original that seem to go for outrageous (according to my wallet) sums of money. Wou... | |

| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? I would research Ohm Speakers. They are designed to go up against a wall and come in three different sizes. They have been well reviewed. | |

| New to Vinyl. Need help on how to match components, cartridge, etc... Thank you, all. Much food for thought and your comments are very helpful. @millercarbon I have Bryston 7B3 amps which have a very low input impedance (7.5k unbalanced / 5k balanced) so I stuck with a Bryston Premp which has an output impedance ... | |

I played around with positioning for about a month and landed on 32" from the front wall (measured from the tip of the foot closest to the wall). Any further and the ba... | |
| Upgrade preamp? Anyone have any experience pairing McIntosh preamps with Bryston amps? Deciding between a C47 or sticking with Bryston and going with their BP26 preamp with external power supply. | |
| Upgrade preamp? Thank you jjss49. The Conrad Johnson looks like an interesting option. Funny you mention the Herron as I was looking at one yesterday. I've never heard one and the lack of reviews makes me a tad nervous. @georghifi, i read that you want to hav... |
