A CD recorder for archiving LP's?

DSOTM Shootout Idea: Any Interest?
Like the songs says: "You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today."I just got a copy of the Japanese Pro Use series of DSOTM, so I think I have enough copies to give a fairly comprehensive review. My methodology will be as follo...

Who is using a tube preamp with your Pass X-250???
I'm using a Cary SLP 88 with my X250 and I like the sound, although the preamp has a bit too much gain. I would look for a preamp that has low gain. I'm looking at the AR or the CJ versions in tube. I hear the Cary SLP 2002 is a good match for the...

Kurt_tank, Thanks for the input. Forgot to mention that I recently picked up a Pro-ject Wood Classic with Dynavector 10X4 cartridge. Have resurrected my old MFSL vinyl and started buying new vinyl from Classic and Elusive, as well as on Ebay. It i... 
Need help upgrgading speakers and amp. Ideas?
