The Bel Canto SET40 is an excellent single ended triode stereo amp that uses one 845 per channel. Due to it's excellent output transformers as well as it's circuit design, it provides a wonderfully dynamic and full range frequency response.However... 
Forte FP1
I'm sorry for reviving a somewhat old thread, but I just happened across this and noticed that the information that Heyraz has given is not quite accurate for the Forte FP-1 phonostage.Inside the phonostage, there is a bank of dip switches numbere...

Panasonic Viera - ARCAM AVR200
Hi Markolnyc,I just recently bought a Panasonic Viera ST30 Plasma. I am not familier with the AppleTV though.....does the AppleTV have analog outputs? If so, you should be able to run the video through the HDMI and run the audio signal through the...

Benz Ruby ZH or Wood SM?
Hello Audioquest4life,I look forward to hearing how you feel the Ruby Z compares to your LPS. It is said that the various wood bodies do have an affect on the sound....to what extent I am not sure. You'll have to tell us what you think. I agree wi...
