| Looking for phono stage recommendations JafoxI hadn't really looked at it tubes vs Solid State. I was looking for the best phono for the money. I am still considering ordering a Supratek Cortese, but it takes about five months to get one.If I go that route, I can sell my Klyne and the P... | |

I think I'll call Kirk and Donna and see if they would be agreeable to me picking up the table/arm/cartridge.

| Speaker Design It's impossible to answer this question with any degree of accuracy. The speakers should not sound the same. Crossovers make a huge difference. In this context we don't know if they are going to be shooting for a state-of-the-art, or meeting a pri... | |
| How good is the Aragon 8008mk.2 amp? The Aragon amp is very good. It begins to approach the quality of better amps, but it will never be on par with the Krell or Levinson gear, unless it is being compared to integrated amps or HT gear.I owned the 8008 for several years, and was very ... | |
