| What size of Surge tank for ET2 Drain pipe with end caps work well as 4est said using pvc cement. This cement is a solvent along with cement so it actually softens and combines with the pvc giving it a strong, water tight (or in this case air tight) bond. Be generous with the ce... | |

I have the Marantz sr9300 (several years old) and I am very pleased with the audio output on stereo or mono depending on the source.I also utilize it for SACD for the few disks that i do have.

| Opinions on vintage Dual turntables i wwned the 701 and 721 DD tables and was very pleased with them for close to 20 years. Speed control finally bit the dust on the 721 but only after thousands of hours of play. I moved on to a denon before stepping into the heavy mass belt driven ... | |
| suggestions on small footprint phono stages i am not familar with many of the hi end phono stages, but i do own the zyx and it performs well and does have the small footprint. I use it with my zyx UNIverse and airy3 cartridges as well as a frog on occasion. | |
