| SET for 88 dB 4 ohm loadspeaker 88db's not very efficient. Are you married to the SET topology? Have you considered triode tubes wired in PP configuration or pentode tubes wired triode mode? This might be an acceptable compromise for you if your speakers are a constraint. | |
| Getting into Vinyl... Ooops. Guess I provided the "wrong" advice. | |
| Buying HiFi at credit, anyone? It's just as easy to rationalize not using them. | |
| Getting into Vinyl... "A[sic] this point I think I am leaning towards the Black Cube with the larger power supply, I will start there and move ahead with the table, or vice versa. Seems like the phono is the more important piece..."How do you come to the conclusion tha... | |

| Running for Dummest question EVER Butsy, are you trying to say that LP playback is analogous to a B&W TV in quality?? And then you have the nerve to try to placate and assuage us with your second post? Further, I've HEARD systems with wide frequency response and no background ... | |

| Classical 2 die 4...top 5? I've thought about asking this too but, imagined that I'd have to narrow it down based on my tastes since, like Jazz, the types are too extreme: Modern vs. Baroque, Symphonic vs. Chamber, Opera? etc. | |
| Interconnects for turntable set up Call Cardas and Acoustic Zen and ask their owners how they think their cables compare to JPS. | |
| many a question to be answered You might want to distill this to one question. | |
| Looking to get started I'm always curious to know what makes people want to do this? Or, in other words, what are your expectations? Do you feel that our current source will be improved? Just curious. |
