| missed buying opportunities Strange you should ask at this juncture. I saw an advert right here on the 'Gon for a Pass 0.2 preamp within driving distance and at good price. I waited a little too long and found out an offer had already been received on it. Too bad, so sad. A ... | |
| Shipping Large Amp across Canadian Border? Plattsburgh NY is way closer to Montreal than Burlington Vt. Have it shipped to the FedEx facility and make sure the vendor indicates "hold for pickup" on the paperwork and provides a phone # for you. Fed Ex will give you five days to go and take ... | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 Why not a brand new Technics? Seems the belt drive only hysteria has subsided over the years. Hard to beat for the price. | |
| Anyone remember The Warehouse? And chicken tasted better back then too! | |
| Do the big Maggies play LOUD Had problematic 3.6s for a while and they don't do what I consider "loud". | |

| Audio Research vt-100 mk111 vs McIntish 402 I have the ARC one you mention and, now that I have had the issue of tube replacement and re-biasing dealt with, am very pleased with it. I can't speak for the Mac, but I don't think anyone can go wrong when buying tubed equipment to go with ARC a... | |
| "Pro" Amp to Drive Thiels I owned 3.5s for many years. Aside from its appetite for midrange drivers, a very good speaker. Without getting into discussions about "accuracy" vs. "euphonics", I can only say that the the 3.5s are a bit sharp and benefit from an amp that can su... | |
| Watt Puppy 6 At a quarter of the price,they are about right price-wise. I will let you figure out how much brand new ones should cost. Amazing that too many manufacturers don't provide upgrades but would rather churn out new models. When was the model 6 replac... | |
| What's a good tube pre-amp to match Bryston 4BST I use an ARC LS 25 into 7 B-STs and am happy and previously used an ARC LS 8 II that sounded ok with the Brystons. | |
| Shouldn't the Bass be felt? Duh I understand that bass divides the men from the boys speaker-wise. Should it be felt? Well depends. If you mean should it be felt at all times, then the answer is no. On the other hand, if you mean that when necessary should it be felt, then I res... | |
| Turntable Shoot Out $2000-3000 Are you thinking brand new or used? I am very pleased with my Rega P9/1000 arm and was quite impressed with a Wilson Benesch model with a carbon fibre arm tube at a show. No mention of a used LP 12. Any reason why it does not appear on your list o... | |
| Rega P9 specs Re: spacers In reference to my previous post, what I mean is that if you wish to install a cart without lifting out the factory installed arm to shim it, the Kontrapunkt is at the limit in terms of body height. | |
| Rega P9 specs Re: spacers I use mine with a Kontrapunkt B and it is, to my eye, about as tall a cartridge as can be mounted on this arm. I think that the arm can handle just about any mc cart and that only highly compliant cartridges pose a problem. You may be able to get ... | |
| ARC Pre + which SS amp? Brystons work fine for me. Don't believe all the "Brihgtsun" crap. |
