| ARC LS26 vs BAT VK-31se preamps Both units are very good and you probably can't make a "wrong" choice. I went with the ARC LS26 and upgraded the tubes to NOS 6H30-DR's. A truly great preamp, best I've heard and made a huge improvement in my system.Paul | |

| MintLP/Dynavector 17D3 question I recently purchased the Mint tractor for setup on my Rega P9 table. It came with the standard 3x and I purchased the optional 10x magnifier. Since everyone is confessing, I'll be hitting the big 60 very soon. First, my glasses had to go. I could ... | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? People seem to either love or hate Class D amps. I went from an ARC tube amp to the Class D and the sound is great. Never a problem with not enough power either (bi-amped). | |

| Pre-pro Advice for B&W 802d HT System Kennyt... I didn't investigate the Stratosphere , but in my price range it became obvious that the HT processor performed its function well, and the tube preamp performed its 2 channel function well. Being able to select the best for each function... | |
| Pre-pro Advice for B&W 802d HT System Everyone in this thread has made good valid points. From my experience with 2 Channel/HT systems is does seem that changes that bring better 2 Channel have always made the HT better as well. So designing for good 2 channel has been my priority and... | |
| Pre-pro Advice for B&W 802d HT System I'm somewhere in the area that you are heading. I have a 5.1 Analog/HT system with 802D's and the HTM2D on the front, 805's on the rear and a Velodyne sub. I'm trying to achieve 85% 2 channel analog and 15% theater.To achieve your goals, I would c... | |
| Cat Stevens remaster cd's I was wandering through Best Buy the other night and found an audiophile LP on 180 gram vinyl of Tea for the Tillerman. A really good reissue... good dynamic range, very quiet. What a thrill just to cut the wrapper and open a brand new record. My ... | |
| re: phono preamps; is vintage ss any good? OK, for you experts of vintage gear, I have a Threshold M1 Phono stage with a separate Model M7 power supply. Anyone have any info on this unit? Do you know of anyone who can check it out or repair it? Is it even worth messing with? I remember it ... | |
| Question for Rega Arm and Mint Tractor Owner There isn't a practical way for me to describe its position and get you anywhere close, and you need to be close for it to work even at a satisfactory level. I provided a link for a protractor that works with a rega arm. It's small and can be prin... | |

| How to hook up 2 amps from one set of pre outs? I just had a set of dual balanced cables made to bi-amp my speakers. Try Frank at Signal Cable, he made them for me. | |

| Mint Tractor I have owned one of those very nice, very expensive aluminum alignment tools for the past 25-30 years. I can't imagine how many cartridges I have aligned... well almost aligned. After reading the good comments I purchased the Mint Tractor from Yip... |
