Phono Amp Recommendations
Take a look around and see if you can find the recently discontinued ARC PH 5 - it is excellent and retailed for around $2500. It was replaced by the PH 7 which is more than twice the price. It is an excellent phono preamp with switchable gains fr...

Life after Aerial 10Ts...
I second Kehut, give the Quad 2905 a listen. I heard a pair with CJ SS epuipment a few weeks ago at a dealer and was floored! It was hard to get up and leave! I am considering these myself, just a tad bit concerned about volume levels as I listen ...

McIntosh C1000 tube pre vs. ARC Ref 3?

Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear
Dave, after following your threads for a while it seems you change equipment alot... and top dollar stuff too. I would be hard pressed to find many Mac products that cost as much as the new and improved again MIT 2.2 speaker cable you use. That co...
