Hi Zd542,By the way, it's a Rega P1, I believe the stock Ortofon cartridge is moving magnet---- but I'm a vinyl newb.thanks,Seth 
Inexplicable muddy sound on phono input
Thanks a lot, I'll check into that, good advice. Probably a cartridge mismatch or something else I can address under the hood.best,Seth 
Inexplicable muddy sound on phono input
Hi guys,Thanks. I did indeed hear the turntable, and it sounded fine at the dealer. I didn't actually hear the preamp when that dealer tested it, but he claims that it sounded fine. I don't think it's a gain issue, as the sound is not distorted or... 
Inexplicable muddy sound on phono input
Hi Rcprince,Yes, it has the card installed---at least I bought it that way. When I first received the unit it sounded great. I do suspect there may be something wrong with the preamp, but I want to trust the dealer, who claims to have found nothin... 
Which vintage tube pre for my class D amp?
You know, you're right. I'm thinking an ARC, maybe an LS25 to take advantage of the balanced operation. And impedence should be fine; the Rowland is 40k. Thanks for the reality check guys. 
Great and well-recorded jazz on CD
Thanks guys, for all the help... First wave of Amazon purchases came in. I'm enjoying Sinatra's Only the Lonely in a gold MoFi edition, the Sonny Stitt, some Gene Ammons, Bird with Strings, and Jimmy Smith's the Cat. Beautiful! 
Great and well-recorded jazz on CD
Great, thanks for these. Keep them coming.I have some of them, and I'm looking into the others. It's helpful to list which release you're listening to. With Cool Struttin', for instance, is the Rudy Van Gelder remaster any good? I know some people... 
Leben Owners: which speakers do you use?
I'd love to hear the Orangutans, and the Living Voice too. Interesting what you say, Glenalan and Randyk, about the 600 versus the 300, and the Nines v. the 8s. I heard the 300XS with the Super8s and some Dynaudios. Can't remember exactly what I t... 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
Thanks Tjnindc. I've been curious about Audio Notes in general; they have a super dedicated group of fans/owners and seem to be special, though I have never heard them. I'm glad to hear they worked with the Leben---I had considered the AN-E as a s... 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
Thanks everyone for your responses so far. Lots to think about, and research, and hopefully listen to. Dover, the Tannoys would be amazing but a bit tall for what I am looking into. The Rega R5 looks interesting, and I believe I can check it out h... 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
Bjesien, I do like the Nines a lot, but because I'll still have them around to listen to, I'm game to look into new directions (like single-driver... the Omega Super 5s are interesting). Also, since the kind of listening I do at home will change, ... 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
Mapman, thanks---I have seriously thought about Ohm, and I can swing by the shop because it's not far from where I work. However, from my reading on the subject, I had figured that the Ohms would want more power than the little Leben can offer (no... 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
Thanks Clio09, Tonian has interested me. Has anyone got experience with the Omega Super 5s? 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
You know what? Audiogon is a bit like therapy... a talking cure. After formulating my post and getting a few comments, I've realized what was in front of my face all along---I need small floor standers, not monitors on stands. Bjesien and JDoris, ... 
Which monitors for my tube system in a large room?
Bjesien: It's more that the baby completely scrambled my habits. Somehow I had envisioned me rocking the little one to sleep while listening to music, but that was naive. Suddenly my schedule is totally upside down. Also, the 'family room' got a l...
