| Power Conditioners Have the PS Audio Premier Powerplant on the entire front end and it's all like/no dislike in what it does for the sound. I don't find as some say, that it has a sound quality "like a component or wire", what I do find is it just quiets the mains d... | |
| Art Dudley Listening - Stereophile Dec '09 Nordost My system and ears seem to benefit from a consistent and like loom theory and application. I make exception only in the phono cable (low output MC to 64db gain phonostage), which handles the source information at an extremely low level voltage and... | |

| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings A Hifi reissue of JAZZ PARTY (MONO) a 1959 album by jazz legend Duke Ellington would be wonderful. I have a slightly dog-earred copy on six-eye Columbia that absolutely smokes the Classic Records stereo version, as good as it is and that many thin... | |

| Linn Abandons CD Players Theo, I agree also I love my record (vinyl)albums for the gestalt of the whole thing, the cover art, the cleaning, the care of putting it on my deck and playing it, being able to hold it in my hands. Here's were Ivor is different than the rest, it... | |
| Linn Abandons CD Players Full (disc)losure: I'm must admit to being a long time vinyl guy. I like the analogue sound. I've owned a Sondek Lp12 since '82.It's easy to be very reluctant to spend much on even a unidisc player when everything keeps changing every time I chang... | |
| Phono stage for tube system - recommendations? I would second Rushton's recommendation.And I own and have loved the performance of my Aesthetix Rhea and I'm having the Signature upgrade by Jim White.Once you step into the light you will never go back.Happy Listening! | |

I understand testing a theory because so little is... | |
| Balanced tube preamps w/ remote to consider? Pedrillo, Just a note on Calypso preamp tube compliment, I'm currently running a pair of RCA 5751 black plate triple mica and a pair of Telefunken 6DJ8. The 5751 have a little less gain (3db?) than the 12AX7 (I've run lots of old stock 12AX7s) but... | |
