| Benz micro glider vs dynavector 20X2 I've been using a Glider for the past 17 years, most recently with a Soundsmith ruby cant. I've had it in a few different systems, WTRP and highly modded Thorens, as well as, SS or tubes and have enjoyed the performance it has delivered. That is n... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. ("In what way are the Dead over rated? "Probably not really, at least in terms of studio recordings. I've just never been a fan of their live performances for the most part. Reckoning is good though. Saw them live once in 1981 after looking forwar... | |
| Active vs Passive Pre amps Oops.....I should have done my research on this passive before wading into these waters. Your pre is transformer based and pot replacement is not as simple as a non transformer based pre. There are other passives that have 48 gain settings...you m... | |
| Active vs Passive Pre amps I would just replace the pots in your passive with 42 Stepped Ladder type.....or you might try the more recent smd type pot. I'm using one now and prefer it to ALPS. With a resistor based stepped ladder you can choose the type of high end resistor... | |

| DAC woes - what to do Matrix mini i with the ad 1955 chip set. Pay less and get more. Get the 2014 version for a bit more flexibility. Really, this unit works really well and sounds great. It is pennies well spent. Buy now and thank me later. | |

| Your favorite album cover... Terrapin Station and Blues for Allah, what else! | |
| Lowend Preamp on a budget. I would give a nod to the passive if you can work with what it offers but I would buy the one they have for 135 with the smd attenuator. It is a bit cleaner sounding than the Alps plus you get cmc RCA'S for all inputs and outputs. Actually I bough... | |
| Opinions - TD-125 vs MMF-7 I would think that a modded out 125 could and would out perform the mmf7. New plinth....New arm.....and an assortment of other tweaks will get you a stellar performer. I modded a 166 and liked it so much I sold my Well Tempered. | |
| Buy? Used NAD 533 with RB250 and Goldring Elektra The 250 arm is nicer......I'd go with the nad. | |
| Replacing a transport in an Arcam DVD player I think that this the most frustrating part when it comes to dvd lasers. So much so, I given up on players of discs all together. It is all hard drives, and back up hard drives for me. That, and vinyl.Good luck. | |
| Hot Tuna Well, If you don't know Jorma, you don't know Jack! | |
| Soundsmith is not the only game in town. Last year I sent my Benz to SS and got it back fast. I went with the ruby option and it sounds better than when new. I have nothing but praise for SS. |
