| Self bias tube integrated or power amp suggestions Really recommend a Rogue Tempest v1. The original was self biasing. Prefer Magnum version if you budget permits. Also has main in so you could use as an amp. Two things to note. It has a passive line stage so if you are using phone make sure your ... | |
| Best wall mount speakers under $1k better yet $750 Rabco...Yes I have. They are not the typical wall mount as the sound is well beyond expectation. I found them to have qualities of "conventional" Focal designs. Dynamic, detailed without being fatiguing, great high frequency extension. Also they i... | |

| Recommendation for Baroque music lovers Take a look at the Alia Vox label for many baroque alternatives (and more). Also very well produced with a focus on historic representation of the music. Both CD and SACD releases. http://www.alia-vox.com/ | |
| From LP12 to where...? Theo you could look at the new Avid Diva + arm and still be in budget...I really did not like the older model the the new one bridges the gap to the Volvere/Sequel by using the same sub-chasis. | |
| From LP12 to where...? Mofimadness...are you stating I should of purchased a Teres instead of an Avid? or are you directing your statement to Theo. | |
| From LP12 to where...? I was in the same situation. I liked the lp-12 but...I purchased an Avid Volvere. Everthing improved including being able to easily perfom my own set-ups. The SME IV added to the ease of set-up. | |
| What gives with my Monarchy SM 70 pros? If they are plugged into separate outlets try plugging them both into the same outlet. You may be getting a ground potential hum even if both outlets are on the same circuit. | |
| Need Help on Phono Cable I have had great results with an Audiquest Leopard in a phono application. Since you need RCA to RCA I would recommned the AQ columbia. A little over uour budget if new. I really feel the DBS cables work very well for this application. The low lev... | |
| Subwoofer with Unison Unico REL sub would work since it is designed to use a high level input from your speaker outputs. | |
| Grado Headphone Amplifier I had the same issue with my ra-1 with a loose rca connection (still worked) Grado repaired free of charge. Mention if they will add some glue to the existing connection to prevent it from happening again. I do think it is a great amp and I get ve... | |
| Sub for Focal Micro's I use an Electra SW 1000 BE with my micro BE. The sub integrates seamlessly and is very easy to adjust through the remote control. | |
| How can I improve my CD sound? I have had real good luck with the Marigo mat. Signature or regular. Smooth but still detailed. | |
| What amp to replace BAT VK-250 w/Dali & Aesthetix? A bat vk-75se will not be tubey syrup. I actually made the transition from vk-250 to vk-75se for the same reasons you describe. I think the 75se strikes a great balance. It's as worry/fuss free as a tube amp gets. Word of caution...it runs hot but... | |
| budget component in high-end system? I consider headphones a budget component when used within a high end system. The level of performance is great with relatively little money. I use a pair of Ultrasone 2500s with a Grado RA-1 battery unit with really high end results within a high ... |
