| phono preamp for Primaluna How about the Bellari phono stages? Two models available: VP549 ($149) and VP130 ($275). SS and tube (12AX7), respectively. Both are MM only. Bellari does make a SUT for low-output MC cartridges - but for an additional $500. I have the SUT. Excell... | |
| How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables? Break-in! If it ain't mechanical, it don't need no freakin' break-in! | |
| sherwood s 6o40 amp . Keep it! I have one in my collection. Excellent amp with plenty of power! Can drive most any speaker with ease. | |
| Rega, AT33PTG/II, Guns N' Roses and IGD I’ve got both CDs. No IGD there! | |
| Rega, AT33PTG/II, Guns N' Roses and IGD Is listening to Guns N Roses really worth all this hassle? | |

| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? Just get a cork mat - it comes from a tree! Several sellers on the Bay have them! I will eventually buy one to try out! | |
| Most important technical aspects of speaker wires? Capacitance, inductance, etc... For 23 years I used Mogami Blue Neglex 2477 coax OFC 12 gauge to connect to my KLH Nine electrostats. 20 feet per side. I bought it cheap from my friend and local HiFi dealer - who received it as a sample. It was a 40 ft piece that I cut in half -... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? @mrdecibel : Eventually I will try the Speakerlab 7's with my First Watt F5 clone (Tim Rawson- built). | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Presently have them connected to a Bryston .5 preamp and 3B amp. SQ is truly excellent for a 30 + years vintage system! | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? I have a pair of Speakerlab 7’s that I found at Habitat. $100! A four-driver system - 12" woofer, 10" upper-bass, 12" midrange horn and 6" treble horn. Sealed cabinet painted flat speckled black. They look like a Heresy with an extra woofer on the... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? I will put that BEL 1001 amp (first production one!) up against any of today's pricey gear! For too long audiophiles have been conned into the belief "spend more, get more"! So a $10K amp has to be sonically much better than a $1K amp? And a $50K ... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @mrdecibel : I have never been in a rock band and my hearing is still good! Right in front of me to my left is a Richard Brown Electronics Lab BEL 1001 amp (serial no. 0001). A favorite of Harry Pearson's from 1980. This requires an IEC cord - for... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? @mrdecibel : I probably have more amps (both SS and tube) on hand (along with speakers) than you do! So I can speak with some experience! And I agree with you that Class D is an interesting development - though I was aware of it long ago with Infi... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... Tower also had a great selection of magazines! How a 130 store chain could disappear is ominous! |
