New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Two thumbs up for effer's 9:48 PM post - guns blazing away! $300 for 1.5 ml! This sounds like the audio scam of the year! Wish I had thought this up myself so I could rake in the bucks from the gullible! LOL! 
Sony TA-A1ES
The Sony will work just fine with either Focal speaker. Same for the headphone output! Buy it and enjoy it! No need to worry so! All of today's integrated amps in that price range are competent performers and sound essentially alike! 
Audio Research SP3-a1
Don't send your SP3 to ARC! They are just preying on your gullibility! What do you think is wrong with it: distortion in one channel, higher noise level, persistent hum, lack of gain ... ? Most of these problems are simply due to tube aging. Tubes... 
Are there any really good cd cleaners out there?
No isopropanol in the house? Plain vodka should work ok! 
Dynavector cartridges, old and new
I have a Karat with a ruby cantilever still in fine working condition! And competitive with today's expensive MC's! 
What is a good cleaning agent for components
A folded Bounty paper towel sprayed with some distilled water and 91% isopropanol. No need for anything fancy! 
Dynavector cartridges, old and new
My first mc cartridge was a Dynavector 20B bought in 1977 from Lyric HiFi in NYC. Cost $240. I used it on my Empire 698 TT. Used it for about 6 months and then sold both TT and cartridge to a friend of mine (his first TT!).

Than you amg56 for fighting the good fight against the rising tide of b*ll s**t!!! 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Polishing your metal contacts with tooth paste (Crest or Aim?) will probably be just as effective as this expensive potion!  
Belles 22a Preamplifier
My favorite choice for a tube preamp would be the Bruce Moore designed Precision Fidelity C2 (long out of production)! 
Belles 22a Preamplifier
The Belles 22a is indeed an excellent preamp! However, trophy-hunting high rollers will prefer an AN Kondo for its snob appeal! 
Racing car vs audio system
Listen to Mr. Spock!

If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps...
Save your money and continue to use the pre outs of the Musical Fidelity. That's an excellent sounding and built unit! Anything else is just a side-wise move! 
Used Bryston 3B-ST or Schiit Vidar?
Bryston is the better choice here! Superior engineering and build quality! Excellent factory support for all their products!
