SMSL 98E killed my setup?
@dill : You can connect a preamp into another preamp. Just keep the volume control low so you don't overdrive preamp #2.  
Nixie tube amplifier project - unfinished - help!
I am interested and have sent you an email via Google Hangouts! 
How does the input impedance of an amplifier effect it sonically?
+1 gs5556! A good engineering-based answer!  
Help Match Cables To Gear Please
Wire is not a tone control. To believe otherwise is a futile quest and a waste of money!  
Is this a JBL driver?
You can add a picture in "Systems"! 
Magico Mini 2
For $6K you could get three pairs of Quad 57's and stack them! That setup would kill a single pair of Mini's!

I remember the Magico Mini from years ago. It made the cover of TAS and got a rave review from Jonathan Valin. I read the review - and thought that the Mini was way overpriced at $30K. Even figuring in the 30% dealer markup it still was appallingl...

What don't you like/feel is missing from your SF Cremona's? Remember that the grass is not always greener ...

$12K is still a LOT of money for a small speaker! I know they were about $30K new. For $4K you can buy a new pair of Falcon Acoustics LS3/5A's!  
Getting the most out of my Definitive Tech bp2000's
The farther from the wall the worse and uneven the bass response. You can't circumvent the Laws of Physics! 
Cartridge for Technics SL-1200/1210GR
Vote number three for the Hana SL mc cartridge! It has the excellent Shibata stylus profile! 
Looking for a pre amp
Go for the Anthem STR! You've already auditioned it and like it! It will match up better with your system than McIntosh! 
Budget streaming amp
Streaming + an amp! Bargain of the week! 
Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then?
There's a Kenwood KD550 listed here on Agon. $799 in Washington State. I'd buy this myself but already have too many TTs - including a Kenwood KD650! Great DD TTs worth owning and using! 
Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then?
When I wanted to add a new TT to my collection of vintage TTs I chose the Pioneer PLX1000 as the best value under $1K. Excellent build quality! I added a Denon 103R mc cartridge and am very happy with this matchup!
