| I Take My Music Seriously Not musically talented enough to be considered a musician(played tenor sax well enough, but only when reading music - no improptu talent whatsoever so I quit), but extra serious about music. The better my system gets, the less tolerant and more sn... | |

| Time of listening session? System is in Living Room so I usually only listen seriously one night per week as the sound dominates the house. My wife goes to her office and returns late on that day so I can listen at any volume without compromise. I usually listen for around ... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can Lamm LL2 Preamp. Even though I love my 6SN7/12SN7 based preamp, would love to try this one out. | |

| MC 275 tube amps with what speakers ? I have read (never heard) that Eggleston Works Andras sound good with these amps (search this and Speaker forum). While I have not heard this specific combination, I will say that the Egglestons are among my favorite speakers. While I own and love... | |
| Speakers to consider around 5k used? Where are you located? | |
| building the best system I can? Had I $5k cash and a pair of $1300 speakers (regardless of make) I'd first listen to a boat load of other speakers (in the $4k to $3k range, new/used) to verify that I really do like them best. I'd likely lean towards selling the speakers and usin... | |
