| Turntable interconnects and RFI If it sounds good to you, then use it! That's the only insight I have for you. Myself, I use properly shielded cables for all applications. | |
| DAC with the best midrange ever..... Audio by Van Alstine Ultra DAC | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? I currently have a Richard Grey 400 Pro. I have no other power conditioners to compare it with. I need more outlets, so I ordered a BPT Pure Power Center, which is just a basic power strip with no filtering, etc. I am curious as to whether or not ... | |
| SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range... Thanks for that Graham Slee recommendation. That stuff looks really nice! I read all sorts of informative rambligs on their web site. I hadn't considered Graham Slee before, but the Reflex and Elevator are definitely on my list of potential choice... | |
| SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range... You folks have given me some interesting alternatives to check out. I have bought stuff fom Jay before and he has recommended the JLTi or Whest to me. I do trust his opinions and he's a really nice guy, too! I came up with the Pass Xono idea on my... | |
| SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range... Thanks for the info about the Xono! I'll check out the Heed and the Sutherland, too. | |
| Ortofon/Ear 834p Why so much on your preamp volume control, I wonder? Doesn't the 834P have like ~70dB gain in MC mode? What is the available preamp gain on your Cary? | |

| Turntable/Tonearm Advice I am supremely happy with my SOTA Nova vacuum turntable with Origin Live Encounter Mk. III tonearm. SOTA sells a lot of this combination according to the owners, and I can see why. It's a fantastic combination! | |

| Unterminated speaker cabling sources? No need to look further than you already have... The Blue Jeans cables are nice! | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 The Ultra SL hybrid tube/solid state preamp from Audio by Van Alstine is a terrific component regardless of cost, but it does happen to cost less than $2k. | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? You have a nice system. I just bought a pair of Salk SongTowers. Check 'em out. They have optional dome or ribbon tweeters (which I opted for). The dome tweeter version would certainly be within your budget and you could have them finished practic... | |
| SS Preamp suggestion please How about one of the Van Alstine Insight series preamps? |
