| Recommendation for analog set for $700 Agreed that you need to think of a good arm/cart match. | |
| I’m looking for suggestions for a tube Pre Amp Can you be more specific than "moderately priced"? | |
| Best way to eliminate "common mode" noise from AC Chadeffect,The Equitech 2Q that the OP has is a balanced power conditioner. | |
| Beware purepower inc Boy are there a lot of PurePower postings on Audiogon the past couple months that make me want to just stay away. Humming new units, lack of communication, long waits on repairs, etc. Oof. | |
| Cary 805, deHavilland or Atma-Sphere? Anyone cares Dracule1. Ralph may chime in here, but autoformers do not make an OTL into an equivalent of a conventional tube amp with transformers. I didn't find much noticeable difference with or without autoformers. | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter Very dependent on what the power entering your house looks like and how a conditioner works in your system. Auditioning is key here. To your list I would add a balanced power conditioner (Equi-tech, for example) and the Running Springs lines (know... | |
| Speaker choice: impedance, sensitivity, and tubes I am puzzled by the story of your 88dB speakers. What preamp are you using? This sounds like a gain problem, not a watts problem. Taking gain into account is an important part of system building. | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea I would recommend against an even split between the cost of amp and speaker. Spend on the speaker. Much greater payoff there as long as the amp you choose is well-suited for the speaker. | |

| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please Suteetat, If it is not clear on the record label or cover, the code on the cover's spine or label should allow you to figure this out. Check those codes at Discogs, probably the best place to look for pressing details. And as for buying mono, be s... | |
| Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability??? Man PurePower Canada can't catch a break. When was the last time I read a positive forum post on these folks? | |
| I am thinking about a Butler 5 channel amp. First step is to check the input impedance of the amp and make sure the pre's output impedance is at least 10 times less. | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 And once you get to the GTA or a Vortrex, you are at the end of your upgrade chain for analog except for the cart and phono stage. For better or worse. The Well Tempered tables sound great but you lack a tonearm upgrade option. Not that there aren... | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Yes Dayglow, I scooped up the only Rock 7 I have ever seen used. I previously had an Amadeus, and agree with Greene's assessment of the two tables, though note that Greene was using a Rega 301 arm. Trough or no trough the table needs a better arm ... |
