| Trying Analog Again - Sugg for $2K-$4K Budget? I agree with the recommendation of a VPI Scoutmaster. I've listened to this 'table many times, and I'm always impressed by it. At the price, this 'table and arm combination is awfully difficult to beat. Stay with you current phono stage for now, a... | |

| Walker SST contact enhancer Dave, as I understand the theory behind the Eichmann plugs and the new WTB RCAs, it's about reducing the amount of metal (and dielectric) in the connection more than reducing the contact area per se. There's a discussion of the design philosophy i... | |

| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? 711Smilin, what you see in the power output specifications of the M-60 into different impedance loads (power goes down as impedance goes down and up as impedance goes up) is characteristic of OTLs. (As contrasted to solid state where the reverse h... | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? As you suggest, the Rendition Audio Monitor 60 is designed by Ralph Karsten; it's styling goes back to the earlier Atma-Sphere M-60 styling that Ralph always liked. The circuit is very close to the current M-60 MkII.3 but in a different chassis.. | |
| Rookie Pre Amp Question Thanks Dave. | |
| Rookie Pre Amp Question Derek, just a question for clarity: did you intend to connect some of your speakers directly to the AVR 230 and some of your *other* speakers directly to your AVR 335?If so, then each set of speakers will be separately driven by each receiver and ... | |

I like Walker Audio SST and Extreme SST, also Caig Pro Gold. I tried Tweek long ago, but stopped in favor of Ko... | |
| Balanced preamp recommendations Steve, here's a link to a recent review by Robert Harley in TAS:http://www.theabsolutesound.com/newsletter/151/calypso.htmlWhere he says, in part:"The Calypso and Rhea do not sound like tubed electronics. I heard no trace of the classic tube sound... | |
| does anyone know about c-j premier 5 monos? Phatal, note that Avguygeorge has given you a good price target now. The Music Technology/Bill Thalman mods to C-J gear are always worthwhile, imo.. |
