| Yamaha Tuners Continuing the theme of Yamaha tuners, I have a model CT-1010 from the same period as the CT-7000. The 1010 is no match for the 7000, but it is a very good analog tuner that has held up very well over the years. If you see a CT-1010, and you're in... | |
| What's the best Preamp?? Jcbower, those who are familiar with the preamps you list could perhaps be more helpful if you would share a little about what is important to you in your listening priorities. Albert, I just chuckled when I read your comment. I clicked on this th... | |
| Need advise for my current system....... If you like your Meridian gear, I encourage you to consider Classe amplifiers. Year-in and year-out, Classe makes a very listenable, very natural sounding, and very reliable line of solid state amplifiers. I would expect it to give a nice balance ... | |
| Virginia Audiophiles - I Need Guidance A good dealer in Richmond VA is Tim Harrison / Audio Art. Tim has been in business over 25 years, is very knowledgable of the high end, and works by appointment only. He has an excellent listening room and will set up exactly what you want to list... | |
| Which power amp is a good match for CJ 17LS Preamp Nguyenchiro, I respectfully suggest that the more critical matching problem is between speaker and amplifier, not amplifier and preamplifier. By and large, my experience has been that there is more complex interaction, and need for balancing stren... | |
| LAST???? Has anybody tried this? I endorse the comments already made based on my experience. I've applied the LAST Record Preservative to over 4,000 LPs over the past 12-15 years with no adverse side-effects. | |
| Preamp-phonostage selection for analog lover Good comments and suggestions have been offered. I'd like to share just a note of caution. Making the right choice in a preamplifier is profoundly affected by your priorities (what is important to you) in music reproduction. This can include the t... | |

| Survey-What is your most used source? Turntable 90% of the time; tuner and CD for balance. | |
| who are the best people to do equipment mods? I totally concur in Sugarbrie's recommendation of Bill Thalmann at Music Technology. Bill is a superb individual who approaches upgrades conservatively, thoughtfully and with great consideration. | |
| Which speakers do the hologram thing? You will hear this with Avalon Eidolon speakers, with the right electronics and front-end. | |

| Best Amp for Eidolon I am using a pair of Atma-Sphere MA-2 Mk2.2 amplifiers with my Eidolons and the combination is superb. The Eidolons' quickness, detail, harmonic integrity and ability to throw a beautiful soundstage is perfectly matched by the Atma-Sphere MA-2s. T... | |
| Superb PHONO Preamp ? Thomasheisig, I can't offer a comparison of the units you mention, but I have recently added the new Aesthetix Io Signature, with optional second power supply, to my system. This simply is an incredible phonostage. As you might expect, detail, qui... | |
| Tube amps that can hande 4 ohmsl Atma-Sphere MA-2 tube OTL amplifiers have no trouble driving a 4 ohm load. I drive Avalon Eidolons, a nominal 4 ohm load, with this amplifier with great results. Generally, however, tube mplifiers will be happier with higher impedance speakers. |
