Belt slipping off Scout
Is it level with the platter? 
what solid state amps for the soundlab u-1
I remember a few years ago when I worked for a Soundlab dealer we were running the Fourier OTL amps with the A1s. I brought my old Krell KSA 250 over and everyone was surprised at how well the Krell did with the Soundlabs especially since they wer... 
How does sony do it...Part II
It's very difficult for small high end companies to be able to put the kind of resources into a product like a company such as Sony can and keep the price low. 
balanced outputs
Krell also offers CAST outputs. But, to me the best thing about balanced is that it cancels hum. 
Is Odyssey Power amp Stratos better than Krell?
Move up to a newer Krell and forget about everything else. 
B&W P5 sounds suppressed
Could be they need more power or a higher current amp. 
b&w model nautilus seashells
I love the way they look. 
What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps?
I'm sure Mr.Go has his reasons for making the preamp with dual volume controls. Whether or not anyone thinks they are valid or not will probably not change his mind or make him say, "Gee that's a good idea. Why didn't I think about that?" 
PreAmp Math
I would recommend the B&K PT-3 or 5. The 3 can be had for 2 or 3 hundred used and sounds great.

At this time I am using a cheapy to get me by until I find a better one. It is a B&K PT-3. It sounds decent, very laid back but not very detailed. I had the Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and sold it. And I said most of the companies you listed now of... 
Is the MicrSeiki 1000 table still competitive ?

What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps?
I don't really care why he designed the preamp the way he did and I am not trying to be unconstructive. I am only pointing out what I feel about the design. If you like it, that's fine and I'm sure it is a great preamp. And I would like to point o... 
What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps?
I understand what you are saying Guidocorona. But it is very difficult to set the correct levels at the listening position without remote control. Unless of course one has their equipment within arms reach, we have to interupt the listening experi...
