| Threshold S300 power amp. Thanx again. You need a bit of luck to find gear you like. Then again, there's plenty of gear I'd probably like, so I might have ended up with a completely different system that I would still be very happy with.Good luck on your quest, let us know... | |
| Cartridge for Thorens 125 with original arm If you really have a Thorens TD 125 (ab) with the original arm, you have a rarity. The arm is a TP-25 http://www.thorensinfo.de/assets/images/TP25.jpgwith TP50 headshell. Unfortunately, there isn't much info on this arm. I'd say it's a medium mass... | |

| Jamo professional 200 Jamo is a Danish brand which got famous (more or less) in the eighties. They concentrated on butch-looking loudspeakers with some professional looking touches. They also had their own measuring-methods. Where they stated the loudspeakers could han... | |
| 3 head cassette decks Tandberg and Revox are already mentioned, as are Teac's. If you don't mind spending some serious money, the Teac Z-series are awesome. Also the better Technic's decks are quite capable, as is the Yamaha KX-1200.Best for it's money I ever had was a... | |
| Apogeee/Bryston Advice needed Being an owner of a pair of Apogee Centaur Major's, I'd say you cannot have enough power, whether it's from tubes or solid state. That being said, Apogees are unforgiving and any 'hardness' will be audible. But that doesn't mean SS amps aren't any... | |

| Hi-End for Black Metal? I like everything from classical Mahler to things like Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Tankard etc., Also some industrial like Strapping Young Lad, Ministry and things like that. My system doesn't care whether it plays a symphony orchestra or heavil... | |
| New vs. old DACs - opinions? Just experience with one old and one new dac: the old PS Audio SL-3 and the much newer Northstar Design Model 192, which is capable of handling 24 bits/192 kHz. The difference between these two is, in my system with my ears, extremely small. If I ... | |
| Best 6DJ8 tubes? I've tried Philips tubes, JJ, Sovtek and RCA. Now I have to say that the differences TO MY EARS (disclaimer: personal experience, no universal truth) are fairly small. I was lucky enough to stumble upon a Philips E288CC SQ. That is indeed the best... | |

| what phono amp for a VPI scout with Lyra Dorian I own a Goldmund Studietto with T5 arm and a Lyra Dorian. As phono-pre I use a Sphinx Phono Equalizer. Small, very well built and flexible unit, but perhaps not easy to find outside Holland/Europe. Since the Dorian has a reasonable output there ar... | |
| Audio Research Tube AMP Reliability I can only comment about the LS-2 hybrid pre, and that little puppy has never let me down *knocks on wood*. |
