| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions I run 87db speakers @ 8ohms in a room 16x26x8 and rarely measure 90db @ 1m. The amp sounds exceptionally well in my system and will fill the room with enough volume to hear it outside (4 sound room walls are insulated with r12 with r20 behind that... | |
| I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" Phild, KG blows... I though he died choking on his sneaker laces after listening to one of his own lame productions. | |

| Phono Cartridge Recommendations... I understand that as good as the SHO is it is very relentless (tiresome) this came from an audio guy who can afford anything and spent many months coming to that conclusion and then dumped it. | |

| Linn or VPI Have TNT will travel. Previously had Oracles that aside from a lack of bass compared to TNT was a marvelous table that needed tweaking. Aside from leveling occassionally due to feet losing air the TNT is low maintainence and sounds incredible whil... | |
| Should Class A Amps be left on?? I am an Aleph user and the class A operation on the 5 uses 300 watts, that's a lot of heat/electricity, when turned on regardless of whether there is program material. The Aleph 5 seems to take 1 hour to warm up and become most musical and fluid, ... | |

| Tonearm/cartridge sugestions for an Oracle Delphi? I like the MMT and a new cartridge route.Grab a MM like the Sonata and be satisfied until more dough allows an upgraded Table/Arm/Cartridge if that is your direction.
