| Buzz through speakers w/amp on & pre off Could be a ground loop. Try a cheater plug on your amp, then move it to your pre. Just went through same thing. Cheater plug on my pre solved it. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Records of the Year 2003 I can't disagree with Ben; he likes David Sylvian! Ben ever get to see him live? I was fortunate enough to see him in a small venue in Philly about a year ago. He did everything I could hope for from The Art of Parties to Secrets From the Beehive(... | |

| Absolute Power Cord users, please... Mine warmed up after just a couple of days use, with gear on 24/7. Great value stuff! Spencer | |

| Thiel 2.4 VS 3.6 I recently heard the 2.4s at a Thiel dealer, well set up in a large treated room w/top notch Audio Research gear. To me, it was a major disappointment. To my ears, it honked in the mids, and was limited in dynamics. I don't remember the 2.3 striki... | |
| Maggie 1.6 - Best Amp? Thinking about tubes. Siliab, I like your suggestion. The RM-200 is a powerful beast. Good value, too.Spencer | |
| Preamps: Spectral versus Edge? As a former Spectral DMC20-II owner, I'd recommend proceeding with caution. There gear really does a poor job holding its value. I bought used, and still got crushed when I sold it. Their gear can sound superb in the right system, but it is finick... | |
