| Quick Question - why does there seem to be a lot of Sonus Faber Sperkaers for sale !!!! They have sold in pretty great numbers, lots of them out there.

| Does Jeff Tweedy sound like Ray Davies? @easy_e, I have a Wilco soundboard recording of them covering Waterloo Sunset. Would that help you & your wife resolve the debate? This was part of the Solid Sound Festival 2013 "All Covers - All Requests" show MCed by John Hodgeman. Lucious... | |
| Oh my Wilco! A Ghost is Born was their last album to use an all analog chain. That & YHF are my favs on vinyl. If you want to dive deeper, try Autumn Defense - Circles on vinyl. A most underrated album from John & Pat! IMHO, all the Autumn Defense LPs ... | |

| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? Ben,I am not sure if Kara is still making amps, but I have the utmost respect for http://www.dehavillandhifi.com/. They specialized in your wheelhouse and when I had the right speakers, their 845s really sang! They played around with some other tu... | |

I found myself in a similar situation years ago being a fan of 845 and 211 amps and struggling to find the a more powerful amp using them to pair with my speakers of choice.

| Which Speaker to go for? Are you familiar with eBay's Completed Listings filter? Suggest looking at those to get better sense of demand, price and how often they are available. Could be a stress reducer...Also, I wouldn't worry about "old tech" in Monitor models, if they... | |
| Tube phono pre amp or Tube preamp + SS phono Yeah, what @mesch said! SS phono will be better for dodging RFI/EMI when handling the tiny signal. Tube pre can also offer benefits to digital sources now & later. I previously lived near a radio tower, and tried about 6 tube phono stages bef... |
