can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss?
Can Romeo be happy without Juliet? He sure can if he could see her twenty years later from the day he first meet her. To say you can not enjoy a SS amp over tube is nonsense. I am amazed how many think just because it's tube it must be getting me ...

Goldfinger is a master piece of vocal sensuality.

Do you have an ikea in your area? If yes, buy yourself an ikea lack table.They are ridged four legged tables made of a light weight composite. If not go to HD or Lowe's and purchase heavy duty mounting brackets a thick piece of maple butcher block... 
AR D200- Is it still good?
.I will say I do not have any experience with the AR D200 ss amp. But I do know that many ss amps such as the older Classe DR series amps and many others are still very competitive when compared to newer models. Many were over built and many used ...

ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
well I enjoyed this tread and at least Audiogon allowed us ao speak our minds. I wish you all a happy holiday and enjoy the music. 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Uru975 you do make a very good point about a fool and his money. I also believe you can still have your cake and eat it to and need not spend this kind of cash that equates to nothing more then buying a burnt Cd without a booklet.My library is ful... 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Heres the crux of my tread. I just purchased the BMG Rca original Korngold Sea Hawk cd on Amazon. This is not the Dolby surround but their first and now out of print. ArkivMusic wanted $14.00 not including shipping. I bought it on Amazon original ... 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Uru975 first thank u for your input. Now can you clarify what your saying "or a better version than I had" what does this mean? Are we to believe, that Arkiv reissues are better then the original Cd at 17.00 bucks a pop. With no info or booklet co... 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Drubin I stand corrected. The prices for the reissues are rather high with no booklet info at all. I just think why not just hunt down the original commercially pressed Cd for much less than Arkiv is charging, unless it is hopelessly unavailable? 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Drubin not at all if you check the label listings on ArkivMusic it reads from A to Z with every well known label. There's the ever popular labels such as Mercury,Decca,london,harmonia,Rca and Lyrita's and so on and so on. Even some very odd ball a... 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Brownsfan thank you for your input. I was wondering about comparisons with the ArkivMusic Cd and original commercial issued Cd. 
ArkivMusic Cds any takers?
Drubin have you bought any Cds from them? Have you noticed they are all reissued from well known labels and artist.I am asking how their Cds are made, are they burnt Cds or taken from a PC download. They all come with art work but no info at all. ... 
You've Won the Lottery: Your Dream System, Now.
I would keep my budjet system and buy the largest lp and cd collection that I could find. One with every known audiophile and non audiophile LP and cd that my heart could desire. Then and only then would I consider and buy an all out what ever mon... 
OPINIONS: solid state amps under $2000
you could look at some of the older Classe gear such as the DR-9,10 and 8 series. They are well built and the sonics are excellent with Classe service being excellent to. You will have money left over for any other upgrade, or just more for software.
