| Speaker placement after component changes? I don't use the Sumiko, but I did need to move my speakers away from the walls a little after I got new tubes. The JJ 2A3-40 tubes I have now put out a good bit more bass than the tubes I had before, so I needed to reposition. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore The only time I heard a SS amp with this type of speaker was when I compared Zu Omens and Tekton Lores at a friend's house. He hooked his Carver amp to the Omens and within a minute we all agreed we needed to hook up the tube amp we had there. The... | |
| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS 10-14-11: Jmoog08"What would he say about the Technics facing off against something that has snob appeal? That the higher end unit is 5 or 10 percent better? Would that be worth putting up 10 times the price?"Absolutely would be to many people giv... | |
| From high end digital to beginners analog? 10-14-11: Unsound"IMHO, digital provides better value, and the extra money would better be spent elsewhere."I agree, provided you're starting from scratch and don't have a bunch of records. If you have a bunch of records then it depends on things ... | |
| From high end digital to beginners analog? I have about 300 records that I just used to stare at, never play because my CDs via a Rega Apollo sounded much better than my bottom feeder analog.To upgrade my analog I bought: Rega P3, Denon Dl-103r, Musical Surroundings Phonomena Nova, all use... | |
| Upgrading Fuses 10-12-11: Jeff_jones"There is a neat thread somewhere on this site that asks folks about their personal limits of acceptance for what is 'obvious' snake oil and what is worth consideration."To me, this is the crux of the debate. When someone's lim... | |

| Phono preamp under 1k new or used advice? Another option is the Musical Surroundings Phonomena Nova. The Nova sells for $1K new, had dip switches for resistance, capacitance, and gain. Also runs off batteries that recharge via the AC plug. I like mine a lot, but just don't have a lot of e... | |
| Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence? Wow, good question. I'd be surprised if you'll find anyone who has heard either Zu and the Katz. I have the 2010 version of the Katz, and I know you used to own Souls or Superflys. You're right down the road from me so you are welcome to come have... | |
