Converting LP to digital. Advice please...
All:Very good posts, and helpful. Might I ask a question or two? I am interested in transferring some or all of my vinyl collection to digital for archival and convenience reasons. So I would prefer to archive them at 24 bit, 88.2 or 96kHz minimum... 
Headphone Amp AND good Preamp
Thanks for the tips!! Yes, I spent many an hour at head-fi, and in fact that is how I found the Woo, Mapletree, Signalpower (although I have not been able to locate them) and a few others. However, I do tend to think that the "typical" (if there i...

moving to Europe,need help with converting 110/220
Yes, check before you leave, but several manufacturers are making their gear so that it is either dual-voltage (no change necessary), or can be simply switched internally. Why? Simple, makes life a lot easier for them since they ship all over the ... 
What music do you want to play really loud?
Easy. Mahler's 2nd Symphony (with the ending of the 8th close in the running).Recording? Not so easy. I have about 8 different versions, but probably because it was the first version I owned, I still prefer Bernstein with NYP. The louder the better!!

Need help from tube guys to select a tube preamp
Just wanted to suggest an Audio Electronic Supply AE-3. This is Cary's subsidiary, a DIY kit company, but this little fellow (2 x 6SN7) has a large and loyal following. Rare on the used market, since my observation is that most people tend to keep...

As Clueless said, there is a vast selection. You might try one of the "Best of Gospel" boxed sets. This will let you hear all types of gospel, back into the 1930s to the present. My current favorite? The Mississippi Mass Choir (try their greatest ...

Nottingham Audio Space Deck Review
Fantastic review and responses! Those of us researching a new turntable purchase applaud such excellent efforts. It's a joke for most of us to be told "go listen for yourself", since the cost to do that for just a minor sampling of turntables woul...
