what is a good tube pre amp out there...........
A question without an answer. To many variables you need to figure out how to audition different pre amps in your system or just enjoy what you have. I use the Aesthetix Calypso (used about $2,400) and really like it but that means nothing to you ...

Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm?
Great to hear that the Terminator is catching on. Now that you guys are in the next step is Vic's Salvation TT. I have had the Terminator about 3 years and bought the Salvation about one month ago. I think it may have been only the second in the U... 
Turntable dilemma.
If you want to step out of the box take a look at the Transfi Salvation TT and Terminator arm. It was an eye opener for me.

Mark at Rogue Audio
I have used the Rogue M150 and now m180 for about 8 years. I have only had one issue with the amp and had the same experience. Mark was very responsive and help me identify the problem and fix it in about 15 minutes. 
What preamp would you mate to your Rogue M180's?
My response is a little late. I have used the Aesthetix Calypso with nos tubes with the M180 for two years and have really enjoyed them. No desire to change. 
CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference
I consider my system mid-range from a price perspective. I have a dedicated room so I guess that most of my listening other that in the car is "serious listening". I have been into the audiophile thing about 15 years. I started with CD and had a C... 
Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm?
I have used the Terminator for almost two years. I upgraded to the tomahawk arm about a year ago and added Vic's reso-mat two months ago. I do not have alot of experience with other arms but it is in a whole different league than the fully upgrade...

Rogue amps-- try 5751 instead of 12ax7
