What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
There is absolutely no way to give a definitive answer to this thread question,and everyone probably knows this!Too many variables.To many differing tastes;and really too many fine products.Basically anyone happy with their unit will,most likely,n...

Raquel,So what!The offer still stands!Just as long as I get to choose the equipment!Though I'd have to get my wife's permission! 
Best tube pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?
Raquel.Would you consider marriage,to me, at a future point?I would not be able to give you a large gemstone,though,as I'd need the cash for the "Hobby"!! PS--I've got great ears,and am considered to be a great set-up man!Credentials should,obviou... 
Looking for phono stage recommendations
John,I totally agree with you,and was just offering up some overall insight into the possibility of, really, any heat based design.I happen to love the Aesthetix stuff,big time.I have a dedicated 13x22.5x8 ft room.A/C and heat/humidity are control... 
Looking for phono stage recommendations
Nrchy,one thing I did not mention,and you may want to(actually should)consider,is the "ergonomic" aspect of everyday use,regarding heat dissipation.Believe me all of the experienced guys in my little part of the world take it SERIOUSLY! Tube units... 
Tube Amps: CAT JL3's vs ARC Ref 300's
Sorry for my ignorance here.Are the CATs pentode or triode?If pentode,then Atmasphere makes a case for the Triodes sounding better. I know these(Atmosphere) are OTL.I own neither,but may be interested in future configuring.Thanks,so much!Also,mayb... 
Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence
SORRY!!!I was responding to the comments made towards CELLO,not Doug ,on the Titan Re-tip thread! 
Looking for phono stage recommendations
Nrchy,you are really cute!Why do I get the sneaky suspicion that you already know what you are going to buy before you post the question?Well you seem to be a good guy,so I'll play along,again.I have to admit that I love this anyway!! I have heard... 
Di-Poles and back wall reflections Stats
I just finished downloading,and reading the Genesis model 201 owner's/set up manual,as these speakers interest me,and I'm considering them at a future point(2-3 yrs).I like to do my research well in advance! Genesis claims that their designs(these... 
amp stand on wheels
I have,and will NEVER move away from,the Sound Anchors stand,w/casters.What a pleasure to actually access an amp(rarely done,but when it is,you appreciate the moveability).I have a Rowland 8t with additional chassis/power supply.Before updating ch...

Also Raul,I really don't want to get into a subject of contradicting the UNIV fans.As to your post aiming at Doug. You are a better man than that!That was not necessary!!You know I like you,and you have a right to voice your "opinions",but being m...

Raul,and Larry etc,Actually try Sirspeedy7068@earthlink.net. Drop the last "0" in 70680.I hope this is helpful in getting in touch! 
Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence
BTW-Raul, If this is in response to my ZYX Univ statement--No I was not serious,and YES,I think it could be "that great".The guys "high" on it have been around the block,a few times.Give them the benefit of the doubt,as I(actually do) with regards... 
Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence
Raul,I am perplexed as to why I cannot receive E-mails,as my screen name is my business website address.Trust me I would not have come up with Sirspeedy.Something like "topspin" or "baldguy"(my daughter can't get off that one) serves me best.Actua... 
Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s?
Well,I have had the same audio timeline as you, Justin Time.Bug in 60's.College in 70's.I have to agree with your findings,with just a slight spin,based on my own experience. I have a good amount of NY area based Audio pals,with high end set-ups,r...
