| SACD availability It seems to me that there are more SACDs coming out every day. Besides the sites listed above, Music Direct and Elusive Disc have plenty of them. I recently bought about 35 RCA Living Stereo Classical SACDs for about $6 a piece from Barnes & N... | |
| SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range... I had the Xono for about 5 years then the Thor TA-3000 for a year then the Audfio Resrch PH-7 for two years and now the Allnic H-1500 II. All of these these were good but I think the Allnic beats them all. There is a used one for $3,000 for sale n... | |
| Anyone modify the K&K phono stage? John, does that have balanced outputs? Just purchased the Art Audio Vivo amp which Kevin designed and I am very happy with it. Also is K & K going to market the Sonas Veritas? | |
| Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2 I just noticed there about seven Salon 2s for sale right now at very attractive prices. What gives? | |
| Fremer/SSM w/Rim Drive I have not read the review yet but MF in the past has not been a big fan of the VPI truntables due to the acrylic platters. | |
| Large Thumping noise I have been using the exact same system for three years without any problems. I do have a tube integrated amp and at first I thought it needed new tubes but the cd player seems to work fine. If the cartridge is worn would this cause it? I am not d... | |
| AKUS - So Long So Wrong- Time to Stop Upgrading? I did upgrade to the Audio Research PH-7 phonostage from the Thor. Incredible sound. The upper bass is much better. In So Long So Wrong, I now hear a slight percussion sound at the beginning on the left channel. If you can hear this you have a gre... | |
| What are your thoughts on hybrid amplifiers? My KR Audio VA 340 with ss preamp and tube output is outstanding. Especially with the PH-7 phone stage. | |
| AKUS - So Long So Wrong- Time to Stop Upgrading? Nice to see that many others like this song. Love to hear it in a direct comparison to a more expensive Lyra cartridge like the Titan or Skala. As far as the live album, I think my SACD version sounds better. The LP sounds somewhat soft to me but ... | |

| Phono amp recommendations Pass Labs Ono- I have had one for 5 years. Built a tank with a separate power supply and you will never have a problem with gain as it goes up to 76db. Extremely quiet. There is a used one for sale of $1,775. | |
| Please help- Arcam AVR-300 or B&K AVR507 I have had the AVR-300 for about 3 months. I am currently using it as a preamp only in my stereo system to drive Art Audio PX-25 amp not for HT and it is very good as the reviewers have said. It is not good with 4 ohm loads like my Sonys in the HT... | |
| Michell Gyro Mk II AC or DC? Has anyone upgraded from the AC to the DC? Its costs about $500. Wondering how much difference it makes. Then for about another $1,000 it can be upgraded to the "never-connected' circuit or for $2,000 can be upgraded to the Orbe model. I have the ... |
