| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but My amp was the big CJ 650?[ My tumor has taken some of my memory] and now also a Gamut 200. Both simply let the music through better. Yesterday when I was listening to the Gamut I found myself rocking back and fourth. More prat or whatever. Don't ... | |

| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? There was a club over there some years ago and some of us went over from Lousville. I was the high end dealer out of my house when I was In Louisville , we tried to start one but nobody showed up. I have lost the connection with the guy for the cl... | |

| Power cord for GamuT? I really like my Transparent Powerlink but when I hooked it up yesterday it would not stay plugged in so I am slumming it with the standard cord. I have several other Transparent ones so I will try some of them. I found them to be excellent on my ... | |
| Gamut d200 mk2 It is the 350. They only stopped making it because it would be too expensive to make. With the prices the way they are this sounds unlikely. As a former dealer I hate to say it but buying used makes sense. I have a friend who keeps telling we to g... | |
| Gamut d200 mk2 They are probably 5s. I started with my Spendor 1s as that was what I had been using. Will hook up the Gamuts this week. The amp sounds great. In the same class as my CJ transistor amp which is the best one I ever heard. You Tubeies can forget I s... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? Audiophiles are unbelievably fickle and often sell excellent products for a large loss. Even when I was a dealer I bought most of my personal gear used because I could get better prices that way. I handled products like Krell, VPI, Quad, B&W e... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? For example some years ago there was a speaker I wanted to hear and I drove from Southern Indiana to Cincinnati and bought them ear unheard as they were in very good condition. They proved to be excellent but not my taste. I sold them to an audiop... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? I look for advice from someone whose taste I share and then look for such a product at a good price. In this way I have been able to even order products from overseas which were not available here. Granted that I am vertran audiophile there is a m... | |
| audia flight opinions I have the pre and it is very good but I had to get rid of my house due to bad health. It is great but quite heavy and I am going to lighter equnent. If any of you are intrested let me know and I will run an ad. | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt I was a VPI dealer and had a huge example of an oversized one which has now been discontinued. Heavier than lead and was very good and had more powerful bass than the Linn but not as agile. A friend has it now and he likes it very much. | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt I am using the Sole sub chassis and arm board and top plate. They are very good and improved the sound considerably. The Linn is now the best turntable I have had and I prefer it to the Ravens of my friends. I will not say it is better as I have n... |
