| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? I caught lots of nice vinyl when the majority jumped ship in the late 80's and early 90'sI hope to do the same with SACD but I am not getting any bargains on titles currently other than a few bucks off at most on Ebay. I suspect a lot of competiti... | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Conrad Johnson Premier 11A I'll chime in. I have a SOTA turntable and Sony SACD player so our front ends our similar. I think either will fit your needs although my chair time in front of Mac tube equip was limited and a fair number of years ago. I own the premier 11a and i... | |

| Best integrated amp with MartinLogan Aerius Those are killer little speakers, caught my attention big time years ago.Tubes are definitely the way to go as they will flesh out the spare nature of the panels, but S7horton brings up the reality. They need and like power and that isn't cheap wi... | |
| Anyone with experience with ZU products? I am impressed with the tonearm cable I purchased, I also bought Julian's and liked them but had results similar to Boa2 and ended up keeping the Goertz which the ZU was going to replace.Very well built and an excellent company to deal with. They ... | |
| Soundstage issue on Air Tight/Supratek matchup ? Can't speak to the Air Tight amps matchup, but I will give you my perspective from a Conrad Johnson amp/preamp point of view. The Supratek is exactly the opposite in my system and the sound seems to "jump" from the speakers and the image is more f... | |
| Preamp w/ big sound AND extended frequencies ? Second Lugnut. I love my old cj pv11 phono output but it just cannot match the supratek, ESPECIALLY at the high extreme AND the supratek can hang with that CJ midrange. | |

| SOTA table owners- getting upgraded Thanks for the comments.I was very impressed with the stock Sapphire. (probably version I) enough so, that I traded a sacd player for it to replace my beloved Thorens 126.I plan on the level 3 mods down the road. I hate the thought of the shipping... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ecclectique, Greetings.Are you the person that emailed me stating never to sell my Fidelity Research tonearm. You helped me in sourcing a FR headshell for it. I wanted to thank the person but had lost the email address. (Incidentally I love the FR... | |

| What stole your attention from HiFi? The sun is starting to melt the ice. This time of year the rainbows and Spring King run off the coast has me getting the boat ready and the hi fidelity room doesn't get much weekend time. Time to get out and bend the fly rod.Have fun with the Stan... | |
| Speaker upgrade help needed: 4500$ used With the music you have listed, and with very deep bass not being a primary concern, and with wanting a holographic soundstage and imaging, you would be a very happy camper with ReQuests I'll bet .I still enjoy mine and have no plans to upgrade ot... | |
