Thiel 7.2: amps suggestions please
I had a pair of the orignal CS7s that I powered with Bryston 7BSTs and although the sound was very good I always felt there something missing in the soundstage depth. A little over a year ago I traded to my current setup of CS6s and a Krell 400cx ... 
What Cartridge Would Make the Best Match?

PS Audio HCA2/PCA2 vs. Krell FPB 200 C/KRC combo?
Thank heavens for AM radio, I was afraid I was missing real HIFI all this time.Jimmy, I narrowed it down to a handful of SS amps, Levinson included, but Krell just had the oooomph and sweetness (yes!) I wanted (for that great AM quality sound that... 
Mix and Match Krell and McIntosh?
Perhaps you could offer more info and background as to why you wish to go this route. What are your perceived advantages to running these two manufacturers pres and amps in either combination.Most manufacturers strive for optimal and neutral integ... 
cleaning vinyl. which cleaning fluid to use.
Ditto Dan_ed...I have tried all the major commercial cleaners and Record reseacrh is by far the best of the lot.Deep Cleaner followed by Super Vinyl wash is all you need to make them very clean and quiet, with a much expanded soundstage with all t...

Whatever happened to...?
sorry I meant The Bella Low 
Whatever happened to...?
Thanks Guys! Duanegoosen: Could the Bella Band been also called The Belle Low from Portland, OR at one time? They were a great band and I have been searching for their eponymous first recording for quite some time. 
Tell me about your sweet spot.
"C" isn't really possible when you think about it. Unless the speakers were no wider than half the width of my head and placed next to each other that is.My speakers are aimed straight ahead so answer D. (Thiel CS6 spaced 8 feet apart and I listen... 
Calling all indie rockers...
Listening to Interpol's "Turn on the Bright Lights" as I write. At times they sound like Echo and the Bunneymen (Sheila Was A Diver And She Was Always Down) other times like Doors, and still others, like Psychedelic Furs. Clearly one of the best b... 
Solid state amp ultimate stop...
Krell 400cx I've had for over a year will probably be the last stop for me. I would ultimately like to have the 700mcx monoblocks but they would be too cumbersome to move, take up too much space and burn too much juice for my needs. 
Need help with Sutherland Ph.D. phonoamp
Followup: Eva Manley tells me that Music Lover's Audio in Berzerkely here on the east SF bay is a dealer. Will check it out and try to in-home audition and report/review via new thread.
