| Cary SLP-03 pre-amp: Does it need better tubes than stock to sound its best??/ To tomcy6. Thank you for comments and advice. They make good sense. Yes, I would evaluate the sound quality before doing any tube rolling. I did this when changing the two stock tubes to Mulllards in my Rogue Sphinx integrated which is current... | |

| Cary SLP-03 pre-amp: Does it need better tubes than stock to sound its best??/ Thanks to those who have responded so far. For the record, I have only two components that need XLR to XLR connections. The BAT VK-200 and an Ayre CX-7e mp CD player. Any turntable I choose can be hooked to an RCA phono input or line input.The i... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 I thought Lenco was out of business, but I will check out the ad on e-bay.In my own defense, I got burned recently on a used Thorens ,but was able to sell and at a loss.

| Rogue RP-1 pre-amp. Just another SS pre-amp, or high end caliber?? To ggc, Thanks for the heads-up. I did see the ad and communicated with the seller. I believe he is asking $2500, and is somewhat firm on price. Considering it has both phono and remote, pre-amp appears to be a good deal. It would look a lot bett... | |

| Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? . To meadow man, Thanks for the recommendation. I did consider the Bryston middle T speakers before I even bought the Dentons, but they climbed to over 3K. Even used, they are expensive. I don't think I considered mini T, unless I am confusing ... | |

| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues Sounds sleazy on CJ's part. They should have told you about the shipping damage when you called to pay for the repairs. Also, if they received the pre-amp and the exterior was seriously damaged, why did they not call you before doing the repair??... | |

| Is the "standard" Linn Sondek LP-12 surpassed by newer turntable brands and designs?? To Moonglum Thank you for the additional information However, I still think the LP-12 is a tweaker's table. I worked in the audio business from 1976 through 1991. My last tenure in a middle to high end store, that offered such fare as Yamaha, ... | |
| Is the "standard" Linn Sondek LP-12 surpassed by newer turntable brands and designs?? To Moonglum, Thank you for the history lesson on the LP-12. I gather that regardless of its overall performance, it was an analog tinkermen's holy grail. Its greater perfection could be achieved by the factory upgrades. Overall, it seems like t... |
