| Speaker Packing? If you have to do it, I would suggest getting someone to make crates OR have Fedex Office (aka Kinko's) or UPS Store pack them. They will charge you big $, but then they will on the hook if the packing is not up to snuff, so that when the big brow... | |
| preamp with two adjustable outputs?? If you can attenuate the signal at the sub (most do) you should be able to match them to the mains and then as long as both outputs are ganged together, you will be all set w any pre w dual outputs. | |
| $1K'ish tube or SS Pre with MM - Balanced outs BAT VK3i w optional phono stage should be $1K-ish. Maybe more like $1250.00. True balanced (dual differential) design w some nice tube rolling ops. | |
| Review: Soundsmith SG-410 Strain Gauge Cartridge Cartridge Kirkus- thank you so much for shedding some light onto this quagmire. Maybe you should consider posting a link to this on the other thread aka pi$$ing match about the SG cart. | |

| Best matching phono stage with Zyx Universe cartr. The Artisan is very very good, but is bested by the Doshi Alaap when put head to head. | |
| Atma-Sphere amps work with Acoustic Zen Adagios ?? It would "work"; specs are similar to Merlins which "work" quite well. Would definitely recommend M-60s. | |
| The best CD Player for the money hehehehe! | |
| McCormack DNA .5 and 1- big difference? If you can buy a 0.5 Rev a for the price of a 1.0 dlx, then one of the amps is incorrectly priced. The Rev A of either is an entirely different amp and competes way above its "weight". | |
| replace a full Cello System? New or used? If Agon bluebook is correct, it should yield above $30K. She can definitely put together a good apt system for that kind of $. I'm thinking a good integrated like an ARS or VAC or Jadis if tubes are OK, ASR or Goldmund for SS. Does th... | |
| Review: Keces DA-151 USB DAC DA converter Great review. I've been looking to go to a pc based solution in order to retrieve all that space, and this product was one I had been considering. Somehow the look and literature made it seem like a potential 'sleeper'. Do you know if the amps are... | |
| McCormack DNA .5 and 1- big difference? The 0.5 is better sounding than the 1.0. |
