goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant
Twl- I can try the higher gain on the Black Cube and a different loading, but the Benz phono stage I have been told is pre-set to be optimized for Benz carts. I did not get a manual, but the seller said there were no adjustments. Anyone out there ...

Or better yet, how about an ABSD (automatic bulls--t detector)? 
How often to Audiophiles upgrade their equipment?
On a more serious note, the idea of making fewer significant changes is one that probably will minimize your $ outlay and maximize your enjoyment, unless you have $ to burn. Someone much wiser than me noted on this forum that you should plan on do...

Well I'm going to add my $.02. The gospel among analog fans seems to be that you couldn't touch even a moderate analog set up without spending 2-3X as much on digital. Well I bought a SOTA Star Sapphire, rebuilt Benz Micro L2, New OL Silver MK1 an...

Magnepan 1.6 and Moscode 600s
Anders- This is a stereo hybrid (tube inputs, mosfet power stage) amp from the 80s. 300 wpc. I owned a Moscode 300 and liked it very much. Lush, warm tubey sound. Don't know about its ability to handle low impedence loads, or its current capabilit... 
Good power conditioner overview in TAS
Not to hijack this thread, but can anyone tell me if older Chang (3200) or Vanservers (Cleanline 141) conditioners will limit current delivery to my Llano Trinity 300 
Which Sub Woofer is good for my 2 channel system
I just added a VAndersteen 2W to my 2 channel system. Fast and tight it is. You can buy a new 2WQ and get to adjust the Q, for about the $1200 you wnated to spend.

I was looking for new release by Joss Stone at Borders. $7.99!!! Great female R&B vocalist. Think Tracy Nelson meets Eva Cassady. 
Can I bi-amp my speakers with a Denon 3802?
If you vertical bi-amp and biwire then you won;t need to add an external active crossover. 
What is the best 42"plasma Panasonic or Pioneer?
You know, I wasn;t paying much attention since I was just browsing, but go to AVS forum and you will find some FAQs on plasma TVs that will give you what you need. I will admit that I liked the Elite an awful lot when I saw it at Tweeters, but I a... 
What is the best 42"plasma Panasonic or Pioneer?
Over on avsforum.com they say that the Elite is the same as the HD Pioneer with a different case, FWIW. Just $3k more. 
Worst remote nomination...
Yamaha RXV-995 remote. Never could get a clue as how to set it up. Large, clunky, poorly laid out. On the plus side, volume seemed to work just fine.
