| The Dude by TRL Saw the Bud spots over the hols. Duuuuude. | |
| The Dude by TRL Wouldn't it be cool if it had power-up and power-down audio clips by Jeff Bridges? | |
| ML Aerius or SL3's? I can add to the chorus suggesting the SL3s are better than the Aerius. I will, however, add a slightly dissenting comment to Larryken's. High-powered (Larryken was right in that they need lots of power) tubes with the SL3s are so much nicer than ... | |

| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k The amp is the end of the chain when it comes to differentially balanced or not, and if there is anything to the "SET" nature of your amps, it will not matter a great deal I expect. I am not a circuit specialist, but given the way that the circuit... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k Personally, I would choose the 861 (or the pair). I own an 859, which uses the same tube (also has beefy transformers, ETM output, sounds so silky smooth it is ridiculous, alas has only 13.5 watts and I need more) and I love it. The 861 is basical... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k I have and really like VTL 450s from a few years back (no autobias and different caps than before). I think they are great.

| life without audio dealers I am surprised by the number of people who suggest that in-store demos are worth so little. I personally like in-home demos because they give me a feeling of comfort. However, I also appreciate listening in B&M stores. I find that the neutrali... | |
| Why is the industry so lame? I posit this is not as easy a situation to deal with as has been supposed above. Most American 'high-end' manufacturers are specifically not trying to compete with 'everything-in-the-one-box' products like A-V receivers (which usually have the DAC... | |
| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? To me, it sounds like you should wait. Great TTs like the Galibier and Teres will still be around in a few years. If you are dying to change something until you feel comfortable spending the money, you might try a different angle... While the soun... | |
| Audiophile turntables of the 60's and 70's Visiting my parents for Christmas, I found my old Philips 212 up in a closet. I loved those speed switches with the lights underneath. The Philips 212 was originally my parents' TT before they switched to a larger Thorens. When they had the Philip... |
