remote turn-on for Bryston 4BST and Proceed PreAmp
I have a Proceed PAV\PDSD, and use the remote feature to turn on my sourround sound amp. You need to use a mono mini jack. A stereo jack will not work. Also, you may need a steady current (not pulse), to keep the amp on. My PAV\PDSD allows me to s... 
Accuphase, MF Trivista OR Song?
I have an Accuphase CD 55V player that utilizes XLR outputs with: Pins 1=ground, 2=Inverted (-), and 3=Non-inverted (+). This apparently is not the standard USA configuration, as my Amp and Preamp use: Pins 1=ground, 2=Non-inverted(+), 3=(-)Invert... 
Stands to go with B&W Nautilius 805?
I've just recently purchased Sound Anchor stands for my N805's, directly from Sound Anchor. It's a super solid, one piece stand, 40lbs each, and the speaker bolts to it, making a very solid setup. Around $400 delivered. Good looking too... In rece... 
What was your latest LP find??
I just posted this under a seperate thread, but maybe you vinyl heads can riddle me this:I have this "Elvis for Everyone" LP. Took it from my parents house when they moved, years ago. The date on the lower right corner on the back of the album is ...

Disappointed in SACD player
For the real scoop on SACD, just read what audiophile owners of this product have to say. They're the real experts at this point. I personally would not rely on Tweeter sales people to enlighten me on SACD. The few times that I have shopped at Bry... 
HUM dilemma Can anyone solve This one?
Had a similar hum problem with my combination HT and audio system. Turned out to be the Krell 500 3 prong plug. Try a 3 prong to 2 prong “cheater plug” on the Krell. Worked for me… 
Best Buy Preamp SF 3SE or BAT50SE
I recently purchase a SF Line 3 SE and Power 3 from Underwood Wally here on AudiogoN. Suggest you give him a call. I also checked out the BAT 50SE. Nice unit but will probably cost you twice as much as the Line 3 SE. To my ears there was a subtle ... 
Best Tube Amp under 10K?
I had the Audio Research VT100 Mk II and then VT200. Excellent amps if you don't mind the fan noise. I agree the BAT is also great equipment but I wanted more power. Just picked up a brand new pair of Sonic Frontiers power 3's for around $4000 you... 
Sonic Frontier Line 3 SE
Just purchased a SF Line 3 SE and Power 3, from an authorized dealer here on AudiogoN. Over the past couple of years I’ve tried several preamps (and Amps), such as Levinson 380s, AR LS 25, Krell KRC. Although I have only had the Line 3 SE, Power 3... 
Amp for B&W 802N ?
I'll ask again since I was blown away by the crash. What is the web address for North Creek Music? I have N802s with a VT200 amp driven directly by a Wadia 860x. Excellent sound! 
ARC VT100 or BAT VK60
I too did a BAT VK60 vs VT100MKII comparison. There have been a few revisions over the years to the VK60s, so make sure you are listining to the latest ones. I ended up with a used VT100MKII. Using it to power Wilson WATT3/Puppy2 fed from a Wadia ...
