| Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue Frank- You met the armganac, I am very sorry. Like most of the finer things in life its hard to turn back when you've had the best! That being said I have a nice large bottle of '74 sitting next to my system :) its like having a new component! | |
| Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue WOW I hadn't heard that yet- Mike and Dale way to go!

| Audio Aero Capitole MKII Rap- I would love to know how involved this process is, I still have a P1 chip in my player and will not send it out to be done(wonder why:) I am pretty good at this sort of thing I just haven't gotten around to it. Is it really as simple as other... | |
| Rule of thumb for VTA I am by no means an analog guy, how ever I have played with some very nice turntables, and when setting up a table we always set the VTA level when the stylus is in the groove, and listen, then tweek it up a little and listen and then down a bit a... | |

| Pre-amp / CD player match with Wolcott P220M What speakers are you using? I think all of your combonations above would work well. How ever if you only have one source why not get a player with volume control and run direct- my favorite is the Audio Aero Capitole MKII. There are many other gr... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/192... anyone know if the From my experiences with that player it is an analog volume attenuation regardless of you using the control on the unit or the remote. I do know on the Mk I there are two different remotes, both of which can control the volume- I don't see how the... | |

| Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75? The tenors are the best amps I have ever heard and I have listened to a JL2 for a long time. There is something about an OTL tube amp that is simply magical. I think the JL2 is a great amp and for some speakers would probably be the better choice,... |
