Anyone know of a good repair place for a Revox A77
If you're in Europe, then try Brian Reeves in Manchesterhttp://www.revox.freeuk.com/Charlie 
Avantgarde Duos - right for me?
The Duos would be fine in your system and room. They would be difficult in a room much smaller than yours. I use mine (DUO 2.2) in a room 35x18 feet with 12 foot ceilings. They fill the room with sound and have been my best ever upgrade. Mine are ... 
"O Perfect Preamp, wherefore art thou?"
TRON Syren is her name. 
New2Analog - Table Setup Help?
Jeff,Here are some basic tips. 1. Get the tracking force approximately correct2. Check alignment of the cartridge in the headshell. To do this, adjust the cartridge in the headshell until the sides of the cart are parallel with the lines on the pr... 
Any experience with the Tron Syren Preamplifier
Frontier1I'm glad we've been able to help. I know you'll be happy when it arrives.Charlie 
Any experience with the Tron Syren Preamplifier
Given that the sound quality is excellent, the ability to provide a truly bespoke service is almost unique in hi-fi terms. All the TRON pieces are built to order by Graham in his workshop at home. Inevitably there's a time lag between placing the ... 
Any experience with the Tron Syren Preamplifier
I've heard the Syren several times. I own a TRON Meteor, which was the immediate pre-cursor of the Syren. In fact, my Meteor is Graham Tricker's (TRON designer) personal demo unit which was upgraded over time to use circuits very similar to the Sy... 
Do I need a record cleaning machine
I use an old Keith Monks Record Cleaner. Easy, cheap, effective and does the trick. Bit noisy though. I agree with the others - a wet cleaner is pretty essential if you have any sized record collection.Charlie 
The best phono stage out there?
Loads to choose from. How about TRON, EAR, ARC Ref, Sutherland PhD to start with.Which cartridge are you using?Charlie 
Shindo lab pre amps
Have a listen to the TRON Syren tube preamp from the UK. This is a top drawer tube preamp (no remote though) with great sound quality and fantastic build quality. With the current USD:GBP exchange rate, it becomes even better value. Jeff at Highwa... 
Best matching phono stage with Zyx Universe cartr.
TRON phono is great. I've heard the ZYX with this stage and the TRON is very good and extremely quiet as well for a tube stage.Charlie 
Base for Verdier La Platine
I don't think so. Maybe you could email the UK distributor, Graham Tricker at GT Audio (www.gtaudio.com). He's always really happy top answer queries and give advice.I just use mine on a large solid oak table - works fine on that. That has a bette... 
Tube preamp choice to upgrade a Pass Labs X1
TRON Syren, Tom Evans Vibe, ARC Ref 3 and Lamm LL2 would be my picks. With the current USD/GBP exchange rate, buying a boutique british amp such the TRON or Tom Evans makes for better value.Charlie 
Acquiring an awesome system, but how?
Using your ears is a must. I have listened to many pieces of fabled kit over 30 years of hi-fi, and some have been sadly most disappointing. In the UK, it's much easier to get demos (either in a shop or preferably at home), as the density of hi-fi... 
Phono pre amp
Can you give us an idea of your budget and the TT/arm/cart and the rest of your kit? A line only preamp won't work as you'll need a phono stage with RIAA EQ. Line only stages don't have a phono stage. Do you prefer a tube based or SS setup? It's d...
