Rogue M-120 to Atma-sphere MA-1 Mk.II.2?
Generally speaking,if the speaker dips below 4 ohms,your power output will drop.I would think that the MA-1s will be a little "darker" in the top-end.That said,the mids should be a little more liquid/graceful.Bass response will vary depending on w... 
Need power amp suggestions for ProAc Response 4
I understand that Edge gives a discount to customers without local dealers.The Edge NL-10 monos {225w/ch} at 13k {list} or try contacting Bruce Jacobs {Sound World:920-733-8539}.My friend bought a set and couldn't be happier. 
Best RCA female output connector.....a CD player ?
I modified my Gamut with the Omega Mikro/In-Sound solid silver RCAs.I was shocked!Words cannot begin to describe the improvement.And-when silver oxidizes,that oxid is conductive,as opposed to copper.I am not a fan of plating anything and is usuall... 
Power Chords or Power Plants?
I would recommend the power cords.Far too many power plant/conditioners affect the power drawn by the component.Any time you insert a device into the electrical delivery system,you will deal with capacitance and inductance.This will effect the abi...

I have heard the Atmosperes m-60s on the 3.5s and was impressed.If more power and transformers are of interest,The Innersound Tube amp at 150w/ch.For Solid-state,the Edge or Gamuts.Maybe a used Lamm M1.1/2.1.What budgetary restraints are you worki... 
Tube CD player and Interconnects
Try a Mullard CV-4004,it is the military 12ax7.It will be a little quicker up-top and more dynamic than the standard Mullard.Or a Telefunken/NOS {800 series=$$}.

I believe the Schroder arms and Eurolab tables are both fine products.I would have preferred to buy them from someone who would directly deal with any problem that might occur.Instead of dealing with the problem,he was more interested in making su...

Tom, My problem was with the Schroder arm.I believe something had gone amiss in shipping.I believe it was poorly packed and with my poor vision,I assumed it might be my fault.It was proven otherwise.Hart didn't want to be involved with setting thi... 
New cartridge for my Teres/Graham setup
What price range? How about a Nottingham MM or the Red Rose/Rose Petal/Myabi {$1250-3000}.The Myabi will need a phono stage of high gain {.3mv}.I have heard high praise for the MM.Has the body of the Grados with the speed and detailing of a good M... 
Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't
I am pulling my recommendations on the Mapleshade platform/equipment rack.I waited a month and a half for two of the three platforms I ordered.I had decided to go with the "black option".When I received the platforms,they were dinged,scratched and...

I would like to withdraw my recommendation for the Audio Advancements products.I ran into some problems with the products and Hart has been unresponsive and downright rude during phone conversations,not to mention ignoring e-mails.Nobody deserves ...
