Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier
Phd...good question. I've been watching these for several months ever since reading Srajan's rave review at 6 moons. Hardly a week goes by that there isn't one, sometimes two, for sale on A'gon for as low as $1250 so far. Makes one wonder. Perhaps... 
what is the proper protocol
Umaasa...this is a good question, but judging by the response so far there clearly is no proper protocol. As of this writing 7 of the responses feel the seller should take responsibility and 6, including myself, feel that the buyer is at risk. Thi...

Which is the better Subwoofer?
You will not get the best bang for your buck with either the Velodyne or the Difinitive subs. Especially the Velodynes are over-priced and you pay for the name. I have owned many subs over the years including some very expensive high-end subs like... 
Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide
Stan, thank you for your comments. The 10Ts will be a very nice and quite significant upgrade from your 7Bs. Even better, with what the 7Bs go for used it won't cost much at all to make the upgrade as supply and demand should work in your favor. A... 
Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide
donlovejoy....thank you for your comments. I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your 10Ts. Sorry, but I do not know the manufacturer of the original woofer. But, you could always give Michael Kelly a call if you really want to know. 
Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide
Mike C…this thread was not intended to get your attention, but the attention of those interested in the 10T. In fact, your name was not mentioned at all, but only reference to your thread, a thread that I personally found misleading. I even agreed... 
Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide
Slacker…You know, the nice thing about forums such as this is one can say as little or as much as one wants. Another nice thing is you have the choice to read that which interests you and ignore that, which doesn’t. That’s just great that you foun... 
Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide
Mike C…..with your second response to my post it is clear you wish to engage me further so I guess some sort of a response on my part is obligatory. Frankly I find a bit of a competitive and argumentative edge to your latest post. It was this feel... 
turntable upgrade VPI or CLEARAUDIO?
I have owned every version of the Well Tempered table over the years from the very first ones produced. These are exceptional tables and I would not be in too big of a hurry to upgrade. The arm damping does make a difference, but easy adjustments ... 
Pre-amp that works good with Classe CA-400
Classe amps work well with both solid state and tube preamplification: Classe, Sonic Frontiers, Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, Joule Electra, Audible Illusions, Pass Labs, Plinius, Jeff Rowland, Mark Levinson, Blue Circle Audio, etc. The high inp... 
$500 Cartridge for Well Tempered Classic
Go with a Grado. Transparent Audio is no longer marketing the Well Tempered table, but their most consistant recommendation was the Grado Reference for the Well Tempered Reference table and arm. The Grados work really well with Well Tempered arm a... 
Beatles - Vinyl LPs
I have been collecting Beatles LP's for a long time and there is no question in my mind (and many others who have equal or greater experience than me) that the Japanese EMI-Odeon are the best sounding Beatles LP's. These have a black label (althou... 
Tom Evans The Vibe Feedback
I know of someone who has a great deal of experience with this preamp (and many others) whose ears I trust who says it is the best he has heard. Sorry, but I have no personal experience. My only comment regarding Tom Evans product is that as good ... 
Bryston Vs Classe
I have extensive experience with Classe and have just purchased a Bryston 4B-SST. I have always been a big fan of Classe and while I have no experience with their recent offerings I have been impressed with their older gear. I still own a pair of ...
