| New Marantz Model 30 @jbhiller Go to Google images, and look at the pics of the inside of the Ruby and the M30. The M30 is a "budget" version of the Ruby, no copper plating, and they may have changed a few other minor things. Read reviews on the M30 and check out ... | |
| Questioning Tannoy, Tekton or other possible change. There is NO weakest link. You have an excellently balanced system.You don't mention what it is you're trying to achieve, other than scratching the upgraditis itch.What you describe will be, at best, a lateral move (different, but at best lateral)... | |
| Seeking advice what to upgrade I'm afraid your sonic priorities are all over the place. Normally, unless something else egregious is going on, changing the speaker will make the biggest single change to the sound of a system. In your case, you mention listener fatigue. Suspi... | |

| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Can "Made in America" brands (really: assembled in America) actually claim that every last strand of wire, every electronic component, and every connector was manufactured in the US? | |
| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? Whatever happened to second-hand?There are marketing euphemisms and then there are PC-motivated name changes.Personnel becomes Human Resources, Fundraising becomes Development, etc. etc. | |

| When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B? That seems extraordinarily high for an integrated that's rated up to 120W into 8ohms and which has no external heatsinking. In fact, I find it hard to believe.When I think of high transition point amps I always think of Coda. Take a look at the ... |
