Has anyone tried EAT KT88's in their power amps
Are the Black Treasures Grade A and where did you get them? That is a great price. 
Is MOFI L. Ronstadt Prisoner in Disguise better?
I totally understand the VTA adjustments and the differences they make. I do have the Simple Dreams original and it sounds pretty good. I have not heard the mOFI nor do I plan on making the purchase after my recent experiences. The one newer MOFI ... 
Is MOFI L. Ronstadt Prisoner in Disguise better?
I found the mofi to be lacking in the analog sound that I want from a record and sounded very digital. Bass goes much deeper on the original. JD Souther and Linda sound more dynamic on the original. Instrument Timbre sounded more natural on the or... 
Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp?
I have heard the Ars Sonum at Merlin Music Systems and I was pretty impressed with the sound. I think it was about thirty watts but it did not sound like 30 watts to me at least. I believe that is an EL34 powered amp. I think it is lead free

I agree with Verneal. I doubt the Mac player would disappoint.

Todays new vinyl LP's better than LP's 40 yrs ago?
I now am listening to The Byrd's "The Fifth Dimension" the newer release on Sundazed. This record does not sound that bad. Sundazed did not ruin this one but I can't even imagine how the original must have sounded. So, there not all awful but many... 
Todays new vinyl LP's better than LP's 40 yrs ago?
I am listening to Linda Ronstadt "Heart Like A Wheel" on Capitol, the original release. It is in great condition and sounds wonderful, something I expect when I listen to records and am more often disappointed with the new releases that I am just ... 
i want a buy my first MC, MC252 or MA6600 ?
spend a little more, get the 402 and be done. It is a great amp and worth the extra $ 
Is MOFI L. Ronstadt Prisoner in Disguise better?
The MOFI was a disappointment because I am expecting superior fidelity for 35.00 a copy. While it is barely listenable, I could have gone to the flea market for a better copy than I already have and paid about 3 dollars for it. Not only is the ori... 
Pre + phono under $2500?
When you say transparent, it could be other things, usually speakers and cables have a lot to do with transparency. I heard the Harbeths hooked up to McIntosh gear and it is close to the most transparent sound I have ever heard
