How good is Electraglide?
I don't doubt the sincerity of "A Sanctuary Of Sound" but at some level some issues may go back to the manufacturer. So far consumers and a dealer have left little doubt about some level of customer contempt. In the big scheme of things I can't im... 
How good is Electraglide?
Hhhmmm, let me get this. A dealer recommends going through a dealer. The manufacturer sells direct. The dealer can't defend the manufacturer's customer service policy because his policies "have a tendency to first and foremost look out for his own... 
Amps get all the thunder, what about preamps?
Are you interested in a traditional pre-amp with a phono stage? Do you have specific MM and/or MC requirements? If not for a little more money a used TacT might offer the biggest bang for the buck. 
B&K vs. Aragon
I'm not familiar with your speakers. Amps and speakers require more attention when being matched than most other combinations. I mention this because my experience with B@K components lead me believe that while the ST-140 has some nice qualities t... 
consensus on passive preamps?
I have gone from passive to active for practical reasons. When my child was born in seemed prudent to move as much equipment away from curious fingers as possible. Longer interconnects were required and the demands for a sucessful passive system w... 
any comments on the threshold fet ten/hl pre-amp?
Sean, I agree that having more "reviewers/audio scientists" would be most advantageous. While our ears are the measurement tool that demands the highest criterion priority.While our ears may be the most sensitive measuring device they may also be ... 
Collective letter s to Stereophile
I'll play devil's advocate. Perhaps Stereophile prefers to review products from established manufacturers with wide distribution and the resources to follow up with customer service. The magazine has more appeal if it can lead consumers to product... 
any comments on the threshold fet ten/hl pre-amp?
Edle, if I am following you correctly, you are implying that tubes are poor at simple replication yet superior at complex replication. Perhaps tubes present a sound closer to what we desire but solid state presents a sound that is closer to the or...

How important is "brand name"?
Bbtuna, summed it up rather well. Lets remember that many of todays top names started out in garages. Today it may be more challanging to have the same growth due to more established competition, but the earlier pioneers may have had greater risk ... 
"RECORDING OF THE WEEK"?????
A friend turned me onto "carnet de routes" "suite africaine" Just when I was starting to give up on Jazz (nice that the young lions seem to respect thier elders, but am I missing thier contribution?) Rather than Africans amongst Europeans, it's Eu... 
Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
I used to live across the street from an urban High school.My system always sound better the longer school was out. This became more obvious after a new high tech computer annex was constructed. 
What group do you wish would be remastered?
I would like to see just about every Jazz/Rock fusion recording remastered, especially those from the mid 70's. I'm not an analog purist by any means, but the rush to market for these CD's left me longing for the original LP's. As far as the Rolli... 
Best transport for TacT 2.2 ?
Glreno, thank you for your infomative follow up, it's very much appreciated. Any one else, want to share thier choice of transport with TacT? 
Bad luck W/ Musical Fidelity DAC
While product reliability may be an issue, it appears that both manufacturer and dealer have reacted in a most professional manner. Let us praise them for appropriately dealing with matters in which they do have control. Not living up to reviewer ...
