| What are the more subtle sounding tube preamps? Have a look at VTL's pre-amp. IMHO their pre-amps lean to the bright/clear side of tube pre's. Also take a listen to Mcintosh's pre's. | |
| Best Used Vinyl Shops in Las Vegas, Nev Record City and Zia Records, each have two locations. Then there is Wax Trax, most locals won't shop there, it's for the tourist, good selection but thru the roof pricing. | |
| Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes? The worst remote in from older Musical Fidelity. It was very cheap and they used a RF format that does not allow a user to replace it with a universal remote. I really liked the 308cr pre-amp and would still be using it if the remote was still a... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? Red Book most of the time, either hard drive or dedicated disc player. I have a few DVD-A's and maybe 25 SACD most being dual format, SACD/Red book. I also do vinyl. I have a fairly large collection of music and really don't need to rent more. | |
| Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes? I have a C2500 purchased as NOS factory sealed box in January of this year. The remote does not look like the one in Users Manual and it appears to have been upgraded during the production cycle. The ID number is HRO85 and it's of the same high q... | |

| Looking for a solid state preamp for Krell fpb 250m monoblocks WOW Michael, been there done that! Years ago I used a Krell FPB 200 stereo amp with Thiel CS6's. I went through a bunch of amps and pre-amps, tube and SS. With my gear the Thiels were bright and could get down right tinny at times. Tubes took s... | |

| For older guys My collection includes: Frank, Dean, Perry and Peggy. Often over looked Doris Day is a fav along with the two tribute disc from Bette Milder. Her Peggy Lee and Rosemary Clooney albums were produced by Barry Manilow. Both are just plain fun. | |
| Mac C 22 down, need advice I use a C2500 pre and it has a "Stand By" mode. With my pre, some internal components remain powered 24/7. Completely powering down the unit may "re-set" the device and really has nothing to do with the outlet. | |
| Counterpoint SA-20 I owned a SA-20 in the late 80's and loved it. Counterpoint sent an invitation to have my SA-20 upgraded to a SA-220, so the went for it. Big mistake! The amp came back sounding very different and I was pissed off at myself for having it done ... | |

| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please I wish you all the luck iberwaltz. I tried to get rid of my VTL space heaters a few years back. I used Classe and Bryston for a few months each and always went back to those room heating tubes. I gave up and later upgraded in the VTL line. | |
