Tube Preamps.....
The original poster has not stated wheather or not he wants a phono section as well.. it makes a difference in price for sure. 
Done, really done!
I have been using the same components in my system for about 20 yrs now. VPI HW19 MKiv with SAMA, Moerch UP4 tonearm (did upgrade to precision arm wand recently) Audio Note M2 phono pre-amp and step-up, Perreau PMF 1850 Mosfet amp - maybe only 10 ... 
Classical Music for Aficionados
Hello everyone. I thought perhaps some "Contemporary Music" would be of interest as well. I have about 3000 Lp’s. Some rock, jazz, folk rock but the bulk of my collection is Classical with about 800 being 20th Century only. I enjoy almost all form... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Also, I should add that I have also run my 96db S3100 with 3,10 and 30 watts - Jadis defy DA30 for years and years -  to varying effect.. all good, so the sensitivity does come into play with matching. I have found that even though they are quite ... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
No one here ever heard of or heard any modern JBL Horn/Reflex speakers? Try Everest DD66000, K2 S7500, S3100, K2 S9900, M2.. etc. I think you might be shocked by what you hear.. and NOT at a show! I run my 20 yr old S3100 with a 180 watt vintage P... 
Journey ending speakers
JBL S3100 in my room for almost 20 yrs now..   can't imagine better for me and I will keep them till I need smaller for some reason - 68 yrs old now. I have used this JBL with 3 watts, 9 watts, 30 and now 180 watts! Perreault PMF 1850. They all so... 
Time for Two Ways !
Hard to beat a BIG 2 way like most classic JBL's were. My S3100 - era 1990 - has a compression driven horn loaded tweeter that crosses over  - seamlesly - at 750hz to a 15" pulp bass driver. This is a really great listening experieince; I am still... 
Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used?
Perreaux PMF 1850. 170 watts of Mosfet power..  can't be beat for sound quality and will cost less than $1000.00.  
Vocals and upper midrange too forward?
Try a simple equalizer...   you may be pleasantly surprised! 
Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI
I don't think modding is the answer... the table either has it or it doesn't to begin with. I owned a TD124 for many years along with a VPI HW19 MKIV w/SAMMA and I can tell you that while the 124 was very good and way cool to look at, the VPI was ... 
The ever lasting diamond stylus...is it a myth or??
Awhile back when my Clearaudio Gamma S had about 3000 hours on it I sent it to Germany and asked them to re-tip it as I assumed it was nearing the end.. They sent it back and told me that it was fine and to only worry about it when it started to m... 
Corner Placement
Has anyone tried ACROSS the cornet placement? Due to the layout of my large room I have my JBL S3100 Horns placed across the corner about  9' feet out from the corner with the cabs 9' apart and my listening position also 9' away. Previous to this ... 
Why do so many sellers not show the back of components...???
Funny to come across this just now 5 minuites after asking  a poster for a shot of the back of an amp. Esp as this particular amp is unknown with nothing on line. Very poor way to try an sell something. 
Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???
For your information the the output transformers are not all gauranteed for life. I have a 20 year old Defy DA 30 with a bad transformer and not only is it not covered they do not even have a replacement for it. Jadis will, however, be happy to se...
