| Need to upgrade but what to get need advice This can be a substantial crossroads which requires a solid goal in mind. Your already have two systems with a display in between speakers.

| Which USB converter to use with a Berkeley DAC? Your kidding, right?

| New cartridge - Benz Micro or Ortofon Cadenza? Simply too many variables and subjective tastes to give a recommendation. Cartridge suspensions get stiff and the stylist wear down over time. Reading comparisons as a result of replacement of older cartridges is questionable at best.I have been u... | |
| Is the BAlabo BC-1 MKII Preamp the reigning King? YES, the absolute king! I'm not just saying that because these products are produced in the County and State I live in. In a personal conversation with an industry manufacture and distributor who regularly advertises in the audio periodicals, I wo... | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? An Audiophelleo converter may be of interest to you. Personally, I'm rethinking my digital front end. This is way out of your budget but... I recently listened to an Antipodes Reference Server/Streamer in a direct comparison with an SSD upgraded 2... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Bol, I find it odd that the original poster was questioning the use of a pair of tube mono blocks with his speakers and your first comment was to put down MIT cables. Why?As I said, I respect your conclusions even though, as in the past, the bulk ... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Woodworker, I'm driving my older Eidolons with a pair of Bob Carver VTA 180s.Their actual output power is questionable but they do a very good job of driving the Eidolons. The Carvers have a 2 ohm tap (I use the 4 ohm) which is not common on tube ... | |

They do not seek out product reviews or advertise full page and glossy back cover adds in the audio press. The fact is... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Bo, before putting a product down get the story correct. If I'm not mistaken, Spectral suggests the use of MIT cabling with their electronics.

| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? If the S8s sound better than the Salon 2s to you then don't waste your money on hifi speakers.Go to the nearest guitarded center and audition some JBL EONs and the sub. If you like what you hear start looking for a used setup. | |
| new speakers for studio? Salon 2, Wilson.... I have what you would call a small studio or a very large recording booth. I mainly record upright and some electric Bass tracks and send them on to the clients post production. This is how much of what you hear in commercials is recorded. It suck... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Changes in design to accommodate the KT150 output tube. I'm guessing those are photos of the older 180 and or 305 amplifiers. KT150 have a unique tear drop shape. Personal build and delivery of every product! | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I think its very important to keep things in an audible perspective. Personally, I considered every published review I read of Carvers Tube products. Even more, I valued every account of personal satisfaction written by people who invested in purc... | |
