| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? @yoyoyaya We're peas in a pod. Nice to meet you. I'd like to share one more observation if I may.

| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? @dgluke WTF? @yoyoyaya I agree. Fortunately I can turn off my musician brain and turn on my music lover brain.

| What phono preamp are you using? @vuch You're one lucky guy. Enjoy! | |
| What phono preamp are you using? @vuch Congrats on the Herron, another outstanding phono stage. This product is no longer produced. Where did you find a new one? | |
| Looking for a tube phono pre The Black Ice Audio Fusion F159 is half the price of the Chinook and has electronic azimuth adjustment which the Chinook does not. Sound quality is outstanding, especially if you can't or do not know how to adjust azimuth properly, giving the F159... | |
| PS Audio PowerPlant 12 Review (AC Regenerator) A friend of mine sold his expensive PS Audio regenerator after auditioning the Puritan Audio system (PSM136, RouteMaster, GroundMaster-City) with his stereo. | |
| Time for a new MM cartridge SoundSmith is another good option. They only charge 20% of retail when it comes time to rebuild. | |
| MM vs MC Cartridges I prefer well made MM/MI cartridges to MC. I'm currently running the Grado Statement3 on my SME 20/3. Several folks that have heard this rig have also switched from MC to MM, one retiring an expensive Air Tight. In your price range, I would recom... |
