| Which Primaluna amp ? I've owned PrimaLuna equipment before. I bought the PL Prologue Three preamp and used it for six months before trading up to the Mystere ca11 preamp. The PL preamp incorporates an ultra-linear design configuration while the Mystere uses a push-pul... | |
| Which Primaluna amp ? Skip the PrimaLuna and go for Mystere. This is the high-end division of the same company. You don't pay any more for the upgrade but you may be happier in the long run. From my experience, you don't Mystere equipment for resale (at least not yet a... | |

| E.L.O. - Electric Light Orchestra Thanks everyone for your suggestions and feedback. I recognize that ELO is one of those bands that either works for you or repels you. It's kind of like Scotch - call it an acquired taste. I do agree with the majority of comments suggesting that I... | |

| Hook Up Revox Reel-to-Reel to Tube Preamp Thanks for the responses. I need to rethink this endeavor since it sounds more complicated than originally envisioned. I wanted to record and playback but since the tube preamp only has four source inputs and one main output, it seems like this ac... | |
| Rack/shelf for albums - suggestions please FWIW - I tried ULINE steel shelving. I went to Home Depot, bought good quality wood planking, cut it, stained it, and placed it on the the steel shelves. The project was economical and accommodated all of my stereo equipment and two shelves of LPs... | |

| APO Doors Reissues I just received the Doors Soft Parade album reissue 45rpm. I thought it sounded just fine. With a nod to the reviewer who questioned the low end being unusually absent, I second the observation. Other than that, the recording seemed entirely in ke... | |
