| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! Among many the 57 is still considered the best speaker ever produced !http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-12-most-significant-loudspeakers-of-all-time/ Give this place a call. They have a great reputation!http://www.quadsunlimited.us/ | |
| Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp If you have no plans on using a low output mc cartridge this Quicksilver is what I use. It is all tube and you can use any cartridge from .5 mv and up. Point to point wired and made in USA!http://quicksilveraudio.com/products/phono-preamp/ | |
| Upgrade for Totem Mani 2 You should check out Harbeth. The M30’s go for about $3500 used and the 7’s about $2500 used. They both would be a nice match with the Pass amp. They are an easy load and sound great with the type of music that you prefer! | |
| Upgrade for Totem Mani 2 What is your budget? | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II Before you ditch the cartridge you should lower the VTA. Sometimes that will fix a sibilance problem!https://www.gcaudio.com/tips-tricks/cartridge-alignment-the-basics-explained/ | |
| Dad needs phono stage recommendation for daughter You have many choices within your budget. Make sure that the one you choose will have enough gain for the cartridge that you are using!

| Stereo Subwoofer Pairing If they are identical there will be no problem using the two! | |
| Amp match for a paradigm signature s2 system This Van Alstine is a bit above your budget. It is a 3 channel amp and it is new ! https://avahifi.com/collections/solid-state-power-amplifiers/products/synergy-240-3-home-theater-amp... | |
| Why the volume drop for this .5mv cartridge As long as you get sufficient volume at the 3:00 setting you should not worry about it. IMO, you are better off with the volume control when it is in the upper range than the lower range of the amp! | |
| Faint speaker hiss If you only hear it with your ears 3 inches from the tweeter, don’t worry about it. I hear a slight hiss from my phono preamp ( tube ). If you don't hear anything from your listening position why bother with it? | |
| additional processing and customs charges on goldring 1006 or nagaoka mp150 LP gear sells both of those brands without those charges!https://www.lpgear.com/ | |
