| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD The Sonata comes in three versions. I use the Sonata with 1.5 mv output which is known as the Sonata VPI version. Call Grado and they will give you the info on this. | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Check out Quicksilver audio. Mono amps are all he makes. | |
| Afraid to buy new speakers Get yourself a speaker with a sealed woofer. The Harbeth P3ESR or Spendor 3/5r's are both excellent and can be placed anywhere. If you think you need a sub, mate them with a SVS SB-1000 and you will have an ouststanding system within your budget. | |

| Change a 2 channel amp to a mono block amp Do the speakers have bi-wire option? If they do you can bi-amp them! Otherwise like Mofi said,forget it! | |
| SDS or phono stage Get a nice tube phono preamp like the Croft Acoustics RIAA for $995. | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? Are you sure that the fuse rating are exactly the same? Some 2 amp are 250 volts and some are 125 volts! Do you really hear a difference with the fuses? If not just go back to the standard ones and avoid the problem! | |
| Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? Check out the Nikko Gamma 1,it is a real nice analog FM only tuner. There is usually a few on Ebay for about $100.00. |
