| New Falcon ls3/5a Silvers in the house "I was considering the VT-70 as well..but thought the absence of 16 ohm taps on the transformers may be an issue. " That’s not an issue. I doubt that you would find any modern tube amp with 16 ohm taps. BTW, I’ve owned many LS3/5a type speakers (... | |

| Replace stylus or new cartridge? I use the TLZ and prefer it to many other cartridges that I’ve owned including moving coils. BTW, if you decide to get a different cartridge PM me and I will buy the TLZ from you if the price is reasonable!! | |
| Need stand recommendation for Gershman studio IIs All great suggestions. Here is another option. I’ve used the 2 post 20 inch ones with Falcons that are the same height as your speakers and they were fine! https://skylanstands.com/index.html#stands2p | |
| Considering replacing old AR 38B You should stay away from any rear ported speaker. Check out the KLH model 3. It has an acoustic suspension woofer ( very rare nowadays ) like the AR 38B!! | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? The OP asked a legitimate question. Why all the naysayers? BTW, he has all positive feedback on this site!! | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? @onhwy61 The last time I looked the OP has it listed here. So what's the problem with that? | |

| Subwoofer and preamp output impedance I don’t see any problem. The input impedance of that amp is a high 100K! BTW, you don’t need to be an electrical engineer to do the math! Input impedance of amp should be at least 10 times the output impedance of preamp! |
