| Preamp with Tuner What I will say is that a great tuner with a fair antenna is a worse choice than is a fair tuner with a great antenna. I also discovered that some tuners are very sensitive to RF radiation and that LED bulbs can be huge RF polluters. Fortunately, ... | |
| Preamp with Tuner The Tuner-Preamp was never a wildly popular item. I owned an Adcom GTP 500II which was nice. | |

| Conrad Johnson Classic Sixty I think tube amps and ss amps tend generally to have different bass quality. If you did a frequency response check, I doubt that a steady state frequency response check would show much difference.But dynamically, there is a tremendous difference i... | |
| Pass Labs 150.8 and XP-20 versus PrimaLuna Dialogue Premier HP integrated XP20; few reasons. The '20 has a way about it that the '10 doesn't quite have. Perhaps it's the more robust power supply. I would call it better micro dynamics. Having a tape loop was a plus for me too. | |

| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? I think someone in an apartment should seriously consider a high quality headphone and headphone amplifier combination. | |
| Shure Audio Obstacle Course Records My brother in law has the Era II, along with an ancient Dual with his V15 Type II cartridge. All of which he bought in the late 60's. | |
| Speaker cables if your amp isn't between your speakers For years I had the amp off to the side. Bought equal length cables. I figured that if I ever wanted to sell the cables, equal length was the way to go | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? So I heard from the folks that I brought my MR78 to for recapping. They advise that some of the caps inside are just a few years old, and some are original. Apparently someone tinkered around inside several years back. I'm told the work was neat a... | |
| Thoughts on my Sim Moon 260D CD player Of the transports you list I've only heard the neo 260d which is excellent and is what I presently have I'm using it with a Bricasti M1 DAC and am thrilled by my digital playback. Best CD playback I ever had in my home |
