| Best XLR IC's for around $300/pair? Definitely consider the Mogami 2534. I bought a 6 foot pair, terminated in Neutrik XLR's and paid $90! If your equipment is truly balanced and doesn't use a pseudo balanced circuit, you may be very pleased. It's been pointed out on other threads b... | |

| Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp?? The best pre-amp I have ever owned was a CJ 17LS2. You should easily be able to find one in your price range. | |

| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? The SACD 1000 was likely the single most unreliable piece of hi fi in the last 25 years. 100% eventual failure rate and no available repair. I have a Mitsubishi TV in my basement, bought in 86, that just won't die. | |
