| Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3 Analogue is not like digital when it comes to upgrades. With digital, you get something new and it sounds better than what you had, and you are happy for a while. After the newness wears off, you feel compelled to upgrade again. Analogue isn't lik... | |

| Tube preamp for SS amp "12-25-13: Chad2635Thanks for all the feedback. Based on all the research I've done I'm leaning towards 6SN7 or the 6922. I have had my eye on the cj et3se however I'm not sold on the volume control that it uses (push button/remote) and I'm not su... | |
| Good mid-priced speakers for vintage Mac? Speakers are a very personal choice. What have you heard so far that you liked? | |
| Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3 I've never had any problems with the unipivot design in my VPI TT's as well.More importantly, though, the components that you are looking at are very expensive for someone who's just getting started with analog. Its pretty risky. What if you don't... | |

You may have to use the SE inputs on the amp. However, I've been able to fix the problem in the past with cables. Audioquest IC's wit... | |

| The quest "12-24-13: Buconero117Yes, hold on to your vinyl as digital will never end in trying to empty your pocket book."Silly comment. An audiophiles pocket will be always be emptied; digital or no digital. | |
| Intractable Problem "I tried making the receiver do a pre amp out into the power amp but I can't figure out how to do it on the remote."To check the amp by itself, turn the gain controls on the back of your amp all the way off and then plug a CD player directly into ... | |
| CD copies What are you going to use the copies for? | |
| Intractable Problem Make sure the level controls on the back of your amp are set exactly the same. If that doesn't help and the system sounds good aside from the volume issue, lower the gain on the louder channel until the volume is equal. | |
| Impedance mismatch question What are the components? Its possible someone here has used the same amp/preamp combo and can give you some advice. | |

| What do I need to set up digital music server? "4) good USB cable to go to a USB DAC or USB converter - $450"Steve,Why so much for the USB cable? You don't have to sell me on the benefits of using good cables, but $450 seems a bit high when looking at the cost of the other components you recom... | |
| Best speaker cables for ML SL3's? I ended up with Tara The 2's for speakers and IC's. Audioquest and Kimber Select were also very good. The SL3 is a great speaker. Looking at your system, though, I say don't waste money right now buying cables. Upgrade your preamp, or maybe even y... |
