| My experience with The Music Room In the past year or so I have re-cabled my system with Audience Front Row cables, all of which are from TMR. I also purchased my VPI Classic Signature table, Bryston 28B-SST mono's, and Cary DMS-600 steamer. All purchases went well, the customer s... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 Sorry, I meant Bryston 28B-SST not 24B-SST. I guess I'm getting old. | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 I'm currently powering my Alexia's with Conrad Johnson LP275M mono's fitted with KT120 power tubes. Those have the power and finesse to do the big Alexia's justice. From time to time, I rotate them with my Bryston 24B-SST mono's. The low end grip... | |

| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 Thanks but staying with tubes, thus the ML526 is out. I would love a good VAC but about the older VC Standard Pre, nothing much ever comes up for sale. For a good reason no doubt. The Backert Labs was one I was wondering about and looks very inte... | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 I have a CD player connected for when my wife wants to play CD's, and I have a headphone amp connected as well. | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 Thank you. Yes the "Don't Fix What Isn't Broken" theory is why I've not upgraded sooner. The SFL-2 is a wonderful dual chassis preamp from back in 1995. Friends and family think my system sounds phenomenal, but that is not deterring me from trying... | |
| Help in deciding which tube preamp to replace my old SFL-2 As much as I like and respect Mac gear, I found that it did not play very well with others. I would have to go totally Mac, and I don't want to go that route. That's why I have selected the preamps that I listed. I do appreciate the suggestion tho... | |

If found, I might even jump up to the Ref Anniversary Edition. Yes, ultimately I may go the one manufacturer route. All AR, all CJ, or... | |
