SFL-1. That is the way to go. AMM 3A? Well rated, terrible service. 
Parasound P/LD-2000
Ask Daltonlanny, a member. I believe he has one. Supposedly very well built and running with a Class A output stage. Not a looker, but sonically very decent. 
My Moerch DP-6 just arrived
I saw the damping being done on mine, 1 week ago from the distributor. Need to be conservative with it. It has two places where you can use it. One, the mount of the arm, for it not to bob left or right. Use about 1mm, initially. You will notice t... 
Cartridge choices under $300
Denon DL-103...There is a store in Germany that sells it around $150, instead of the $225 that you need to pay for when through Audiocubes. The owner of Galibier turntables (a ala Teres) was raving about it in Audiocubes. TWL, a member here has a ... 
New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5
Going back to your questions about the sonic benefits of getting a tubed preamp and a SS amp, it has to do with the sonic qualities you might like. Bryston, is fairly neutral but to some, this might be too cold or unemotional. When you add the rig...

New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5
You are asking for the holy grail. I believe that the only preamp that sort of match your needs is an older BAT-3P? All BAT preamps are balanced and this one has remote and even an optional phono card. Tube changes should not worry you much....but... 
New Amplifier: Bryston 4B ST or Pass Aleph 5
Not all tubed preamps are pricey. If I were you, I would watch carefully until a First Sound Presence Deluxe MKI comes up for sale. Its newer sibling made deep ripples about 4 years ago on a Soundstage.com review. The MKI version price floats betw... 
The Naim sound....vs. Bryston,creek,etc....
I am going to participate on a gathering, and the main gear of choice will be Naim. The expensive separate ones etc... This will be in 1 week. From other people I know, people who are into various things such as SET and SS, large speakers, the las... 
Can I put receiver and CD player on top of my sub?
No. Not recommended. Ideally speaking, some serious referrence speakers have their crossovers mounted outside, on a separate box. Why would you want to shake the mounts and other components of a CDplayer and other gear on top of a subwoofer.If spa... 
Breaking Bang&Olufsen Beogram RX2
I checked the Audio Blue Book and it states that your turntable is from 1987....could be newer though. The issue with B@O turntables is their cartridge. You need to get theirs because nothing else will fit.It seems to be that at least you can get ...

Help...Need a New Amp
DNA 225 cannot go wrong with this amp. I have had it for about 4 years. This is the one amp that has always stay put through all changes I have had in my system. It is the only one I paid almost full retail price and guess what? I never had buyer'... 
Please help me I am in trouble with my new table..
Send it out and pay the $75 worth of trouble to get the arm repaired properly. I am sure with the small are of soldering, there is little margin of error. $75 investment for 1 hour of a good technician's time is not expensive, in consideration to ... 
Samsung? or Luxman?
Wow. I am from Korea, and I never regarded many companies in Korea to be able to produce real, audiophile grade gear. That Samsung is massive. I wonder how it really sounds. The latest and greatest of Korean companies making amplification and sour...
