| What phono pre am I looking for? The new Jolida 159F phono preamp is killer! The 159 refers to the 159th circuit Jim Fosgate has designed for a phono preamp--Foz is a legend in audio circles and at 80 is still designing audio electronics. Since the previous distributor of the ... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Anticables! Speaker, Interconnect, and Power cordsCheck out their testimonials and reviews.

| Used turntable & arm combo for under $2500.0 For a turntable, check out the Sota website www.sotaturntables.com They have refurbed Sotas which are excellent values. Sota remains as one of the very best and the handcrafted quality is superb. | |
| Musical FidelityWhich Integrated is best value? I've had a Plinius 9200 for several years now. It replaced a $10K ARC/Levinson combo and smoked it! Can't comment on the comparison you asked about, but I noted that the phono on the Plinius was a tad noisy, so I inserted a Sutherland PhD. Not onl... | |
