Add Verus Drive to Basis or go Lenco
After a little more research I found the OMA Anatase from Oswald Mills Audio which is a finished Lenco L75 that dispenses with the orginal Lenco top plate and integrates into a heavy slate plinth (80lbs) complete with removeable arm board. Has any... 
Wyred STP-SE vs high end tube pre?
I appreciate the input. It is one of those things I would like to be true (since I get some simplification and save some $), but I suspect will not pan out. I may just try to pick one up here on the Gon to try it our and limit my potential loses i... 
Useful tweaks for Oppo 980/DTC 9.8 for MC-SACD
I just found a fairly inexpensive tweak for the DTC 9.8 that seem to provide a decent improvement in audio quality. I saw that MusicDirect had Marigo VTS dot sets on sale for half price. I bought the one for a DAC. It comes with 10 3mm green dots ... 
Useful tweaks for Oppo 980/DTC 9.8 for MC-SACD
I am runnng the Oppo via HDMI to the DTC 9.8. I was guessing other than maybe power cords on the Oppo, there might be useful tweaks on the DTC 9.8. 
2 channels Tube amp in a HT setup
I have an Air Tight ATC-2 tube pre in the output of my Integra DTC 9.8 and then have a McIntosh MC-402 amp for Front L-R that I use for my theater listening and a lot of 2-ch music. Then I have a pair of Viva Aurora SET monos (the convertible in t... 
Move from Benz H20 to Denon DL301
I am also considering a Benz L2 or maybe Reference. I have not had many other cartidges in my system so I lack that experience to base any judgements about whether I would like another cartidge. 
Wilson Sophia
I would recommend considering the Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3. I have been in this "hobby" for 20+ years. I have never owned any Wilson speakers, but have heard them on several occassions. I think the Sofia's are quite good. The Continuum 3 a... 
Best preamp match for Air Tight ATM-3s ?
I would suggest the Air Tight ATC-2 and an outboard phono stage. I have had both the Air Tight ATM2 and ATM3 amps in my system as well as the ATC-1 and now ATC-2 preamp.The ATC-1 preamp is very good....the phono section is for MM cartridge only. T... 
Review: Basis 2001 Turntable
I have had a Basis 2000 , Graham 2.0 and Benz H20 for quite some time. I ended up going with a 2000 replacing the pods/feet with 3 Walker Valid Points. One positioned between the tonearm base and platter, one sort of in front of the platter and th... 
McIntosh C-2200 or C-46 with MC-402???
I also own a MC402 amp that I use in a 2-channel and home theater set up that are in the same room. I am typically a tube guy all the way when it comes to 2 channel. I have a pair of Viva Aurora SET amps which I love, but the MC-402 is very very g... 
Any Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3 owners ?
I currently own a pair of the C-3s in a great looking cocobola finish. I will admit up front that I have liked Roy's previous designs and own a pair of his Europa's as well. I only have about 30 hours or so on these speakers so that they are not y... 
Green Mountain Europas....
I recently received a pair of Europa's from Green Mountain last week. I am waiting on a pair of the latest C-3s and in the interim bought the Europa's which I will later move to the bedroom and alternatively maybe use for recording monitors. I adm... 
VMPS QSO 626 Ribbon Versus Josephs/ Tylers
I have heard the Europa's at Green Mountain and I have also owned a pair of his Imago speakers. The Europa's are amazing and I am planning on getting a pair for a second system as I am getting a pair of his latest Coniunuum 3 for my main system. M...
