| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD For anyone who has been following this discussion, there is currently an Overdrive SE for sale in the classifieds.

| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? The Herron VTPH-2, as several other members with impeccable pedigree have already mentioned, is a terrific unit. I had one and loved it. I foolishly sold it a few years ago and have regretted it ever since.Recently, I found a great deal on an Alln... | |
| Berkeley Alpha Reference run direct I had the Berkeley and very definitely preferred it with a preamp in the chain, in my case a Tube Research Labs DUDE. Very nice combination.Of course, if you love the sound you already have, it might be prudent to just leave it at that. As an audi... | |

| Calling All Analog Gurus! What to do about my vintage Signet TK7LCa? Problem solved! I started from scratch, raised the VTA a smidge, re-cleaned the stylus, and reset all of the connections.

| "Good tube Integrated Amps" I am thoroughly enjoying my Jolida 3502, which can be had for less than half of your budget of $4000. It is versatile, dynamic, and sounds great.You might also check out the PrimaLuna line, which a lot of people like. | |
| Calling All Analog Gurus! What to do about my vintage Signet TK7LCa? Acman3, thanks for some useful feedback. I am going to give it another cleaning tomorrow, including the old Magic Eraser approach, and will also fiddle with the VTA. I have the VTF at about 1.5g--does that sound about right to you?I didn't pay ver... | |
| Can Aurender Dance With The Empirical Audio Overdrive SE? I have contacted Steve and the folks at Aurender, and after some initial uncertainty, it appears that there will be no problem using them together. In fact, one member here used another Aurender model with his Overdrive SE with great success, in h... | |

| Anybody into 80s big music? How about the Romantics, Simple Minds, and the Psychedelic Furs? | |
| Auditorium A23 Record Mat? I did. Two and a half times the cost for minimal, if any, sonic advantage. That seems to be the consensus, from what I've read. Of course, as always, YMMV. |
