| Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres Thank you all for your input.Esoxhntr,I have only excerpted part of an e-mail exchange with AJ not a phone conversation. Also, I clearly understand where AJ is coming from and I appreciate and respect his honest opinion. He should be supportive of... | |
| Avantgarde Horns - amps you've tried and love? I use Cary WE300B SE monoblocks to power the Duos and I love them both. Clarity, lushness, dynamics etc. Everyone including the Audiopax/Avantgarde dealer has loved this combination at my house. I also have a good listening room. In fact, the Avan... | |
| Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove I own a Manley Steelhead and my friend owns the Aesthetix IO. For all practical purposes they are very comparable. I find no significant flaws in either - both are dead quite, great bass, super transparency and clarity. I like the Manley for the m... | |
| Stylast compatibility ZYX cartridges Thanks, everyone. I get it. Stick with the zerodust for ZYX, which I also have and use. One last question. Are there lubricants applied directly to the record that will not leave "groove grunge" or is record contamination inherent in any directly ... | |
| 3K to 4K Phono Pre-Amp I always spend the least I can, but I am willing to spend up to 4K. Thanks for the suggestions. | |

| 3K to 4K Phono Pre-Amp Thanks s23chang.I am simply trying to learn as much as I can inorder to select a few preamps to audition. Your input is appreciated very much. The SA-5000 sounds very interesting and will require further investigation on my part!Greg | |
| 3K to 4K Phono Pre-Amp Thank you all - very interesting discourse. Clearly there is a lot of controversy surrounding phonostage preamplification and the current state of the analog art. Regardless of whether one considers a commerical or DIY endeavor, what are the key d... | |
| 3K to 4K Phono Pre-Amp Thanks for the feedback RonyW. I have a Cary SLP-98P and I have considered a step-up for it, but I was told by several audiophiles that this approach would not be ideal in comparison with a new, high quality phono preamp like a Rhea, Hagerman (plu... | |
| Where does your user name come from? I am a cardiologist, hence the name. | |
| 3K to 4K Phono Pre-Amp Thank you Dmailer for the recommendation. I have also noted others who are very supportive of the Hagerman technology. | |
| 3K to 4K Phono Pre-Amp Thank you Alanmkafton. Very interesting. I'll look into the EAR 324 as well. It reminds me of the Steelhead in some ways except solid state. I like the input for two turntables because I want to keep my VPI MKIV/SME309/Grado Reference for comparis... | |
| 3K to 4K Phono Pre-Amp Both rare birds TWL. I will keep my eyes open. Txs. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I have to join the Avantgarde Duos with SET (300B) monoblock amplification. I always think other systems are lacking by comparison after living with the Duos for a couple years. |
