| How good is Aesthetix audio? I owned the Calypso Eclipse preamp and the Atlas Eclipse (including Eclipse casework) stereo amp until recently. I was very happy with them. Great sound. Fully balanced and dual mono so very quiet and detailed with lovely full midrange. The ca... | |
| Buying Used Equipment on the Internet You might consider a site like The Music Room for a first used purchase. It will likely be a little more expensive, but a much more controlled environment for your first purchase. I've sold quite a bit of gear with them and always have a good ex... | |
| Best Phono Preamp mm/mc under $3500.00 used Zesto Andros 1.2. Beautiful sounding tube phono stage. I have it feeding a D'agostino Momentum HD and MxV monos. It isn't over matched or outclassed at all. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Harry Chapin "Greatest Stories Live" Is an album full of well sung stories. "A Better Place to Be" is a bit schmaltzy but I have to admit I smile every time I listen to it. | |

| Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k Some thoughts on two I've personally owned.Rogue Cronus Magnum II (not the most current III). My experience, others may have had very different experiences.Pros: Located in America, nice people, you can call them on the phone. Very heavy and po... | |
| BNC and USB from streamer to DAC I suggest you only have one cable connected at a time if you are comparing input types or cables. Since a lot of the potential difference may be some form of noise transmission by the cable, having both connected at the same time wont remove that... | |
| Phono pre amp At the more expensive end of the spectrum I love my Zesto Andros 1.2. There are lots of reviews to find online. It has separate MM and MC inputs so it could accommodate both tables. Easy access to controls and loading on the back, no dip switch... |
