| Koetsu Cartridge Question I'll second Kurt_tank's advice on not getting the Platinum Edition. 52 db of gain is not enough to drive a .25mV cartridge, IMO. I have a BAT VK-P5 with 56 db of gain and the Koetsu Rosewood Signature (.6mV ouput). I also have a Lyra Helikon which... | |
| Leaving HT for 2 channel-Good or Not? I dropped 5.1 channel music for 2 channel and have no regrets. I do have a Denon receiver with HT capability for when I feel like playing that occasional movie though. My tube preamp has a unity gain input, so I can run the preamp FR and FL output... | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? Welcome to the club Soliver. | |
| Which Solid-State Preamp under $7,000.00 New? Daltonlanny, you can throw both the Pass and the Klyne overboard for a tube preamp, hehe. | |
| Which Solid-State Preamp under $7,000.00 New? Congrats, good luck, and enjoy! | |
| Best way to clean records Another vote for the VPI 16.5, it's worth the investment. Also Record Research is the best fluid I've used, the Super Deep Cleaner is amazing. | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? Romakabi,I don't know why anyone would buy a HT pre/pro with no intention of using it for HT. Are you getting one at 75% off list? If so, I guess I could see where you are going. However, you'll still need a cd transport and a pre/pro, that's two ... | |
| Which Solid-State Preamp under $7,000.00 New? Kurt_tank,This isn't my thread, I only responded. Yes, I said the Ayre was the most nuetral, didn't I? If that's what he's looking for that's my reco. I am using a tube preamp (BAT VK-31SE), with no noise floor issues. It has more body (you may ca... | |
| Which Solid-State Preamp under $7,000.00 New? The Ayre K-1x is probably the most neutral of this group. I, however, would much prefer the musicality of the Klyne 7LX3.5 or even the Rowland Synergy IIi mentioned above. The Ayre is the most transparent, but all your software better be up to the... | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? I would say it depends on your ratio of music/HT. I was in the high end HT pre/pro (Proceed/Krell/Classe) market a couple of years ago, but then I realized that 80% of my listening was to music. I also tired of the constant upgrade versions of the... | |
| Discovery cables.... I bought a 1 meter pair of Discovery Essence a couple months ago. They replaced a pair of interconnects at more than twice the price, and flat out beat them. In every way. Smooth, good tonal balance, solid bass, great extension at both ends of the... | |

| 2ch HT spkr: Aerial 7B; Dyn S3.4; or Solil 6.3? With a amp that powerful, you will be safe with any of these choices. I've actually heard all three, and they all sounded very good. My personal preference would be the Soliloquy 6.3, but mostly because they are a much easier load to drive with a ... | |
| Amp for Vienna Acoustic Mozart speakers Budget approx 5k? I would buy a pair of Beethovens first, and then start out with around a 3K integrated. You can get a BAT or Rowland integrated for around $3K-$4K. You could get a Classe CP-60 preamp and CA-200 amp for under $3K. You would be be... | |
