| Threshold T-50 vs Forte 4 ? http://www.rsvlonline.net/vintageamp/default.htm I own a T 400 and have never had any troubles. I think the price of $700 is very good, especially from a dealer. I'd go in that direction.Good luck,John | |
| Looking for advice on 2 Channel system I agree with the BAT VK-5i or 50se preamp. For speakers, I'd suggest giving the Vienna Acoustic Mahlers a listen. I also would check out the Aerial 10T's.John | |
| SS amps. Why so much power? Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. It probably depends how low of frequency your speakers are capable of too. As lower notes require substantially more power. Remember, more speaker drivers bite the dust from low powe... | |
| How do you "downgrade"? Turnaround, you just do it, and stop reading those glossy magazines. I did it, and lived happily for 7 years. Of course the fact that my children were going through developmental years helped. Coaching sports kept me distracted, sure, I didn't lis... | |
| Amp opinions- ATI-B&K-Pass Labs Go with the Pass. It's a great amp, and the Beethovens are great speakers, I know, I own 'em. Take your time upgrading. Buy the Pass, even if it makes you wait a year or so until you can upgrade your preamp. It'll be worth it to take your time, an... | |
| Is Harman Kardon Signature amps/pre-amps that bad? It's all about value. I borrowed a H/K signature Series 2.0 from my friend for a couple months while my Proceed was in the shop. He paid $450 for it as a new, 'B' stock unit. I felt he got a good value. I felt it was competative with units up to t... | |

| best ss preamp for 2000 or less used I'm happy with my Classe CP-60 w/ MM/MC phono stage. It also has a surround passthrough for my HT. List was $4200, I believe $3700 w/o phono. You can find them for less than $2K used. Good luck.John | |

| 2 Channel pre-amp...where to start... I'm currently using a Classe CP-60 that has a surround passthrough. I recently sold my Proceed processor and went back to mainly 2 channel. I bought the Classe preamp, which also has a MM/MC phono stage, as my stereo preamp. I bought a Denon recei... | |

| Copper for Solid State / Silver for Tubes ? Shak73, as Garfish said, in general I agree with you. I own mostly SS equipment over the years and I have tried several silver cables, without much success. They seemed to bright, or etched for my taste. Copper seems warmer. I've heard silver cabl... | |
| VPI record cleaning system How often do you clean your records? I'm considering buying a VPI 16.5, but I hear they are loud and run hot, on top of doing a great job. My question is this: do you have to clean a record before each playing? Or once it's scrubbed good and clean... |
