| Pream question Strange that the BAT 51 and the LS-25 should be the same price used. The BAT was a $10k unit when new and the LS-25 a $5500 unit. I'd get the BAT, if you can deal with the heat from the eight 6H30P valves. I hope it comes with the remote, though. ... | |
| Merrill Teranis amp -- A Review Looking forward to the next installment. The $2500 is very attractive, and the balanced inputs would suit my BAT preamp. I am looking for an alternative to the Lamm ML2.1s on hot summer days.(PS: one of the photos on the Merrill web site seems wro... | |
| Thorens TD 160-significant upgrade possible $1500? You did not mention the tonearm you have on your TD-160. I owned one back in 1982.

| Review: Daedalus Ulysses V2 Speaker Thanks for your review - it was a pleasure to read. I've admired the Ulysses and it's nice to hear from someone who has paired them with such a nice system as you have. The amp combination you own is lovely.Given their sensitivity they could be a ... | |
| How do ARC's latest amps stack up to Lamm? The ARC amps make a lot more power than the ML2.2 and would suit a much wider range of loudspeakers. But if you have the right sort of speaker, there is something pretty magical to the sound of the ML2.1 (which I own), and I assume the ML2.2 is cu... | |
