Project Phono Box and Debut 2 TT question
Static21, I'm using the phono box (entry level) not the tube phono box. 
Project Phono Box and Debut 2 TT question
HiThanks for your reply. The debut doesn't have much to set-up. It's leveled, anti-skating weight on the correct position. When I used the phono input of the Aura VA100 intgrated amp it sounded as vinyl. Not very good but still ok. Maybe it's the ... 
Rogue Audio M-120 vs M-150
HiHiFi+ (England) latest issue reviews the M-150 very favourably. They say it's around 30% more expensive but you get twice the quality. Try to get a copy, it's worth reading. It's a beautiful magazine. 
Pathos Classic One
I don't know if it helps but I use it to drive Sonus Faber Amator2. It's great. The only issue I can think is the size of the room and volume levels. For "concert" levels or to fill a big room you probably should go up to the Pathos Logos. Otherwi... 
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors / Manley Stingray??
HiI just bought a Pathos Classic one to drive Sonus Faber Amator2 and I'm very happy. When I was buying my previous Sonus Faber (Concerto Home) I heard them with SF Musica and LOVED it. I compared it to several integrated, the first Pathos Classic...

Norah Jones CD NOT copy protected - Media Player
where are you guys from? Just bought the "Feels like Home" cd in the UK and it's copy protected. My real only problem with copy protected cd's is that I cannot copy them to my office computer. I usually do that and keep the cd's at home. But what ... 
Pathos Classic One with Sonus Faber Amator 2
Thanks for your reply. I'm sure the "in power" monos can drive the Amator2 easily.I heard the old classic one with the SF concerto home and found the sound a bit "boomy", loose. But the new classic seems to be a very different amp.As for music fro... 
In search of Power Amp replacement
How about the Krell KST-100? There's one for sale on audiogon for $1080 inc. shipping. They're not new but for the price are excellent amps. I use one with sonus faber amator 2. Many people use them with static speakers. They go down to 800 at 1 ohm.

CDP volume, what's best, analogue or digital?
Thank you all. I'm sure it was discussed before but my searches only come up with separate discussions and not pros and cons of both volume controls in one thread. Analogue seems to be the best way to go, but are the likes of Wadia doing so wrong ... 
Plinius SA-102 vs Antique Sound Labs Hurricane
HelloI've been following your threads to find out the outcome of the supratek versus plinius sa-102. My system is going in the same direction (at the moment only have the sonus faber) and would really like to know how your system sounds now with t... 
Using a 110V Preamp In The UK
PaulI also live in the UK and I'm using a 120v Audio Research LS2B MKII. Absolute Sounds quoted me £550+vat, ridiculous price, so I decided to go for the step down transformer. I've been using a 300va transformer for the past 2 years with great re...
