Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They?
They certainly look nice. But how can any designer say a speaker will work on stands from 12" - 24" tall? That is a very broad range and if one extreme is correct, the other one has to completely wrong.Oz 
Amp recommendation for Maggies 1.6Q
You should ignore any advice that says you need a ton of power with 1.6s. What you really need is a good tube amp, Maggies love tubes. I powered my modified 1.6s with a Music Reference RM9 to seemingly impossible levels. But quality over quantity ... 
Which Phono Pre to upgrade to?
I second the recommendation for the K&K. For about $1900.00 out the door you get a world class phono stage that would be very hard to match at the price.www.kandkaudio.comOz

How far apart are your speakers?

custom made dustcover for Nottingham Spacedeck
I had one custom made at a local plastics shop. Cost me 80.00 and it looks very nice. You might try the phone book to see what's available in your area.Oz 
Looking For Single Source Tube Preamp
Depending on the size of your room and how loud you listen, you might get away with 18 watts. But remember, those speakers have two 10" woofers per side. You might not get the control down below with an SET. But if you don't tend to rock out a lot... 
Looking For Single Source Tube Preamp
Kevin,Since your Sonatas are so efficient, why don't you just opt for a tube integrated with around 40 watts/channel or so? The Eastern Elecric E-520 and VTL IT-85 come to mind as contenders. I think you will realize the sound you are seeking bett...

help turntable upgrade
If you can up your budget just a bit, Hollywood Sound currently has a Spacedeck/Ace-Spacearm on the Gon. Fabulous sounding rig that requires not much from you in the way of set up and maintenance. This one gets my vote.Oz 
Any GREAT "sleeper" amps?
I wouldn't exactly call it a sleeper, but I would call it a classic that has IMHO been very hard to beat.http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1145045928You could do FAR worse than this amp...Oz 
Anybody heard new Audio Phyisc Scorpio's???
I have always wondered if english is a second language for Chazzbo, or is he just lazy? At least I am not the only one who has noticed this....Oz 
Goldpoint Passive Preamps
Good luck Clio. Kevin is a great guy and very smart. He is always willing to help. I have been to his house a few times and it was a pleasure meeting him in person. If you are considering his phono pre you are in for a real treat.Oz

I also have Kevins SE parallel feed phono preamp in the same chasis hard wired to the TVC with two extra inputs. It has an outboard PS. So basically, this is a full function preamp that just happens to have a state of the art phono stage....;-}}}Oz 
Goldpoint Passive Preamps
My preamp is a custom job by Kevin Carter of K&K Audio. It uses the Mark I version of the S&B transformers and Seiden switches for input selection and volume control. Previously I had the Mark II's, but the original is much better, in my o...
