| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels Shoot for a sat/sub system. Getting bass out of the main speaker is a real plus. Most of the real high end speakers are sat/sub! I have a pair of Warfdale Diamonds (biamp) that sound quite good with a powered sub | |
| SS integrated amp for under 2k PS Audio GCC series | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question If you are using RCA cables, get a cheap CD/DVD player for such burn in. Also, ISOTEK makes a terrific burn in disc. Not sure about needing your pre to be on | |

| Worth it to upgrade to Rega P3? Consider upgrading to a suspension system of isolation.Go to Machina Dynamica website, then Promethean Springs. Somewhere there is an article on the effects of vibration.I use 2 sets-one for my amp the other for my CD player. | |
| Preamp for McCormack DNA-125 Gold? Budget $2k Balanced I/Os does not mean the component is a differentially balanced design. Unless the McCormick is, I would sell it. Actually, I would sell it either way...You can buy a new Wyred 4 Sound SX 250 for this. There's a pair of SX 500 monos on AG f... | |
| Bi-amping using ACCUPHASE electronics You will need an active XO. Try either DBX or Behringer CX 2310 < $200 from Musician's Friend. I have both, but use the Behringer as it also has a sub woofer I/O | |
| need advice for turntable footers Consider Machina Dynamica Promethean Springs. I use them under my amp and CD player. Should be awesome under a Rega TT- and a lot cheaper. FYI I has SP/Rs under ALL my equipment before switching to Herbies isocup/balls and Promethean Springs | |

| Tube preamp with SS amps and Emerald Physics cs2? If you go with a tube pre it needs to be a fully balanced design so as to match up properly with the active XO, and W4S MC amp. Vincent just introduced a reasonbly priced fully balanced tube pre. | |
| Passive Preamps? Anyone? I have tried most of the 5 recommended above, and a few others. They ALL left me with great detail but no warmth or body to the music, though the TVS types were by far the most natural sounding.I am now using a Raysonic 168 CD player, which has a ... |
