| Stand out phono stages I do not know a lot about the technical side of phono stages, and I have not owned a lot of phono stages, but I can tell you that my Leben phono stage does an excellent job with MM cartridges. I can not say it is the best in the world but of the p... | |

| Experienced Jolida amp owners - Advice needed Jolida makes good tube amps.My first tube amp was a 502RC with quad 12L2 speakers.I thought they sounded great, but it all up to your ears, see if there is a local dealer so you can compare them for your self, even with your speakers. | |

| Option to decode dolby / dts NAD has a new D.A.C. Called the M51. It has HDMI inputs and should be able to decode you Dolby signal to stereo but if you want it to decode it in 5.1 or the like then you need a Processor.To make it simple, to take a digital signal and make it an... | |
| Watts up with that? Not to change that subject too much, but this sounds very similar to the argument you will get when it comes to those who believe Tube S.E.T. Amps are the best. These low powered Tube S.E.T. Amps only put out 2 to 8 watts but will still player lou... | |
