| Conrad Johnson TEA 1 phono preamp--versus TEA2SE- thanks. cannot find anyone that can provide any perspective on on units with Bob's step up (which I am using) and the TEA1----it's a LOT of money for this upgrade-------so was hoping to find somebody to comment if they had any experience in rega... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? I understand that some of us have the TEA2 SE--and I also, have one of Bob's step up transformers so that my Dynavector cartridge will perform----My question is---does anyone have any experience with the TEA 1--with the built in step up transforme... | |
| ANYONE TRY PURCHASING KUBALA ON THIS SITE? already sent cables to Joe to evaluate---verified the serial numbers with him prior, and they matched up. Something is way off with the soundstage versus my other Kubala Emotions. Only my dealer from now on. Everyone has a budget. And this is a ve... | |

| AudioQuest SKY revisit I purchased a pair of Sky's about two months ago.I have tried using them for CD transport. Pre to Amp. etc.They simply sound brittle compared to my Niagras.On some cuts--they do shine. They have better clarity.But overall, I always go back to the ... | |
| romulus pandora-cd/dac player Purchased the Romulus CD player. The difference it has made in my system is more than significant. Sound is tighter, deeper.--soundstage, broader. Vocals, richer. Subtle nuances of all are there--as in not before. I could go on but no point in tha... | |
| Interconnects--power cords? I am finding that the Niagras simply sound more soulful--warmer--yes, I sacrifice some detail---but the overall sound is far more pleasing when spread across the entire spectrum of music l listen to---May try the the Audioquest Skys with the video... | |
