| Stepping up from Rega 25 - suggest used turntable? I lived with a rega p-25 with a benz H/O ace for about a year or so. I upgraded to a TNT JR / SME 309 for $2600 later adding a Benz Ruby H.

| jm lab mezzo /passlabs 600-good synergy? I have had a pair of mezzo`s for 2 or so years, I`ve been using a Mcintosh mc352 c42 combo it was good but I desired it to be better so after 4 months of research I purchased a BAT vk51se I can now say it`s really good. The mc352 is good amp maybe... | |
| McIntosh or BAT amps what is your preference Right now I have a mc352 it was mated w/ a c42 for about 2 1/2 years. I felt the preformance of the c42 was about 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, so I upgraded to a BAT vk51SE, what a huge differance. Remember MAC is known for their amplcation not so muc... | |

| Cabling to FM Antenna As Albert has said Radio Shack is a great source in that application. I have a 100ft dedicated 75 ohm to a external yagi w/ no rotor and can pull in stations 75 to 100 miles away with a Magnum Dynalab Etude. As for conduit if were to use a long ra... | |
| Listening Chairs My personal choice is for Ekornes, I do happen to own 2 of them. Key metric is right they do tend to cost a little more, but remember some of us spend well over 30K on our gear and when we sit down to enjoy our system you should sit in something t... | |

| TV's... what does the typical audiophile have? 50 inch mitsubishi that is 10 years old and the tuner is starting to go out. So if you turn it on the first 1 to 2 hour only channels 45-67 work properly, then after the 1 to 2 hr warm up it works properly so you dont shut it down till you go to b... | |
