Tonearms: Ripoff?
I never post, just lurk. Multiple people have noted that this is a troll thread, and yet folks keep banging their heads against the wall trying to win an unwinnable argument with the OP. I dare you all to stop posting in this thread. Betcha can't ... 
Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000?
Not much has changed in my system since my last post, so I don't know how helpful I can be. Other than the addition of the Coda CLX, I've just put the A21 on a maple amp stand with Dayton Audio spikes between the stand and the floor, and replaced ... 
My Audio Research experience
Certainly appears that knghifi invented that supposed quote of thazeldean saying he bought the amp used.  
Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down.
You should use it. You're confident you've done your homework and feel that no one has raised any good arguments that it's unsafe. So why keep beating this horse? 
QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS
This has been a very useful thread. And by that I mean the parts about using Littelfuse fuses and why I won't have to worry about which way I put them in. Geoff actually did the most to convince me that fuse directionality is a myth, and for that ... 
Replace Kimber 4vs with...?
Thanks for the perspective Zd542. Brauser: I'll be running 10 feet biwired. 
Replace Kimber 4vs with...?
Somewhere I read that the 8TC can be a bit "harder" in the midrange than, say, the 8VS. Does that jibe with the experience that any of you have had? 
Replace Kimber 4vs with...?
Thanks Mcslipp. Do you mean 8TC? I couldn't find 8TS anywhere. 
Lounge LCR III vs. Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II
I haven't listened to it long enough to give a thorough review, but so far the SE II is definitely revealing more detail than the Rod Elliott ESP-06 it replaced. 
Lounge LCR III vs. Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II
For anyone interested, I bought the Black Cube SE II. 
Lounge LCR III vs. Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II
Thanks Pani.Ok, now I'm thinking either the Black Cube SE II or the Musical Surroundings Nova II. Very close in price, both well regarded. Thoughts from anyone who's heard both? 
Lounge LCR III vs. Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II
Do you own the SE or the SE II? 
Lounge LCR III vs. Lehmann Audio Black Cube SE II
Thanks Mark. This jibes with what I've read elsewhere. Still looking for owners of the Black Cube SE II to weigh in. 
Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000?
So I've had the Coda CLX in my system for a few weeks now, and I couldn't be happier with it. (I'm running it balanced with Mogami 2534 cables to my Halo A21.)Compared to the Anthem, I'm hearing a lot more detail, a deeper and wider soundstage, gr... 
Alon/Nola sound
I have Alon IIs and there's nothing bright or hard about them. Also, the overall coherence and balance is outstanding. The "problem" with them is that they are extremely revealing of everything else in your playback chain, which means if brightnes...
