| Phono Preamp Recommendations +1 for Sutherland 20/20.I have owned a Ph3D which was the predecessor to the 20/20.I now own the N1 Preamplifier and it is simply state of the art! | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers You would do well to check-out the Wilson Benesch webpage at http://wilson-benesch.com/ I have been living with the Vertex model in the Geometry Series: http://wilson-benesch.com/geometry-series/ for over a year now.No offense to any of the other... | |
| Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000 Some very good suggestions have already been offered. Take a look at Wilson-Benesch Geometry Series: http://wilson-benesch.com/geometry-series/I own the Vertex model which is pretty much the entry level in the series. Superb!Happy hunting | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 I would recommend the PolyTable SUPER12 by George Merrill. Link: http://hifigem.com/PolyTableSUPER12.htmlCheck it out! | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... atmasphere & kosst_amojan Both make compelling and sensible contributions on this subject.Excellent choices for solid state do exist. I know for certain that you would have to pry my Sutherland N1 preamp from my lifeless hands. Same goes fo... | |
| Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do +1 for Kimber Bifocal-X | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used handymannNothing could be further from the truth that a TT has little to do with the sound.The analog chain is much more complex than you are currently appreciating. Do yourself a favor and do some reading provided on this link: http://hifigem.c... | |
| TT mats handyman,I too, have an older VPI TT with a heavy metal platter. I am using the GEM Dandy R.C.C. (Rubber Cork Compound) Turntable Mat. Designed and sold by George Merrill. BTW "GEM" are Mr. Merrill's initials. He sells many well designed analo... | |
| Balanced Preamp recommendations up to $5,500 Unless you are heavily invested in balanced interconnects and components with balanced input connectors, I am baffled by your criteria that limits the preamplifier to balanced inputs and outputs. | |
| Shopping for Interconnects Yes that is the correct Belden Cable on your above link. My reference regarding Nickel vs Gold Neutrik male RCA's is for example. My mono block amplifiers have Nickel Female RCA's and my Preamplifier has Gold Female RCA's. So when I custom made... | |
| Shopping for Interconnects Quick addendum to my above post.If you don't have the soldering equipment or skills then take your components to an electronics repair shop and have the technician do the work for you. | |
| Shopping for Interconnects I purchased an adequate length of Belden 9259 on eBay and the RCA's from Parts ExpressGold Male RCA's https://www.parts-express.com/neutrik-rean-nys352g-rca-plug-connector-gold--092-112Nickel Male RCA's https://www.parts-express.com/neutrik-rean-n... | |
| Balanced Preamp recommendations up to $5,500 The Sutherland N-1 may be a bit out of your price range but not by much and it is strictly single ended. Maybe the best preamplifier on the planet.

| Bi Wire vs Speaker Jumpers I am using Kimber Bifocal X with WBT CU locking bananas on both ends. Wilson Benesch Loudspeakers include a set of their proprietary jumpers but I elected to bi-wire from the beginning. Simply heaven and I don't believe that I wasted my $$. I do... | |
| Shopping for Interconnects I would take exception to recommending the Belden 89289 or the 1505f.Even after trying the much lauded 8402 they all fell short of the 9259! Very highly recommended. |
