| B&K preamp/tuners..... I have several B&K components, including a AVP3090 Pre/Pro. I love it. Rock solid build, sounds great in Stereo passthrough as well as 5.1 (DD and DTS). Customer Service at B&K is also fantastic. It doesn't have a tuner, so I can't comment... | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth I've bought no less than 6 new CD's as a result of this thread. All of them good. One of them I picked up is my favorite of the bunch - it's Lisa Gerrard and Patrick Cassidy: "Immortal Memory". I picked it up somewhat accidentally while surfing Am... | |

| Contour option on Rotel RC-1070 preamp I use to have this preamp. I recall trying the contour only once or twice, noticed some, but not a great amount of difference. I always left it in flat position when playing though. Someone else may be a more credible source on your question about... | |
