Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400?
YO PHDGot a 400. Just bought a Plinius SA102. The Plinius sounds damn good, its dynamics in class A are amazing. They slam you back to the wall. But - I blew some fuses in it (my fault) and have the CJ hooked up now - backup! The Plinius is a bett... 
Tubed preamp suggestions?
You're going to want that Syrah back. Should have just bought a Denon 103R for $250 - great cartridge. would have been a done deal. 
Budget MC cartridge for a Rega P3 &Supratek Syrah?
I disagree with C123666's post about the Dynavector working well with the Syrah. I also have a Supratek Syrah, and I had the Dynavector 10X4 when I got the Syrah. Though the Dyna is a great cartridge and I loved it with a previous phono pre... it ... 
About the B&W 700 series and CDM NT series
sorry to be a naysayer but... dude???? You're comparing a cheap harsh tweeter kevlar driver box with one of the most influencial and dynamic speakers available at any price, they are, THE WILSON WP7??? WOW 
Supratek vs. Thor?
Take a look at your Syrah, then look at a picture of a Thor. I'd never trade my Syrah for a plain-jane looking preamp that may/may not sound better - certainly not a huge dif. in fidelity 
Dynaudio Confidence C3 vs. SF Guarneri Homage
Listen to them both. They're very different. You're likely to like one of them and not both of them. 
Question about Dyno 1.3SE and the new S 1.4???
The Dynaudios are very system dependant, and with bright room and / or bright electronics, will be fatigueing over time, and ultimately a mismatch.However, with the right eleectronics, the S1.4s and other Dynaudios are completely non-fatigueing to... 
Rega P25 question
Benthor - Yes, I have the Rega P25. 
B&W Signature 805s v. Merlin TSM-Ms ?
Get a new wife. Why'd you marry someone that won't let you enjoy your hobby? 
Preamp Deal of the Century
What would be the bigger upgrade... Upgrading the stock tubes on my Syrah to ??? or upgrading my Denon 103 to a 103R ??Thanks!Todd 
Rega P25 question
If you have a Phonoe stage that can handle low-output MC, try a Denon DL103 (or the 103R). I have the 103, bought the thing for 200 bucks, and it really is amazing. I previously had the Dynavector 10x4 which I certainly did enjoy, but I enjoy the ... 
B&W 805 versus Dynaudio 52SE
Our opinions are meaningless. Listen for yourself, and you tell me the strengths/weaknesses of each.Todd 
Correlation: Money and Good Sound
TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS REALLY COOL!!!! LOL 
Plinius SA250 or Gamut D200
Buy the Plinius - Not only will it sound better than the Gamut, the company has a stronger presence and existance in the market - which usually has a direct correlation to quality of customer service.By the Way - I use a CJ Sonographe 400 with Dyn... 
Which preamp to pair with Moon W5 amplifier?
Your electronics outclass your speakers by a large margin. If you're looking for more midrange liquidity - I would take an encompassing look outside of B&W.
