| Stand-alone phono amps? Thanks for the answers so far but to clarify, I was wondering if there are phono preamps with volume control (like the counterpoint SA-9) that don't need a separate amp. A typical integrated with a phono stage and line stage would be an example bu... | |
| Dissapointed buyer, item malfunctions experience? You always need to try and decide the integrity level of the buyer once they complain. I have only had one bad experience as a seller on a $4000 ARC Ref-1 pre amp I sold to a guy in Japan. It was shipped in the ARC boxes with all their packing mat... | |

| PC audio is it the best next thing???? I wonder how long it will take before this thread looks silly? I'm betting three years tops before everyone has tossed their cdps this thread will look like a dinasaur | |
| First cd purchase I known mine. I was in college and hardly any cds were available so i bought Jailhouse Rock (Elvis) and Madonna's self titled cd. All the selections were on a little rack like the SACDs started out. although i still have madonna's i dont think i'v... | |
| PC audio is it the best next thing???? Well, i've done it. It's pretty cheap to try it out to hear for yourself. Everybody here has a computer. Just download iTunes rip a cd and buy a USB dac and compare. Sell the dac if you don't think it competes with your main rig. I don't know why ... | |
