| Phono stage with gain control? I agree with Tvad that the WPP200C is the way to go. I had both the WPP100C and the WPP200C at the same time. I, as well as others, whose opinions I trust found the WPP200C to be quieter and more involving with a bit better dynamics. These were co... | |
| Sonic Frontiers preamps tube eaters?? I don't know about the Line series, but I had an SFL-1 and now have an SFL-2. They are both very quiet and easy on tubes. I have used new and NOS tubes and had no problems whatsoever. | |
| glass shelves under components? I had a glass shelf rack at one time and on the advice of a friend tried a very simple solution that worked for me. I purchased some 12" bicycle inner tubes at Wal Mart, one for each component. I inflated them so they would slightly flex under the... | |
| Opinion on Sonic Frontiers SFM-160 monoblocks I say go for it. They're very nice amps. I had a pair for 10 years before I went the SET route. Never had a bit of problem at all with them. I agree on the retube. My favorite output tube with these amps was the Ei KT-90. The KT-90 seemed to do ev... | |
| question on pwr cords Nsgarch, Thank you for your explanation about function of the home electrical system vs the power cord. I, too always wondered why I needed a power cord of a thicker guage than the house wiring. I do hear a difference with an aftermarket PC vs oem... | |

| What outlet should I choose..... Go with the Porter Ports. I'm glad I did. | |
| MC vs MM - phono cartridge Elizabeth explained things very well. Go with the moving magnet. | |
| Phono preamps For the price, it's hard to beat the Bellari VP-129. Sounds much more expensive than it is. There's one for sale for $200 brand new. | |
| Best tubes for Sonic Frontiers 80 I'm using the Ei KT-90 Type 3 in my SFM-160s. I completely agree with Jeffreybehr. I also purchased mine from JSPHT8338 and have been completely satisfied. | |
| mother passed away - pro recording help needed Dennis-My sincere sympathy on your loss. I experienced the loss of my wonderful mother under similar circumstances with a misdiagnosis and numerous mistakes by the doctors only 5 short months ago. You are right when you say words cannot describe t... | |
| Headphone amps I second the Earmax, especially the Pro. Swap out the stock tubes with NOS and WOW! I have the Sennheiser 600s and could listen for hours...and do! | |
| Best headphone amp for new Senn 650's If you like tubes, try the Earmax Pro. I've been very satisfied with my Pro/Senn 600s. The tube combination I've found to my liking is Telefunken 12AT7 and Bugle Boy 6DJ8's. I could listen for hours (and do)! |
