Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information
Timtub, The CP was offered to me for $1700; If  could buy it for 1500, I would "probably" jump on it   (But, I don't think BIll D  will go any lower in price) I say "probably", because I have never heard the pre-amp or found one review about it. A... 
Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound
Buy a pair of Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniverary speakers . They are are  excellent speakers, extremely accurate, and sound like real music. However, you should  have 50-75RMS  to make them sing and swing

Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000??
To Mr. Johnson.   Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, the dealer who had  the VK20r on consignment sold it.  His first deal fell through a few days ago.   However,  it is good to know about the BAT phono stage should I find a similar BAT...

To djohnson54. Thank you for the reply and info.  A new BAT candidate is in the race, the VK-20r pre-amp listed on AG.  I have found only one review on it. Therefore, do you ( or anyone) know where it might stand in the BAT pecking order of pre-am... 
Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000??
dpjohnson54,  Thanks,  Yes I saw the ad.  Take a look at the photo of the inside??  I think the insides look somewhat yellowish and aging. However,  It does have a remote, but no phono.  .Nevertheless, I am also considering CJ  ET3 that was  recen... 
Retooling the system upward?? What speakers would be a major upgrade over GET model 7's?
Erik, I am not the type of person to engage in "subtlety of language"  If I find fault or (even some faults) with a speaker system I own or have owned that does not necessarily mean I am dissatisfied. I just may keep the GET 7's and be done with i... 
Retooling the system upward?? What speakers would be a major upgrade over GET model 7's?
To Erik Squires  I really didn't say or even imply that I was dissatisfied with the speaker choices I made. Like many of us, I am always pushing the envelope to find the best sound. Actually, every speaker I owned going as far back to the KEF104ab...

MOFI,   I STAND CORRECTED  I don't usually read technical or white papers. The last one was  either about Dynaco A-25 or the Large Advent.  Obviously, I am  a tad behind members like you.  Nevertheless, regarding "the Concert"  I assume you are re... 
Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000??
 To herndonb.  Thanks for the heads up about the Krell 280P pre-amp.   Did you own one??    If so what did you like about its  features, and more importantly its sounds quality??.  I prefer pre-amp that has no HT or processor features or a build i...
