| interconnnect for tri-planer arm? I would strongly recommend that if you make any changes, you have it done w a single run from the cart clips, all the way to the RCA or XLR ends that plug into your phono stage. | |
| Do I need an SUT w/ an EAR 868? It depends on the output of your cart and the total gain of your system. KAB has a gain calculator on their web site. | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? I can tell you that when I heard the Classic Audio Repro speakers at RMAF in a VERY big room, they could play rock at realistic levels (not earbleed, but real kick-a$$). And remember, the room size we are talking about is almost 21,000 cu ft., mor... | |

| Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of There's too much blind acceptance of financial complexities and monetary entitlement.Agree completely. | |
| no volume control How are you currently controlling volume? I'm guessing through your computer's sound card or your music playback software, but please clarify. If that't the case, use the DACs RCA or XLR output to drive a headphone amp, which typically has a volum... | |

| Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of Mt- what I think you are missing is that this IS capitalism at work. Huge demand coupled w at least some limits on supply (production and delivery capacity are have some practical limits) results in high price. If a retailer can sell every unit he... | |
