| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? The hobby is dominated by fashion, flavor, and dogma. Today it will be SE tube amps and horns, tomorrow 1000 watt SS amps and 80db sensitive speakers. Switching amps, chip amps, tubes made of unobtainium, magic, religion, faith, hope. I love this ... | |
| Audio Alchemy DLC Wendell, of course you are correct. How thick can I be? In that case, another alternative would be the Creek remote volume control in a box, I think it is the OBH 11 or OBH 12. Completely passive, so no active circitry will be added into the chain... | |
| Audio Alchemy DLC Why would you want to add gain? Most vintage preamps have an excess of gain, and most vintage amps have pretty normal gain structures as well. What exact units are you talking about and what inputs do not give you enough gain, all, phono only, lin... | |

| next step for my setup? advice appreciated I believe that the weak link is your DVD/CD player. First, I really don't see that there is an advantage to a tube DAC in this price range over a SS DAC, and I am a tube guy. There are much more important performance features to a DAC at this pric... | |

| next step for my setup? advice appreciated The question is very hard to answer unless you state your budget. | |
| Should I replace my Technics SL-D202 Tony, what were you thinking about as a budget for you phono cartridge? And what type of music will you be enjoying on record? I think that the 202 will be a fine starter rig.Marty | |
| Help with bluegrass music... John, Seldom Scene. | |
| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 LOL Plinko, the Audio Valve is made in Germany. Maybe it would be better to do a little reserch before posting next time. | |
| Help with bluegrass music... I don't think that Krauss, Fleck, Grisman, O'Conner, et al are "old school" bluegrass by any stretch of the imagination. Even on Audiogon. As already suggested, you might try the Del McCoury Band and Bill Monroe. Ralph Stanley, of course, as well.... | |
