| Preamp recommendations for under $600.00 There is a nice Classe thirty for sale on this site for $580.00. I owned Classe gear years ago and it was top shelf. | |
| 25 watts Class A or 70 watts Class A/B ? I think 93 db sensitivity would be considered on the mid to high side. My speakers are 82 db (Harbeths) and my room is about 300 sq ft. I use 50 watt tube amps and never had any problem. I think any amp you choose would be fine driving your speakers. | |
| Beginner Turntable Check out the Denon DP-29F,it comes with cartridge and a phono preamp. Needle Doctor sells it for $150. | |
| Outdoor speakers Check out Parts Express,they have a plethora of what you are looking for. | |

| Loud Buzz in Mono I think the problem would be with phono preamp not the line stage. | |
| Under $2K table/arm advice Another vote for SOTA! | |

| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? $999 is a far cry from $2700! | |
| Advantages of monoblocks 1. Separate power supply for each amp2. Lighter weight3. You can place each amp near speaker4. No chance of cross talkOther than that I can't think of any thing else. You can check out Quicksilver (which I own) mono's are all he makes. | |
| Sansui 9090db, best match vintage speakers ADS 810 or AR 11 would go nice with the Sansui! | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? Harbeth P3ESR should fit the bill! |
