    Re: What happened to SOTA

    I've owned a SOTA Comet for five years. I had an RP6 for awhile when I had two turntables and I thought the SOTA was quite a bit better.

    I've been wanting to upgrade and have spent the past...

    Re: Opera Seconda

    I owned a pair of the previous model. Upscaleaudio.com was blowing them out for about five years.

    They were nice but I don't miss them.

  13. Re: New: Conrad Johnson MF-2275 Solid State Stereo Power Amplifier

    If it would work well with my SP-17 and be stable into my Quad ESL 57's I'm buying one.

    I hope someone at CJ can answer those questions for me.

    ARC used to make pricey, but not crazy gear. ...
  14. Van Alstine Insight+ preamp/linestage - any comments?

    No super expensive casework/knobs/etc and factory direct = looks like a lot of bang for the buck.

    Anyone have any experience with one?

    Re: Job pre2 - just took delivery

    The big question for me with any pre or integrated is 'how does the volume control work'.

    Lots of pre's have SO MUCH GAIN that by the time you get the knob to nine o'clock it's ridiculously...

    Re: Classic preamp comparisons?

    Thanks, that's very helpful. I've been asking in the Job 225 thread if the Classic has too much gain for that amp, still hoping for a reply.

    Re: The return of G.A.S. - Thoebe and SOA II

    I would pay five thousand dollars for a modern pair of DQ-10's. Nostalgia is pricey, but worth it.

    If the volume pot was the face of a clock - when you are listening at a comfortable level - is the line on the volume pot at 7 o'clock? 9 o'clock? Noon? 1 o'clock?

    I'm a big Monitor Audio fan, love the RX6's. I'll bet they are a match made in heaven with the Job 225.

    What's the gain like in combination with the 225?

    Are you stuck in bottom of the volume pot or is there some range there?

    This is an interesting thread, but I was hoping for more 'I own a 225 amp and I am using 'X' preamp with it...' sort of comments.

    So if you own a 225 amp what are you using?

    I think Wally was 'picking up the low-hanging fruit' with his upgrades and the factory decided they wanted a piece of that action.
