    Re: Top Level integrated

    Which YG's are you using? The Audionet Humbolt is a great match with most of the line.

    Re: Favorite affordable phono stage

    The two phonostages that are very affordable that have stood out to me are the MoFi Studiophono for $300, it will handle both MM and MC cartridges and is is quiet even at the 66db loading, sound is...

    Re: What cartridges are you using?

    My Sonic Lab Signature Gold, around 30 hours on it. So far sounds really good! I'll try and post a pic or two later today.

    Re: What amp on Harbeth speakers ?

    The best amps I used with my SHL5's were the Manley Snapper monoblocks. The best amp on my 40.1's was the BAT REX. Tried offerings from Bryston, Krell, VTL, Spectron and probably some I can't...

    Re: tonearm cable

    I used the Furutech for a short while. It's pretty good, better (to me) than the Audioquest Leopard I had at the same time. I have since worked my way through some of the Kubala-Sosna line and liked...
  8. Re: Veloce Audio LITHIO SERIES – LS-1 LINESTAGE ....

    It's a shame if they have gone under. That preamp was a great one. Got to hear it compared to other top offerings and was always impressed with it.

    Re: VPI Titan has landed

    Even on concrete floor, I had the same issues with my SSM reference. Cured by going back to belt drive. Gorgeous setup!

    Re: sub to go with Marten Coltrane 3

    REL G1 or REL No.25 would be my choice. I regret selling my G1 and will probably get another REL in the near future. If you don't have the floor space, the REL 212se is really nice too.

    Re: Mnaley Steelhead phono stage?!

    I have not heard a system with one in it for quite some time. So I can't judge how it holds up to what's out there now.
    It hasn't gotten worse, just a lot of the competition has gotten better. With...

    Re: Question on Continuum S2 volume levels

    That sounds normal in my experience. On my BAT preamps. Last two were REX and VK-52se, I talked to BAT and they said 70-90 out of 140 steps was optimal. So over half way. On my AudioNet G2 preamp 80...

    Re: YG acoustics sold to LK capital

    I think the partial sale was to do just what the article says. Allow Yoav to spend more time advancing his products. I doubt very much it's due to lack of money or some kind of bail out. If anything...

    Re: Marantz Ref SA-10 SACD/CD Player/DAC?

    The redbook is very good. The SACD is a better, depending on the cd. I would imagine that the sa-10 would be better. Given the price increase.

    Re: Marantz Ref SA-10 SACD/CD Player/DAC?

    Agreed on the SA11S3. I picked one up because it was there and priced right at the time. I needed SACD, CD, and DAC all in one. Everyone who's listened to music with this player at my house has...

    Re: what Phono stage do you using?

    It's been awhile since the ASR and the ARC, but the BAT was a bigger more powerful sound than either of them. The ARC had a really wide soundstage, I do remember that. But it didn't sound (to me) as...

    Re: what Phono stage do you using?

    I've owned many over the years, my favorite until recently had been the tube offerings from BAT. I ran two tables a lot of the time and mostly had a BAT VK-P10 and VK-P10se w/super pak. I have owned...
