pairing a preamp/amp with a pro-ject Xpression III

Forums

I have had a pro-ject Xpression III for a while now, and have paired it with some inexpensive amplification for a while, and it's finally time to upgrade. Thinking in the $100-$200 range for the pre and up to $500 or so for the amp (i know, but one step @ a time). It still has the sumiko oyster MM cartridge but I'll be upgrading fairly soon to a MC so I'd like the pre to be switchable between the two. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to get? I'd also like to go all tube, but the pre can do without it. Thanks!

In my rather jaded <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/asweseeit/the_1986_winter_ces/">report from the 1986 Winter CES</A> (Vol.9 No.2), I remarked that there was nothing really new in the field of high-end audio. Well, I was wrong. I overlooked the Acoustic Sciences Corporation Tube Traps, a patented new acoustic device designed by Arthur Noxon (president of ASC). The Traps represent the first practical and effective solution to a perennial audiophile problem: standing waves in the listening room.

How do you know what Bob Dylan really sounds like?

Aloha,

Seemingly obtuse question, but I hope it has a valid audio point by the time people discuss it.

(Disclaimer: Could be Bob Dylan, could be anybody, Bob Dylan is just an examplar; so we can skip the "I hate Bob Dylan" part of the equation. )

OK, so...

New Bob Dylan recording comes out, and it sounds pretty good, sonically. But, it sounds different on one system than another!
