I have a Jolida JD102 B amp and Klipsch Cornwall speakers and i want a better turntable than i currently have and i would like some suggestions.I now have a Kenwood KD3055 table with a Signet MK55E cartridge.I will be purchasing a Jolida tube pre amp and i will have a budget of $500.00.Suggestions please.

To me they look like home theater speakers, announcing the end of high end audio, same as the 400 series amplifiers from Mark Levinson.. I never liked the sound (congested) of the Salons but I did like the original Studios, look and sound. Now I don't even care how they sound anymore. They are too ugly, hometheater like. Does Revel know that only provincial snobs will buy their speakers in the future?? The B&W 802D is much better value. The 802D has character, blood. The Studio II looks like any $5,000 speaker!

I'm wondering does anyone know where I can purchase the Silverman 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas?

I have a Yaqin MC-100B amp, which runs four KT88 output tubes, four 6N8P (or 6NS7 or 6H8C) tubes, and two 12AX7 preamp tubes. These are all Chinese tubes. With the speakers I have (Cerwin Vega VS-150) the amp sounds a bit bright. I'd like to warm it up a bit, and hopefully get a bit more in the bass department.

Where do you guys recommend I start? Any particular tubes you'd recommend for thumping bass on a budget?

Thanks!

Charles.

We're getting back into the equipment purchase biz after 20 years. I have a pair of KEF 107 spkrs to start with and want to add amp/preamp, cd player and squeezebox (or like) to make a system. Our old system was a Mac C28 preamp, a Mac 200 watt amp, and an NAD CD player. Sound quality was fine. Any thoughts besides reading reviews? Anywhere in the Sacramento area We can listen to alternatives?

Does anyone here know of DVD-V authoring software that will allow placing varying sample rate and bit depth stereo PCM audio tracks on a DVD-V?

I am trying to create a DVD-V disc with a variety of uncompressed audio tracks to enable comparing, for example, 24/96 and 16/44 tracks of the same recording. (I will require listeners to close their eyes so this will be a blind test).

Just read MF review of the continuum criterion turntable and copperhead arm, I was disappointed Michael didn
