Hi everyone
I am trying to set up a system to play records. I want to buy a Technics SL-1200, maybe MK3 or 5?
I have an amp already: Audiolab 8000s
but it doesn't have phono input. So I need to buy a seperate one.

I have it in my head to transfer my collection to CD-R's so that I can avoid wearing out my Vinyl. The problem is that I have no idea at all what is required. BTW, the computer is set up for photo editing with 2gb of RAM so it should have plenty of power. The operating system is XP-Pro.

HELP, What are the opinions of the Bryston BP 26 or the BAT 3K-ViX SE? Also open to opinion on other options. I have Bryston 7B ST amps. What about the Audio Research LS 17.

Looking for opinions on floorstanders in the 1,200.00 to 1,600.00 USD range. Was heading for the Studio 60s v.4 with the G-Pal tweeter, but then read KR's review of the Revel F12 and went into vapor lock. Anyone have any A/B experience with these speakers? Would probably buy all matching speakers for 5.1 set-up but usage would be for 75% music/ 25% movies. Room 15 x 20, Yamaha RX-2400 av receiver, Denon 1930ci universal player, Signal Cable all around. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I'm new to this form and had my old Phase Linear 400 series 2 power amp die last week. I was using it in my home stereo hooked up to my faithful Crown ic-150 Pre-amp. I was wondering if a XTI1000 would be a good amp to replace my Phase with? I noticed it does not have RCA jacks in the back, where do I get interconnects to hook my ic-150 pre-amp up. Is this a high fidelity amp, and would it compare to my 200 watts per channel Phase. I would like to buy Crown based on the reliability of my Crown pre-amp.
