Lak's Second System 2014A really nice tube integrated amp is a great way to simply your system, and your life. That is one of the reasons I'm considering heading back in that direction. I'd love to try out a SET tube inte... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
Lak's Second System 2014Cool looking rig Larry!! How do you like the Allinic T-1500? That integrated looks very tempting to me. Does it run hot? I've been thinking of going back to an integrated amp again. I'm fai... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |

The Sound of MusicNice system Krisjan. I agree with you that the Marantz is an improvement over the Cary 306. Did you happen to hear the older SA-11S1 version? If so, how does the newer one compare to it?FWI... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |
Time for updatingLooks like it should sound fabulous. I also have Verity Audio speakers and a Basis turntable, and the ARC Ref 3 is on my list of preamps to audition.John posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Musical Joy - Money PitShane,After some initial dissapointment, I'm now very happy. Right out of the box, the BAT was not much of an improvement over my VK-P5 phono stage. Then someone recommended the Granite Aud... posted almost 20 years ago | View comment | |
