If you want to prove this debate, take a SS amp that does over 300w per channel, and play a test tone at full volume with gain all the way up..... and put the + and - leads for the speaker in your mouth.

I do this when I run through all my 9 volt batteries //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

lol

I may be picking up an ARC SP-9MKIII in the coming weeks, if the guy hasn't already sold it...

Stop buying stuff.

I returned the LS-1, the SP-9 was only $50 more and has the 6922 phono stage built in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I'm slowly finishing everything...I have the speakers, subwoofer, and now with the monoblocks, the amplifiers chosen. All that's left is to get a suitable preamp/phono stage and the turntable, now that I've settled on the SL-1200 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If the guy has already sold the SP-9MKIII when I go back home, my next choice is either a Rogue 66 (the one you gave me a link a while back for) or a CJ PV-10A. But the Conrad Johnson is one ugly piece of equipment, lol.

CJ is local goodness though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/drool.gif.b5e863e893038027711d4402f340dad0.gif

Built in phono is enough for me right now too, When I graduate and have a real job I might be able to afford the speakers I'll need to warrant seperate phono's and stuff.

Bah, I should just get an HTIB //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

A man walked into a curio shop in Galveston Texas. Looking around at the

exotica, he noticed a very life-like, life-size bronze statue of a rat. It had no price

tag, but it looked so striking that he decided he must have it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

He took it to the owner and asked "How much is the bronze rat?" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bowdown.gif.b85b23b82970bd22fb6b549c3392f016.gif

"Twelve dollars for the rat, a hundred dollars if you bring it back," said the owner.

The man gave the shop owner twelve dollars. "I'll take the rat; and I won't be bringing it back." //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif

As he walked down the street carrying the bronze rat, he noticed that a few real

rats had crawled out of alleys and sewers, and began following him down the

street. This was a bit disconcerting, so he began to walk a little bit faster. Within

a couple of blocks, the group of rats behind him grew to over a hundred, and

they began squealing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/scared.gif.f134e57c6c93ccd0f15aa5ac32c7d4a0.gif

He started to trot towards the Harbor. He took a nervous look around and saw

that the rats numbered in the thousands, maybe in the millions, and they were

all squealing and coming towards him faster and faster. Terrified, he ran to the

edge of the water and threw the bronze rat as far out into the Harbor as he

could. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smash.gif.499e08a4a35ffaf54f4c8194fb8fe8ed.gif

Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the water after it, and were

drowned. The man walked back to the curio shop. "Aha," said the owner, "You're

bringing it back !"

"Actually no," said the man. "I came back to see how much you want for that

little exotic bronze tube amplifier over there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/idea.gif.5acb6a39a9b92425414c316dda202bad.gif
