Did you get published in Stereophile?
Noticed a letter dicussing CDs and LPs with a sig of Kevin Brown.
If so, are you runing the phono preamp through the 950?

Same one! Yes, I use a Creek phono preamp.
They edited a bunch of stuff out of that letter, but you get the gist. I've only been reading Stereophile for a little while, and even though I find most of the reviews of eqp that is out of reach for the normal person, I do think they do the best speaker and CD (and CD playback from DVD player) reviews going. And their analog coverage is really impressive too.

Kudos KCB, Speaking of analog. Did you ever get around to trying the Behringer tube thingy??? Inquiring minds want to know. THX

I think I can answer that last question. ![](http://ubb.outlawaudio.com/ubb/smile.gif) Yes, he did. But I think it just gave him the resolve to build a dedicated two-channel tube-based system some day because I'm going to be buying the Behringer from Kevin to try it myself. Outlaws stick together!

boblinds is Bob L! ![](http://ubb.outlawaudio.com/ubb/smile.gif) Yes, integrated tube amp someday in a separate 2 channel music system. Got to thank Soundhound for that one... ![](http://ubb.outlawaudio.com/ubb/smile.gif)

Soundhound- Because it's a piece of pro gear, with the different input levels, I got more benefit from it right after my DVD player rather than after the 950. The change in the sound quality was enough that yeah, *someday* I'm going have to try an integrated tube amp. ![](http://ubb.outlawaudio.com/ubb/smile.gif) The challenge now, is either a completely separate system, or Y connectors and switch boxes to use the same source components and speakers, but to be able t switch between the 950 and the solid state amps now to the integrated tube amp. Something *new* to think about...

I have not tried an integrated tube amp in my system is because I'm quite happy with the system I have now. And it goes without saying that if I try an integrated tube amp, I might not be so happy with what I have now. ![](http://ubb.outlawaudio.com/ubb/smile.gif)

Kevin:
Thanks for the placement tip. I have a switch box taking my music sources into the 5.1 bypass, so I'll stick the Behringer between that and the 950.
Bob _L..no .. wait .. here I'm .. boblinds .. just a sec ... I'd rather be ..

Bob L , I’m sure being you is very exciting. And I bet life with J-Lo is really just overrated. ![](http://ubb.outlawaudio.com/ubb/smile.gif) Kevin, any chance you could post excerpt of your letter over here, for those (me) who usually never bother to pick up the mags? Congrats on being published !!
