[Need help selecting MC cart]

If I had it do over I would go the same way with a Dynavector 10X5 or DV-20X2L depending on budget.

[Equalization]

I see the Behringer product mentioned in this thread several times.  As far as affordable digital equalizaton goes does anyone have an opinion on the dBx products or similar devices?

[Anyone have experience with SET amp and Klipsch ?]

I have my La Scalas with a sub in an 18' x 25' x 10' room and have driven them with several amps including SET's.  My Cary 300B signature monoblocks with 8 watt/ch are classic SET Class A amps.  Also I use Sonic Frontiers push/pull 55 watt/ch Power 1 with KT88 tubes.  I had a First Watt solid state SET from Pass for a while just for the fun of it but moved that.  Of course, I have also used some solid state class A-B designed amps.  Actually they all sounded good to my ears although a little different.  The SF sounds more like an extremely quiet SS amp than tube while the Cary 300B's are mid range sweet, very nice.  I didn't think the First Watt was worth the price although it sounded good.  I have never felt I lacked power even though I sometimes listen fairly loudly.

[Equalization]

Anyone using graphic or parametric equalizers in their 2-ch system?  Most of the hareware units look designed for the pro concert circuit or studio.  I am not familiar with how they would sound in a home environment.

You're kidding right?  A troll maybe.

[La Scalas + Crites]

What's the best material for resealing the woofer door on the La Scala?

[Tube warm-up]

Thirty minutes.  Seems by then the bias settings have stablized where they were calibrated.

[Am I Crazy? (keep it on topic)]

It's probably just my bad luck or an isolated case but my Azur amp from Cambridge Audio needed two warranty repairs in less than a year of minimal use.  I replaced it with a Japanese made Marantz integrated amp (awesome).  The Cambridge stuff is Chinese made.  It's in storage in it's original box in my basement.

[La Scalas with sub woofer]

I used to set mine at 55Hz, but recently, I changed it to 70Hz when I added 2 more subs. 

 

What sub(s) do you use, and are you having a particular issue?

I use an REL Strata II.  No particular issue, just curious.  I have mine set like your 55 Hz range.  A little suprised by the suggested 70 to 90 Hz recommendations.

[La Scalas with sub woofer]

When using a sub with La Scalas at what upper frequency of the sub do most of you blend them for your particular room?
