Hey! I'm wondering if anyone has bought any products from www.SoundAdditions.com? They seem to have really good reviews for their products and I had my eye on the FubarII. Thanks!

They suck. I can honestly say that because I've owned 2 of their products. The TubeHead pre-amp blew up my 2k speakers, and the Fubar III phone jack only works on the left side if you fiddle with the cord. Stay away. Junk. |

If this isn't spam and Nancy is really looking for a small amp (HIGHLY unlikely), check out the Pro-Ject boxes. I haven't heard them, but Pro-Ject makes very good products for the money. Pre-amp http://www.musicdirect.com/product/83856 Power amp http://www.musicdirect.com/product/83854 Mono amp http://www.musicdirect.com/product/84193 They also have an iPod dock, tuner, and a bunch more stuff in that chassis size. |

I've heard good things about Pro-Ject too Stu. Another good option is a PC with a USB DAC to a Trends T-Amp. Been there, done that and the results were good. |

I've heard a bunch of Pro-Ject stuff and it was all good for the money. Great sound quality and well built. I own a Pro-Ject turntable and speed box. I haven't heard those specific components, but judging by their track record I'd be willing to bet they're as good as everything else. I'm contemplating the tuner. |
