Thanks for your impressions on CAF. I agree with you on HWS, Gestalt and F&R…always a pleasure to meet them in person and their choice of gear + sound is usually in my Top 10. I almost bought F&R TT before I decided to pursue Garrard. 301. If you go back to @gestalt, say my hello to Colin.
+1 on MBL, wish I could afford to buy one of their offerings. My alternative to MBL’s are WVL. While not as pretty as MBL, WVL are really great sounding speakers.
