I’m just a huge fan of Japanese-made products period. I think it stems from my auto plant managing days and visiting Toyota assembly plants. The cultural difference, the level of detail, etc....was so eye-opening to me. I’ve been out of the auto i... 
New SL1210GR enroute. Need cart recommendations
Fremer seemed to like the Elite Concorde in one of his recent Technics reviews  
NEW turntable from Luxman PD-191a, introduced in Japan.
Beautiful TT. Plus, its made in Japan. I wish Luxman would introduce a DD TT  
"World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects
These WBC 7AWG cables look really nice...    
The revolution has begun!
I love my Class A Luxman. HOWEVER, digital amps are great for listening to the ball game out in the garage  
One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer?
The way I'm going to do it is keep my current 1200GR for 78's and a newer, higher-end table for everyday listening.   
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
I can add, the MM phono section sounds fantastic. No downgrade from my older ELAC ppa-2. I hope to try a MC cartridge later on

McIntosh Labs delivery issues
Go Luxman. Plus, Luxman have no meters on many models. My Luxman 595ase is the best sounding component i hsvevever had. Built like a tank

MoFi controversy
@theaudioamp i agree with you. There are many digital recording methods. 24/96 will capture everything that is on an analog tape. Sony invented DSD to be an archive format  
MoFi controversy
I'm guessing the site will be complete soon. The Washington Post is getting ready to drop a story on this and MoFi will want all their ducks in a row when that happens  
MoFi controversy
@mammothguy54 Mofi has been updating the albums on their site with analog or DSD sources little by little. I'd say within a few days all the albums (future, past, and present) will be updated.  
MoFi controversy
@big_greg 90% of people who purchased one steps did so believing they were buying an all analog “ chain” record. Regardless what sounds best, MoFi was well aware of this, thus avoiding any mention of dsd in their literature.    Regardless of what...
