| A difficult LP reproduction question Eldartford, you appear to not like old (inexpensive) technology yet you actively work to disprove the quality of modern (inexpensive) technology as well. Cryo AC outlets being a perfect example, you have a rather long running thread:http://forum.a... | |

| Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove Gladstone, I have compared the Walker to Io in my system. Louis Gennarelli (another Audiogon member) and I compared the Walker, IO and Manley in his system. Both of us believe the Io is in a league all it's own.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr... | |
