| Are all blank CDR'S created equal ??? The Dutch government did a study to determine this very subject, I don't remember where on the web I ran across the statistics.Their finding were the same as stated by Ehider, Mitsu was best, and a special gold version from Kodak just behind it. | |

| Tonearms: Graham 2.1 or 2.2 vs Basis Vector I am using the Aesthetix Io with dual outboard power supplies. Replaced all the tubes with select NOS and did a few internal tricks. Superb phono stage, represented by the same gentleman who brings you Basis and Graham. | |

I don't know how that model stacks up against yours, but it is a starting point.As old as yours is you may have to play it to be certain you have a good working piece. Only other option ... | |
| Are these cartridges worth anything???? HELP If they are not broken or failing in their suspension, there is certainly an analog fan out there who would love to have one or both of these. Condition is everything in this case. If defective, the cost to recondition to new may make them a less ... | |
| which amp would you choose Your right about one thing, the two amps you are seeking to compare are as worlds apart as you and your buddy are.The Belles is traditional FET design, and well done. The Bel Canto is the new digital circuit, a radical departure from their usual t... | |
| Simply Physics I don't know where Rick Roberts is or the fate of his company. I have not spoken to him in a long time.His expensive black V2 Decoupler with stainless steel insert is still my reference footer. Used with my Soundlab U1 speakers, amp stands and sub... | |
