Difficult Choice
Marten Design Coltrane are among the best and easily the most natural sounding cone speakers out there, yet they retail for only about 29000 US when compared to other reference speakers. The VR-9 are really good too and I hear the VR-11's are real...

Digital Connundrum - Levinson? Audio Aero?
Hi Artg,Glad to hear that you are enjoying a new toy, I've heard a lot of good things about the Reimyo player but have never had the chance to enjoy it in my system due to cost considerations. What I enjoy most about the AA is the fact that it's d...
