Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Robsker, Calloway,I agree with Jonathan. Another way of saying it is that since the speaker is downstream of the electronics, if the setup with excellent upstream electronics sounds exceptional then that is testament to the transparency of the spe...

I used to own the AS Mambo. An excellent turntable. Very very good design. I haven't heard the Nott's but also a good design from a motor standpoint. In my experience, low torque AC motors is the way to go. The important advantage I see the AS hav...

Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF
Thanks Steve. Your comment was very informative and helpful. I have an A90 and will give it a try soon. I'll keep this in mind. My guess from what you mentioned is that I'll probably be on the higher end of the vtf spectrum.Andrew 
Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF

Shane,Great ears hear alike. Great minds think alike too. You are spot-on with your opinion of the Millenium mat.I was using the Millenium mat until about 9 months ago. I removed the mat and heard the same type of observations you noted. The mat o...
