| Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades? You can also order the VPI feet of the HRX version as I did with my Aries 1, very nice improvement. | |

| Joseph Audio dealers I second and third the vote for Goldprint Audio, Taylor is an excellent dealer/person. | |
| Usher Dancer mini 2 or Acoustic Zen Adagio or ? I have listened to both and own the Usher DMD 2's and they are a superb speaker, the highs with the diamond type tweeter is great and you cannot beat the low level response and detail that you get with these speakers. A friend of mine has the Adag... | |
| Best SACD: Modwright OPPO vs Esoteric X03 series? I have the Modwright/Oppo 105 unit and it is by far the best sounding digital that I have heard. I know the Esoteric stuff is built like a tank but not sure on its sound quality.I opted to change out the tubes in the Mdwright/Oppo to NOS RCA 6sn7'... | |
| Frustrated with Bonamassa Live CDs I too am a big fan and have bought his live cd's and they sound terrible, almost to the point of being impossible to listen to. The Royal Albert Hall cd is very compressed and a big disappointment. | |
| Gov't Mule last night....much better than stereo I could not agree more, when you hear Gov't Mule live the bass just kicks you in the chest and you will never forget it. One of the best bands live, could not agree more. | |

| Tube amp repair recommendations - Western NY Try Wayne over at Stereo Chamber in Orchard Park, he is quite knowledgeable in all things stereo | |
| Hugh Masekela – Hope / Should I get the CD or SACD I have heard both and owned both, the hybrid SACD is better and worth the extra $$. The resolution on the hybrid SACD will be a step or two better than the redbook version. | |
| Upgrade from Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE I can second the Cary SLP-03 preamp comment it is quite good but you need to change the tubes to NOS and then it takes this unit to another level. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 owners and subwoofers Rel subs are the best to integrate with Maggies and most other types of speakers. They blend in well, are not noticable sonically and do provide a nice wide expansive soundstage. | |
| speakers under 1,500 excellent top to bottom sound Try some usher 6311, 6371 and 6381 speakers they are excellent performers and a bargain for what is there. | |
| BAT Solid State Amplifiers I agree with the above having driven Maggie 1.6, 3.5 and 3.6's as well as Spicas and Ushers, with a VK-500 with Bat Pak, not lean by any stretch, very musical. | |
