Digital Amps vs Solid State Amps
I don't think fafafion's opinions are "informed". To me informed connotes a fair amount of experience with a number of different manufacturers and/or products.In fact they are based on a very limited number of Class D amplifiers.Nonetheless he is ... 
Digital Amps vs Solid State Amps
If you read fafafion's posting history over the last couple years, you'll note he rails on Class D amps consistently.My money is on the bet that he's had very limited experience with some of the top Class D products introduced to the market over t... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Dynaudio C4
Buff is a Dynaudio dealer and should have tempered his post with that disclosure. 
The Best Best Speaker Thread
The "best best" speaker?I'll pass.I'm waiting for the "absolute, all time, no questions asked, everybody agrees on this, it can't be anything else" best speaker.No sense settling for anything less since this topic appears so infrequently. 
Graham Phantom II VS Vector 4 Tonearm
Giddy biscuits?I didn't know Rush was in the snack food business.Nothing wrong with diversification.What's next, Plant food? 
Experienced audiophiles best speaker
Sounds bitter audio to me. 
Changing from an XV1-S
I've heard of London.It's near Liverpool.South of Scotland.Lots of fog.They drive on the wrong side of the road.

Bands that had a "masterpiece", w/ common theme
Thanks but nobody forces you to read my opinions as well.Maybe you should give a listen to Kenny G's latest release; it's called "Chronic Cyclonic".Puts me to sleep. 
Changing from an XV1-S
I don't think it's that simple Stickman. Given the other system components, most notably the phono preamp, are capable of resolving the "better" cartridge, I believe it's safe to say that any of the 3 would provide a noticeable level of improvemen... 
Changing from an XV1-S
Mike,I know what you mean. I have 7 tables, 6 tonearms, 6 phono stages, and 21 cartridges.I have no doubt the A90 is a wonderful cartridge but 50+ years in the hobby and business has taught me the latest is not always the greatest.Thanks 
Changing from an XV1-S
Good, better, or best is listener dependent.I can think of a dozen cartridges that would be at the top of a "what's your favorite/best cartridge?" list. 
Changing from an XV1-S
>>08-02-10: DcarolThe technology that goes into the A90 is pretty new and I don't actually know of any other company using it, that's why I say the XV1-S is getting on.<<Please explain for us, in detail, the differences in technology a...
