| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Got rid of my Audiolab cdt....did not care for it, and it was much too large for what it does... I think my Marantz hdcd1 sounds better and it is only 12 x 12 inches...Also have a brand new yet to set up Cyrus cdt....looks to be a quality unit. It... | |

| Di I really need to clean my LP's? I only clean my thrift store finds with my record dr....because they are usually quite filthy visually, fingerprints etc...however they have little if any scratches, as I’m very discriminant. I do not clean records that I myself bought new and kno... | |
| Can a turntable ever have enough isolation? A wall mounted turntable shelf, preferably mounted to a concrete wall that is studded and covered in dry wall, is the best isolation bar none...absolutely zero footfalls, banished forever. On top of that, add in your usual butcher block platform s... | |
| Turntable sub $4k buy decisions too many. You may poo poo the suggestion, considering you have mentioned you rule out pro-ject, but the Music Hall MMF-7.3 in Walnut Is a very good looking table. It is way under your 4k budget and sounds terrific. It already comes with the Ortofon 2M Bronz... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @budburma those Sterlings are no slouch, I'm certain they sound wonderful! My Eatons are good enough for me, huge standmounters...like you, the larger much more expensive Tannoys are way over my budget, and I cannot fit them in my room...so I'm co... |
