Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua
We had both in our showroom at one time. The Te Kaitora Rua is a phenomena cartridge. Silky smooth in the top end and even more so than its big brother XV-1. The later fares better in terms of dynamic and transparent, but not by far. The XV-1 is h... 
cables are they worth it?
%5 to %10 of total system cost reserves for cabling in a high quality audio system is not out of line. JPS Super3 may be overkilled but SuperQ is not if you prefer JPS. Our second system totally wired with JPS SuperQ and it was awesome as far as s... 
The best hifi magazine?
I vote for HIFI+ with a grain of salt.I haven't seen a negative review from Roy Gregory and he wrote too many reviews for that magazine in a single issue. I have to admit most of his reviews are well written and entertained but I like to see more ... 
Salamander racks?
You mean instead of 6-pack a day, cut it down to one bottle of cheap vodka? 
VINYL - 2,200 LP's to CD or Hard Drive - HELP

Help. My system is shouting at me
Dave,Many cost effective SS CD players (under $1000 or so) using OPAMP output without this annoyance effect that Blazen69 reported. It sounds like a poor design from Cambridge based on your assessment? If not, there is definitely a mismatch betwee... 
Help. My system is shouting at me
It sounds to me like a source problem, not cables.Shouting means very aggressive. I'm not sure the Cambridge 740c has adjustable filter like their big brother 840C.I thought the 840C sounds smooth and musical. The problem may reside in the Exposur...

Best value phono $1-1.5k
PS AUDIO GCPH $995 retail. 
Sweetest SET Amp below $5k
Disclosure: I'm a dealer for Cayin and Opera loudspeakers.Unless your room is big (25 x 30, or more etc.), I would recommend against using sub with the Quintas. Natural and smooth sounding as they are, with bass extension down to 30hz, you do not ... 
Need advice on loudspeakers Southern California
Assuming that you don't use car electronics to drive your new speakers,you will need at least another 50K+ more for good electronics to drive them. So set aside for $150-$200K. 
PS Audio GCPH and Pass X0.2 not talking?
