| VPI HR-X, Super Scoutmaster and Acrylic Platters Alephman, You are not limited to the JMW-12.6 with the HR-X. I know of one person who uses a Graham on his. Also, any unipivot tonearm will wobble when you move it. It is the nature of the beast. | |

| Pass Labs X-1000 monoblocks The power plug on the X-1000 isn't all that special. It is a 20 amp IEC vs the 15 amp IEC found on most High End audio products. My X-600's were ordered with the X-1000 input boards complete with the 20 amp IEC's. All I had to do was change my wal... | |
| EMM Labs DCC 2 - Sneak Preview I find the discussion of the hybrids vs the OTL's an interesting one. I too heard the Hybrids and the OTL's at Bill's house on two different occasions. Give all the hype regarding the hybrids, I was underwhelmed by what I heard. I was expecting th... |
