| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Thought I'd chime in again and say that the Origin Live Illustrious Mk. 3c tonearm that Christopher Thornton suggested and mounted on my 401, is an excellent performer and match with the table. I've had a few carts mounted on it (currently a Lyra ... | |

| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Hello again all,Just wanted to update my situation. I ended up buying the Rowland Continuum S2 and so far, I couldn't be happier! It seems like a very synergistic match with my Salk Soundscape 8's speakers. With RAAL tweeters mated with an Accuton... | |

| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i All,Great comments and insight from everyone. The Accuphase E-560 certainly looks interesting as well.I'm also wondering about the Gamut DI150 that looks great and is supposed to sound excellent. Powerful,detailed, transparent and ultra-fast is wh... | |
| Accuphase E-560 versus VAC Sigma 160i Jriggy,I did personally speak with Kevin Hayes at VAC last week. A very pleasant and informative fellow. Not pushy and wished me well in my integrated amp auditions/searches and he hoped to be welcoming me to the VAC family soon. Don't hesitate to... | |

| Octave Audio integrated amplifiers Xti16,Thanks again for the info.My speakers are rated at 87.5/1W/1M. That said I am interested in the V40 SE and I'd probably end up running it with KT88's.Do you know of a distributor or vendor that you could recommend? | |
| Octave Audio integrated amplifiers Thanks for the thoughtful response.I typically don't listen at very loud levels (75 to 85 db) and so I'm wondering about the V40 SE and V70 SÉ's performance under these conditions. | |
