Aaron Neville's "Warm Your Heart"
Sometimes it is hard to reproduce that special effect you've hear in another system, another location. I remember hearing the original krell 50 and pam1 on my roxan TT playing Nanci Griffith's "One Fair Summer Evening" There was a wonderful crunch...

AT-OC9ML/II vs. Shelter 501 Mk2 using the JMW9

Best CD Player for 800-1500 Used
You could look at a tosh3960 from RAM. I have one with the full mod[superclock 3]. This is very analogue like playback. And you'll save a few bucks in the process....good luck with whatever you choose.

Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP?

Well, it LOOKS like crap...
George,the X-balls are sometimes on sale. I got my first for something like $3.98 a pak. Yes, I believe we have the same target stand. I also have a target turntable stand but the tv sits on it so I can play dvd-music videos and movies through the... 
Well, it LOOKS like crap...
I have the miniclouds under the roxan on top of a target 5 shelf stand. The top shelf has spikes under it and the stand sits on four large superball halves, flat side down. The table "floats" as the ginko blue balls have a bit of roll in the acril...
