| Miles Davis - Time After Time Sympaticonorm has now entered an endless search for Miles. It will never end. 'Blue' is being released on Blu-Ray this year and a new level of bliss will be available. The quest goes on. Enjoy the Miles music. | |
| Whats on your TT tonight 2010 Sadao Watanabe 'Elis'. This 1988 disc is just great. | |
| Overseas Pay Pal, your experiences. Postive, but I do not ship until the funds fully clear in my account, which is most cases is 21 days. | |
| Need fan for Salamder Rack Cheap is best and quite effective. That is some laptop coolers with a stand alone usb power supply. The coolers can be had for $6 plus and power supply about $7. The supply can run 6+ coolers via a wall wart power supply. I use a power supply to r... | |
| Cd transport isolation Worry less about the isolation in the rack and more about the acoustic energy that reaches the unit from the front and sides. Screen off the player from the room acoustic energy and you will see a great improvement. to prove this, just lightly pla... | |
| Best SACD's Film score to 'The Mission'. The SACD version blows away the regular cd. | |

I also have a VPI Aries I with a ClearAudio Victory. I know, 'A Sony' he must be kidding. But, hey, it doe... | |
| Esoteric . . . your thoughts please Esoteric is a great sounding unit. I have recently heard the '5'. However, it is not a great value. I have heard units, recently the oppo 83se, that almost equaled the '5'. Yes, I know 'almost' is very vague. But the listening test I did was at a ... | |
| Best Speakers new/used for around 2k I would add the ProAc 1sc with a good pair of stands. | |
| Which TT for my system? I agree, VPI is the best value. However, made in New Jersey? No way. The parts and most of the assembly is done elsewhere. Also, it is my understanding that some of the components are now coming from China. I believe that Harry will be escaping th... | |
| tact reliability In the end it is all about great customer service, and that is what TACT provides, bar none. I agree that a dealer needs sales time on TACT, but the margins are there. |
