| best racks,amp stands etc. I am sure you will want to put your turntable on the best platform possible. So, it is time to check into an electron microscope platform. I know, they are pricey, but hey, you want the best, don't you? | |
| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? Tapes? No way. Think about it, twenty year old magnetic media has deteriorated, unlike vinyl, which is fairly stable. I have many tapes, R2R, cassette and even eight track, all cannot equal properly cared for vinyl played on a first class rig. My ... | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? None, a $60 sony 595 at sonystyle will give you just as good sound. | |
| Shipping Speakers to China - Which Shipper? Just don't, unless you have money to waste. The Chinese in bound custom process is totally corrupt, so it is a roll of the dice type of business. | |

| What did you own in the 60's? Tannoy, Thorens changer, gray v arm with table, Marantz and McIntosh electronics. Sold it all in the mid sixties to buy a house. Still have all the records. | |
| Pre-audition advice needed Nothing, and I mean nothing, substitutes for an in home trial. Yes, choice at a dealer is the first step. Elizabeth covers that one in-depth. But, do not buy anything unless the dealer will let you 'audition' your dealer showroom choice in the act... | |
