Best Full Range Speaker, 750- 1k
The new Green Mountain Europa two way has fantastic sound and at only $ 780.00 is a great bargain. Go to gma@pcisys.net for pictures and specs. Don Kenney HI END AUDIO Edina, Mn 952-929-1479 
Jolida JD 100 CD Player
I have been using this CD player and found it to be better sonicaly than A fifteen hundred Audio Lab from England. The build quality is excellent- it uses the top of the line Philips transport. At its price it is a fantastic bargain. capaudio 
Decent CD Players
I have recently acquired the new Jolida CD player which has a tube audio section. The sound is as good or better than any player under $2000.00 that I know of. At $ 900.00 it is a steal. If you want better sound go analogue! capaudio 
Turntable suggestions?
Sumiko has started selling a new model, the Project RM-9 which sells for $ 1500.00 with a first rate arm. With a few tweaks I have dicovered the sound is very close to the Michell Orbe SE II/ SME 4 combo I was using which costs $ 6250.00. The curr... 
Help me spend 600
A very cost effective upgrade would be a set of Final Daruma 3 II ball bearing isolation devices for $ 99.00. Put them under your turntable. Regards, Don Kenney HI END AUDIO

Krell amps with Magneplanar speakers
The Magnapans need the warmth of tubes but they also need a lot of power which gets very expensive with tube amps. Krell class A amps can give you the best of both worlds. I have a pair of Krell KMA 100 amps that would be perfect with your speaker... 
Edge Amps-Anybody ever heard 'em?
To David : I have been using Edge power amps in my reference system for the past three years with excellent results. I had the M-8, rated 175 Watts per channel, which was replaced by the M-8 M. These amps have the speed and power of good solid sta... 
Help with upgrade from Kuzma / Dynavector to... ?
A significant up grade would be a Michell Orbe SE Mk 2. turntable list $ 3500.00. I have one demo on Audiogon for $ 2695.00. The arm you have would work fine until you wanted an arm upgrade. Go to www.artechelectronics.com for details and pictures... 
Cheapest Analogue Setup to Conquer Best Digital
I have had excellent resuts with the Michell Gyrodecks over the years. The latest model I have used is the SE II model with a new DC motor which is much quieter than the old AC motor. This is a bargain at $ 1895.00. 
LP 12 the Extreme Phono Way-First Impressions
One suggestion about the cable. Phono cables get such a low voltage signal that they NEVER realy break in. I have found that running them on a Mobie or similar break in device which puts a very strong signal through them makes a big difference. Be... 
Dynaco ST 70 - Best mod value?
The easiest up grade is put in premium EL-34 's. I have found the best results with Groove tube GT-E34 LS tubes. Don Kenney 
why are jolidas so cheap?
I have been selling Jolida amps for about five years and have found them to be an excellent value. The main reason they are priced lower than other tube amps is that they are made in China. They can be upgraded easily by replacing the Chinese outp... 
Different & inconsistent sound quality
This is a very important topic. The fact that my system(s) sound better late at night, early in the day, and on Sunday has been bugging me for years. There seems to be a definite correlation between power usage on the line and sound quality. Sound...
