USB vs dock for iPod on Peachtree units?
Just purchased an iDecco and it is FABULOUS....with the right speakers it's just terrific. Couldn't be happier. 
Stealth Audio Dream Petite
Well, I ended up returning them since I could not afford them. I was originally going to demo the metacarbons, but my dealer suggested I try the prototype petite dreams. At the time, there was no pricing. Alas, I should have never demo'ed since I ... 
Stealth Audio Dream Petite
I had the opportunity to demo these cables for a couple of months and they just BLEW me away. Unbelievable soundstage, detail, transparency. Definitely highly recommended! 
Best cartridge for JMW 12.5 tonearm?
Thanks for the post Raul. I have a Klyne 7PX3.5 phono preamp. I am mainly listening to jazz and classical. 
Whest Audio ps.20 phono stage w/.20 power supply
This phono stage is AWESOME. I was using an EAR 835p, and the Whest blows it away. Incredible, airy soundstage, great highs and lows, just unbelievable, and this is right out of the box. 
Musical Heritage Society LP's
I agree with all of the above posts, and would encourage you to invest in these LPs. They are very good to excellent sonically, and the performances usually do not disappoint! Go for it! 
Mcintosh MA6900 compared to Mcintosh separates?
I compared the MA6500, the MA6900 and the C42/MC352. There was a definite improvement in sound quality between the MA6500 and the MA6900, but I was hard pressed to find much difference between the MA6900 integrated and the separates. Bottom line, ...

Another excellent source for audiophile jazz CDs (and LPs) is Red Trumpet (www.redtrumpet.com). The staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable, and they have a great selection. The other thing that I like about this merchant is their weekly em... 
Real Deal ZU cable WAX, what's your take?
Having used the Zu WAX first, then upgrading to the Zu IBIS, I can't say enough about these cables. HUGE soundstage, airy, with plenty of midrance. BTW, I compared these with several other brands in my system, and both the WAX and the IBIS won han... 
New Phono Pre-Amp
I have an MMF-7 turntable and am using an EAR 834P. It sounds terrific; far better than when I was using the Musical Fidelity X-LPS phono stage. If you can stretch your budget $100 or so, then hold out for a used EAR 834P. You'll be glad that you ... 
Good web sites for buying vinyl "on-line" ?
I would also try Red Trumpet at www.redtrumpet.com. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and will bend over backwards to help you get what you need. I have visited their place of business in York, PA several times, and have always been pleased with t... 
MMF-7 or MMF-5 Music Hall consideration?
I had an MMF-5 for several weeks and upgraded to the MMF-7 because I loved the 5 so much. However, I find that the MMF-7 is a bit trickier to set up, and even though the MC cartridge is high output, you still need an MC phonostage. My integrated o...
