In what ways is Mark Levinson better than Krell?
.Try listening to the older Levinson Amps like the 23.5 and 27.5. They are much more liquid and warmer than the Krell's. I have no use for the Levinson models made after the 23.5 and 27.5. The newer models sound dry, analytical and not very musica... 
Teres Owners - Please help

Is it worth purchasing the VPI 16.5?
.@ $ 275.00, I would buy a 16.5 in a hearbeat. Grab it before it is gone. You need a record cleaning machine and this is the best deal you will find..Rgds,Larry. 
Is it worth purchasing the VPI 16.5?
