| Hi-End for Black Metal? 'Axis of perdition' is not that radical. John Cage is radical. This is b level horror film soundtrack. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I really want an Art Audio Vinyl Reference, it is what I would get and will get. I currently have an inexpensive Musical surroundings Phenomena stage. It is good, but not good enough. | |
| Tube-aholics Anonymous? The Naim gear is JUST PLAIN BORING, relentless, electronic sounding, and lifeless. No wonder you want some tubes!Other than that its fine. | |
