Integrated or Receiver?
will62 One problem I am running into is trying to find a amp or receiver that will allow me to Biwire my 6 ohm Mirage OM 10's.  Every amp or receiver I've looked at can't handle the lower impedance except when the OM 10's are not Biwired.  M...

With your budget, I don't see any incentive to buy a used phono cartridge.

chakster ... the counterweight on the FR-64 you prefered over the Lustre 801 is also not on the same level as record. Actually all classic tonearms have their counterweight not on the same level as record. Do you think they are all bad for this re...

Class D is just Dandy!
erik_squires It is the notion that Class D switching speeds are the cause, and that someday they'll be fixed that irritates me. It's a type of prejudice not born in evidence.That sounds more like an opinion than a prejudice to me.
