| VPI Classic Vs Basis 1400 or 2001 AEW...not a fair comparison because I compared the VPI Classic to the VPI Scout with the JMW 9 arm and there was no comparison there either. The Classic outperformed the Scout by a big margin. The Scout sounded slow, dark and thick compared to the... | |
| VPI Classic Vs Basis 1400 or 2001 Tzh21y...I auditioned the VPI Classic 1 and compared it to a mint traded-in Basis 2001 with Graham 2.2 tonearm at my dealer. We used the same cartridge to compare the two turntables (Benz Micro Glider SL) and ran it through a Nagra BPS phono. I li... | |

| Newbie Phono Preamp for Clearaudio Concept TT Which cartridge? Did you get the Clearaudio MC cartridge that comes packaged with the Clearaudio Concept? If no, which cart do you plan on using? | |
| Which MC for my setup? I have the Benz Micro Glider SL and I find it to be very neutral (not warm or bright) and musical. When I purchased it earlier this year it was still listing for $1,000 but I think the price has gone up a few hundred $ now. Here are a few reviews:... | |
| Amps and integrateds w/ similar sonic sig to MC275 I agree with Kbarkamian. Start with speaker selection first. That will determine what amp you will need (SS bruiser vs. moderately powered tube unit) and then chose accordingly within the Macintosh line. | |
| Amp for Thiel 2.2? Jerrycentral...congrats on the new amp. All that matters is that the amp works out for you and that you are happy with it. If it does, great, and if it does not, it sounds like you got a good enough price on it that you will not take much of a hit... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch Question yes...the squeezebox is able to stream media wirelessly. | |
| Amp for Thiel 2.2? Jerry...I have not so don't know much about the HCA-2. Good luck hunting and let us know what you end up with and how it works out. All the best. | |

| Tube Monoblocks w/- balanced inputs? Budget? | |
| Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers Not sure if he is underappreciated but I always thought Ian Paice (Deep Purple) was just amazing. | |
| Inexpensive All-In-One Solutions Define not willing to pay much. One option that comes to mind is the Oppo BDP-93. | |
| ARC REF 110 owners FF116...give it some more time to break-in but one of the issues could be the amp-speaker match. The WP-8's impedance dips below 4 ohms between 20 and 40 Hz and between 60 and what looks like 120-130Hz on the impedance curve, reaching a low of 2.2... | |
| ARC REF 110 owners Ff116...I have owned the Ref 110 for the past 4-5 years (paired up with Ref 3 and Ref CD7). If there is one strong suit of the Ref 110 is its natural and realistic reproduction of vocal and instrumental timbres. That's one of the main things that ... |
