| Newbie help - suggested setup for best VIDEO perf. I did notice what I thought was a pretty significant degradation in pq. The dealer programmed the remote to still be able to do all the switching so I didn't lose that feature.I'm just learning there's more than one way to hook everything up, and ... | |
| Pioneer Elite vs. Pioneer "Standard" Kuro Plasmas I have a 5080 Kuro (non elite) and just ordered a 151FD last week. My ISF guy told me that if I could swing for the elite to get it over the non-elite. This was not as much the case when I bought the 5080 | |

| EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01 Will be receiving my X-01 limited today | |
| DartZeel phono section... Thanks. my IO has been heavily tube rolled and was a huge improvement over stock. Not real serious, but have been "away" from this hobby for quite some time. Visited the other day and saw all the talk on Dartzeel. Was curious about all the fuss. | |

| Aesthetix RCA Phase output question albert, you no longer like the 5692 in the IO? | |
| Amp for Verity Parsifal Wow, we have some similiarities. I also have Parsifal Encore's and had a VAC 70/70 sig. I also used to have a Graham arm and Accurate cart.! I had a few different preamps over the years (CAT, Lamm, and others). I had good sound but... you know thi... | |
| How good is the Koetsu Urushi cart? You may also want to consider the Dynavector XV-1S. A magical cart. top to bottom. | |
| Difference between SME20/2 and SME30/2 Tom,that's a tough question. It'll probably be one of those listening sessions where you put on a favorite song on many, many different albums instead of listening all the way thru one. |
