| Linear Tracking Turntables The Yamaha PX-2, although even harder to find, would be the best of the bunch, IMO. It was heavier, and more beautifully made than the PX-3, with more a more sophisticated transport and controls for the arm.The Mitsubishi LT5-V was the vertical tu... | |
| Hall of Fame: BIGGEST BADDEST Monster Amps Whoaru99You make a reasonable point, but this brings to mind one of the creators of the "high end" industry, Harry Pearson aka HP of the Absolute Sound.When that magazine had more integrity than it has today, the "absolute sound" was the benchmark... | |

But further to my point, only ONE item, comes up on Ebay for the monitor you mention, and it seems to be the mounting bracket.TICI assumed videophiles had tuned into this concept, but for me "hugely popular" has not y... | |
| Restoration of Quads Vs Newer Models Thanks for info so far. Lacee, you are confirming my suspicions that the older speakers did have a magic quality that has not necessarily been replicated by later versions.I think I have seen a site or two on Audiogon for Quad restoration experts,... | |
