Ortofon/Dynavector ? cartridge characteristics
What phono stage? 
dynavector XX2MK2 set up question
That makes sense, Dan. Loading has to do with what may or may not be happening in the specific phono stage in use, so I would not expect to change loading if the amp is swapped out. This is also why is doesn't really do any good to compare what lo... 
DIY. Whose speakers would you use?
Tim, I made the same assumption. It seems, I think, that all the op wants to say is that all things being equal there is still a lot of work beyond the engineering. Well, yeah. Obviously. :-) This is true of all things audio, if the goal is better... 
DIY. Whose speakers would you use?
Tim, I know exactly who's comments to take seriously on this thread. One guy has already slapped the veneer on his "design" and completely glosses over the box his drivers will be in. It certainly won't be audiophile approved without a proper box.... 
DIY. Whose speakers would you use?
If I were seriously looking for a recommendation for a kit, Audiogon would not be where I would ask this question. Some of the posts on this thread are excellent examples of why I say this. A lot of opinions from some who probably don't know which... 
DIY. Whose speakers would you use?
Whao-up, Edge. You and I are both saying good kits, well engineered kits, are every bit as good. Some folk are trying to say that no matter what kit you get it won't be as good as an "audiophile" level speaker. It ain't me saying that. 
What does one purchase after owning horns?

What does one purchase after owning horns?
If someone said horns are better than everything else they are full of shit, right along with the attitude of Unsound and Weseixas. 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Yes, Weseixas. If, You and Unsound would just simply "pass" on threads concerning horns instead of trolling for arguments the rest of us could get on with what we like to discuss. We horn lovers get that you guys don't like horns. Myself, I don't ... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
When someone takes the position "I don't like it so neither can you", what do you say? Take your toys and play some place else? 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Ah, the other one slithers out from the rocks. 
DIY. Whose speakers would you use?
GR Research, not a doubt in my mind. Danny sells complete kits, or you can by pieces and do you own thing, and he seems to know very well what sounds good. He also designs drivers for his and other speaker vendors. 
new audiophile education
Ah, I get it. Not sure where to start? First, figure out your budget. Think about what music you are going to spend most of your time listening to. Think about what kind of sound do you like. Warm and fuzzy? Clean and clear as you can get? If you ...

Wait a minute! Dvdgreco, you've been around here since 2003. Is this a trick question? :-)
