| Help with cartridge selection Look into a Lyra Dorian. I heard one on a Scout w/ JMW 9 at Brooks Berdan's store a month ago and it sounded damn good. Granted, Brooks is famous for squeezing the best possible performance out an overall system, so there were probably several oth... | |

| Anyone tried the 29ga. 5n Pure Silver wire? Hi Chang,Thanks for the advice. I was pretty sceptical and unless there were a lot of people around here who had used these guys stuff with great results, I'll look elsewhere.Now that I have added vinyl to my system, I need to move my entire rack ... | |

| Acoustic Signature Final Tool & Origin Resolution Man, I wish I had posted that question here a montha go....I was looking very seriously at both those tables. A Canadian dealer who advertises here on Audiogon was dropping Acoustic Sig and blowing out his demo Final Tool & Mambo(w/ Kuzma Stog... | |
| Cartridge Man MM3 vs. ZYX R100 Fuji FS? Thanks for the responses everyone.I'm surprised that no one has directly compared these two since they fall somewhat into a similar price range and both have been getting rave reviews as "giant killers".Well, seeing how no one has offered a direct... | |

From their FAQ:Prior to modification the RB900 RB600 and RB300 are superior to the RB250 but after modification, the RB250 is slightly better than the modified RB900 RB600 and RB300. The main difference being that modified RB250 has more power and... | |
| 300B Speakers, Reynaud & Reference 3A I've driven my JMR wins with a Cary SEI-300B and it worked extremely well on most music. In fact, I'd say it was jaw dropping - rich midrange, airy highs, and deep articulated bass. The most amazing vocals and acousic instruments that I have ever ... | |

| Monarchy Amps 70/100's vs. Odyssey Stratos I've heard the Monarchy 70 Pro's and SE-100 Delux's, and they both are absolutely amazing. The 70 Pro's are one of the greatest values in all of audio, especially when they are run as monoblocks. They have the ability to reveal the smallest detail... | |
