| VPI Traveler and Lyra Delos I don’t claim to be an expert but here is my view.I was using a Dynavector 10x5 on a VPI Scout and loved it. Got a better Phono stage loved it even more. Then got a great deal on a basically mint prime. I put the 10x5 on it and it didn’t even soun... | |
| turntables Heard the Rega 3 and have seen the Rega 6 in the flesh. The 3 sounded good. I could never wrap my head around spending that kind of money on that type of build quality. I know others disagree but I am not the only one. I don't think you will go wr... | |

| Has anyone heard System Audio Mantra Speakers? Honestly when you are looking at speakers the size of 5 and 10 you are not going to get deep bass. Generally speaking smaller speakers don't have low bass. For the size and money of the 50 you can find something with more bass. Will it be as good ... | |
