VPI Direct Drive Turntable
Well, I didn't say 30 times better, I said is it worth the extra $29k...It probably will, but I can't see how it would be worth the asking price per se.Anyway, this probably will be the most watched and criticized audio component in a long time. T... 
Great Rock & Roll speakers?
I'll go with JBL too, and maybe Klipsch. But JBL is better than Klipsch, imo. 
Elvis Presley's Albums - Recommendations needed
For latter day Elvis, (haha!) check out the 'Today' album which came out in 1975. It's actually a good album with good sound quality.

Well, $30k is not chump change anyway you slice it. Will this beat a $1k Technics SL-1200 with the same cartridge? Probably, but I'm willing to bet not worth the $29K difference!

Review: JBL Studio 530 Monitor
Yeah, I figured the 500 series was gonna be good. If the 530s are that spectacular, I wonder how the 590s are! And if you like the 530s that much, wait until you hear the Synthesis stuff! You probably will be bowled over! I'm lucky to have the S47... 
Luxman vs. Accuphase
Hi Paul,I have replied to your PM. Thanks.-Dave

Best Class A amp with SLAM
Well, it's not a bad idea to stick with what you know. If you're more comfortable with the Krells, so be it. 
JBL M2 speaker system ....
No problem. You're welcome. 
Belles 150A ref V2 vs Bryston 4BSST2
It's a solid workhorse amp. It does more good than harm. Is there better, yes of course, but pretty much more expensive. However, I feel the current retail price is a bit high for what the amp does. 
Luxman vs. Accuphase
Hi Paul, when will the E-600 be released? At CES? Also, have you heard anything about the A-65 being replaced by a new model? 
JBL M2 speaker system ....
Well, if I hear them at CES, I'll let you know... 
Accuphase A-65 or A-200 , can i import from Japan?
Who discounts that low? I called every damn Accuphase dealer in the US and the best price I could get was $18k from a dealer in So Cal.
