| Racks: Box Funriture vs Sistrum Contact Eugene Hi-Fi regarding Box Funiture. You might get a sales pitch but they were very passionate about the quality when I called. The cost was a little over my budget so I made a compromise and bought a Solid Tech Radius Duo 2 rack. | |
| What cartridge do I get now? With your tube based system and Spendor/Quad speakers an upper level Audio Technica cartridge will bring added speed/detail/engagement. Another plus is very little coloration is added. | |
| Starter System Suggestions For $2k that includes an int. amp and speakers your godson(or you) need to lower your standards/expectations. Currently the Gershman Sonogram retails for $5495(lol). For $2k or a little over that amount get a Magnepan MMG or used ATC 7/11 with a n... | |
| What is your DESERT ISLAND amp & speaker combo? The Professor to keep me alive and Mary Ann to keep me happy! | |
| Soundlab speakers The Soundlab A3 which I heard at Great Lakes Audio(E. Lansing MI)in 1988 still ranks as the best speaker i've heard! | |
| Voice In the Rain... Not normally a fan of "smooth jazz", but Joe Sample IMO is at the top of this genre. The 1979 release "Carmel" is not just a great fusion/pop jazz recording, it's a great jazz recording with excellent sound quality. Will check out "Voice in the Ra... | |
| Norah Jones I agree with most of the posts. I don't own any Norah Jones recordings but her first two recordings are worthy of purchasing. Regarding the haters most of us know she is not the talent of Sarah, Peggy, Anita or Ella. I'm sure some of you have reco... | |
| Turntable recommendation Rega-P9/RB1000-Compact and easy to set up. The RB1000 is good enough for many cartridge upgrades. Will hold it's resale value. | |
| Upgrade: Turntable or Cartridge? Upgrade your cartridge first. When your ready to upgrade your TT put the Clearaudio Ovation at the top of your list. | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? North Star Design-Sapphire. | |
| AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9 Jujuw1-I see this is your first post. Welcome to the club! After about 100 hours on the Rega P9 I would say overall i'm satisfied. I went with an AT-OC9 MK2 due to it's low cost and giant killer status. The giant killer status IMO is 1/2 true. It ... | |

| What speakers should I consider around $5000? If you consider Martin Logan you will need to buy the model(s) with a self powered woofer if accurate bass below 40hz is a must. A box speaker with a relatively small footprint and bass claimed to be accurate down to 30hz is the Gershman Acoustics... | |
| Luxman 505u vs. McIntosh 6300 I have heard both and was not impressed with either. The Luxman IMO is the better sounding amp but it is nothing special. I've read you need to move up to the 507 to get most of the Luxman house sound. The MAC 6300 is a very fragile sounding 100w/... |
