$4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS
I would love to see a review that lists characteristics of an amp (or any piece of equipment), instead of judging it as good or bad. Some amps do well in certain situations, and have certain strengths, but can't be strong in all areas. Some are "l... 
Low end TT vs. Hi end CD
Yep, sold the BAT, paid off some debt. Auctioned off the Wadia, buyer backed out after auction. Which was OK... I'm still trying to hold on to it.But I could get some extra cash AND get a sweet TT setup, along with a bunch of new records, by selli...

I think I can hear the PRAT through the internet.Seriously though, my old roommate wants to buy my Technics. Before I upgrade the table to non-DJ cartridge, I think I might just sell it to him, and look at a belt table. I just realized I have a co...

Zaikes, you said you think the 1200 is very convenient and easy to use. Are some of the other belt drive tables (i've been doing some reading the last couple nights) like LinnLP12, Basis 1400, Teres 135 (these were the recommended moderately price...

VTL Service ??
I've had good experience with VTL. Maybe because I bought new, I don't know. My VTL IT 85 is a really nice unit, and sounds great. Very well built, and very well thought out. For it's retail price of $2500, I still think it's a bargain. The unit h...

Speaker List
i have a pair of Martin Logan Aerius i in a room smaller than Hinde's, and they sound great. Plenty of space for them. Full range electrostats might be a different story, but worth a shot.As soon as I have a bigger listening room, I'll move to ful...

I don't have a lot of records... maybe 20. The majority of those are 12" dance records. I bought the Technics 1200 and the mixer so that I could learn how to mix, and because you can only find certain music on vinyl (how strange is that?)...I neve...
