WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
I find it funny that so many of the Zu Cable speaker owners are criticizing the Wilson. Isn't it fun to be gunned for when you are at the top. Most Wilson owners do compare speakers prior to purchase. They have also probably owned several high end... 
Airtangent vs Kuzma airline
Having spoken w. Thomas Woschnick several times about the differences in tonearms I can state that he will mention what he likes & dislikes. He won't come out & say what is better. I chose the Schroder based on certain design aspects that ... 
Airtangent vs Kuzma airline
Karl-Heinz,What cartridge did you use w. the Davinci arm? I would love to know how it will compare to the Schroder and the Airtangent on the TW Acustic. It is rare to hear you sound so excited about an arm. It truly must be special. In what ways d... 
Phantom B44 vs The SME V Tone Arm
Pcosta,I never changed my internal cable but I did change the external cable. I used Harmonic Technology Crystal Silver Phono cables. It was a night & day difference. As they say, veils were lifted. Treble became very extended and bass solidif...

Larry,Now you got me salivating. That might not be a review, but it was very convincing. I have 2 more months to wait. 
EMM Lab CDSD transport motor resonating
Thom_yI get the pop as well & I have one of the newer units. NO problems though. 
What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
Would the answer to the best phono stage be a cartridge dependant answer or is it an absolute for "most" cartridges? 
Phantom B44 vs The SME V Tone Arm
No SME V comparison can be considered valid unless you consider upgrading the tonearm cable & the internal arm cable. Only then will you get the maximum quality from the tonearm. None of the comparisons done by MF had this modification done. T... 
What is your favorite speaker wood or veneer?
I love that B&W Tiger Eye on the 800s. Wow. I used to love Rosewood but it is too soft. How about someone using a burled Pecan. I have some furniture made of Pecan that I love. Never seen it in a speakers 
Airtangent vs Kuzma airline
Tubes108,I am using the Exprissimo The Lift to cue my arm at the end of the record. Very easy to setup & I love not getting up at the end of a record. You won't miss your cueing anymore on the airtangent.

Review: EMM Labs DAC6e Signature Edition DA converter
Mikelavigne,You have hit the nail on the head. I listen much more to vinyl. The update should balance things. It is a question when. My Schroder SQ in 2 months is coming as are new speakers. I love the EMM now but it was never as "involving" on CD...

Cmk,What is the Kuzma platter made of? I use both a clamp and an outer ring. The outer ring being the most significant improvement (but a pain in the sjs to use). The outer ring opens up the sound stage to let you hear into the image. I find it fu... 
Review: EMM Labs DAC6e Signature Edition DA converter
Oneobgyn,Thank you for the review. The upgrade is tempting. Between analogue and CD it is difficult to keep up. I would love to know if your characterizations apply to both SACD & CD. 
Living Voice Mystic Mat Experiences
I tried the Boston Audio Mat on a copper platter. The sound with vinyl direct on the platter was more dynamic and with more definition. The Boston Mat made everything sound bigger but more fuzzy. This is based on placing the mat on a copper platte...
