| No 30.5 & 31.5. Still of reference quality ? Wether SACD or DVD-A will succeed or not is actually irrelevant, many of us have large collections of redbook CDs and PCM is the dominent format for the forseeable future. On a different note, I haven't heard any of the multiformat players/transpo... | |
| No 30.5 & 31.5. Still of reference quality ? These units are still reference level, both sonically and in build quality. We have been distributing CEC & Weiss digital for a number of years and I have personal experience with dCS & Levinson products for almost a decade. From this expe... | |
| Wilson WP7 vs JM Lab Alto BE vs Avalon Eidolon Shane,>>This does not make my alternative and pop music sound quite as forward as they should be<<If this is your music, you're going after the wrong speakers. To play pop music successfuly you need a very different system, otherwise y... | |
| Wilson X-1 series 1 vs Watt/Puppy 7 In reality there's no competition between the two, if you have the room and the expertise to set them up properly, the X-1s are unbeatable! Watt/Puppy 7s are very fine speakers too and even if they're not a match for the X-1 you will get better re... | |
| JBL Olmpus speaker system Gorg, the Olympus is a wonderful speaker and very well suited to classical music. Linnlp12 is correct about the amplification, you need a good triode SET to get the best from this speaker. Most push/pulls will sound too hot in the mids and solid s... | |
| Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas? Given the right electronics the Divas are hard to beat. I lived with mine for over ten years and through many upgrades. Like most panel speakers they need high current and high power to come to life properly but that's not to say that you can take... | |

| Lencoclean - Supertonic Playing wet lps is a major NO-NO. The surface noise that you describe is the result of playing your lps while wet. Unfortunately you have badly damaged your records with this Lencoclean system and no machine can fix them. The best thing you can do... | |
| ZYX cartridge and advice The SPU-85 and the Jubilee! | |
| ZYX cartridge and advice I have a Rosewood Signature from the early 90s and an R-1000 AIRY-X. The two are very different cartridges. The ZYX is an uncanny smooth operator, beautifully balanced and rich, its just a bit soft on attack. Its the kind of sound that you revel i... | |
| Classic Record RCA 45 rpm reissues - Which? Rushton,I'm curious to see if you found much difference between the 33s and the 45s of the same title. I own 16 CR reissues in 33 and about 4 or 5 in 45rpm, not of the same titles. On the whole I've found the quality very variable, from dead to ju... | |

| Is the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A compatible with MMF-7 Hammergjh, sonically there are plenty of things wrong with MMF, yes I realize its only a $1000, but $1000 dollars is still $1000 dollars. We're getting off the subject here, my initial comment was that spending the money on a fine cartridge like t... | |
| Is the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A compatible with MMF-7 Hammergjh, I was being kind calling the mmf7 basic, crap is what I really wanted to say. I wonder what you've been listening to if you call the mmf-7 fine and pretty good. But then again, to each his own! | |
| Is the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A compatible with MMF-7 >>However I also understand the idea that most people would probably not put a $600 cartridge on a $1000 TT.<<You already know the truth, your MMF-7 is a very basic turntable that anything above a $90 mm cartridge is a waste of money. ... |
