| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. Had a SME IV and V on an Oracle MKIII back in the 80's.Never sounded great with any MC cartridge I tried.There are much better arms to buy. | |

| Magnepan needs your help Doesn't Magnepan have competent in house listeners, and years of experience to judge for themselves, what sounds good.Why ask for the opinion of the average audiophile at a dealers setup, which turned out to be useless with the 30.7 road trip?How ... | |

| PS Audio PowerPlant P20 better than pure direct AC I get during the night? I used an AC regenerator once, (PurePower,) and it always had warm up changes, because it really is an amp set to 60 Hz inside.Switched to a Chang LIghtSpeed line filter. and found that much superior. At $1300, not thousands.Dead silent, 3D, warm ... | |

| Audio Research D240 mkll vs Adcom GFA-555 I bought a D240 MKI and it had noise problems in all units!ARC gave a free update to D240 MKII that eliminated the noise issue, however the amp sounded bad for the first hour of warmup.Dumped the amp at a big loss.The ARC tube and tube/FET product... | |
