Raultime to get out of your comfort zone. I live in Australia and am not going to try and get your obsolete Velodyne subwoofer which is not available. Be practical and give some real advise on what to buy from current available product.cheers Shane

Dear Raul Why did you buy full range speakers if you don't use the bass drivers. You might as well bought a pair of monitors like Dgob. Now - What subs and configuration would you buy if you were myself?. nothing changes except the subs. There is ...

koetsu rosewood signature vs. Blue urushi
personally, I would go for a Koetsu over a Shilabe any day. the Shibale IMO just does not have enough action or get up and go. the koetsu is all music

Oh gentlemen Halcro can tell you, All the way in Aussieland, we have kangaroos and koala's everywhere - walking down the street, on our buses hitching for rides. If it was in USA, you guys would pull out you guns and blow them to Smithereens. Sli...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, sometimes you really are a tool. With respect, you respect no ones opinion unless they agree with you 100%. anyone reading this thread can see that. Anyway, that is the way you operate and at least you do it consistantly, so we know what to ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
However, in my set up at least, it did not bear comparison with the Technics Mk4. Once set up correctly, IMO, the Technics brings audio into a whole new place.Just can't help yourself can you Dgob, rubbing it in to all and sundry :-)It is an exce... 
Stand out phono stages
Gents, take my thoughts on the AMR with a grain of salt, as it still sounded good. I heard it in the store with unfamilar equipment(horns), however unfortunately you cannot hear everything at home. I did compare the AMR directly with the Air tight...
