Aerial Acoustics vs. Joseph Audio
I have only heard the Joseph Perspectives on YouTube where their [sic] is about half a dozen videos Jeff taped at the shows including RMAF and Axpona. Jeff did a good job recording and the speakers sound very good through my digital headphonesIs i... 
Linn LP12 vs. VPI Classic 1 and 3
But he's right about being [a] bloody wanker. :-) 
Need RCA repair
No, it's brain surgery. 
Can a $3K table be among the best out there?
Robert Greene, who reviewed both the WT Amadeus and the Rock for TAS, tends to review products with innovative, unusual engineering. I may be wrong, but I think those two turntables are the first analog source components he'd reviewed in a very lo... 
Help me emulate the best speakers I've heard
Probably not, but I still like the term for describing a certain desirable sonic quality.

Sunnyjim, what speakers will you be pairing this with? 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?

I have not heard the 30.1 but I plan to. Once I heard the little guys, I was instantly curious to hear the new, bigger ones. Pricey.I have Dunlavy SC-III.A, which is the final incarnation of the Aletha-Athena-Cantata series with the downward-firin...
