Best phono box for Rega P3-24TT/ Dynavector MC
I have a P3-24 with TTPSU and a Dynavector 20x2H. I home auditioned a dealer demo (fully broken in) DV P-75 and a (brand new) Moon 110LP. The Moon was better in every respect except for smoothness in the top end. It's more dynamic, has better soun...

Worst record ever?
Any record mastered from digital source. I put one on today I bought accidentally back in the 80s. Renaissance vocal music. Good artists, good label. Sounds like total crap. 
Match for Naim UnitQute under $3,000
I have a UnitiQute and am using it with a pair of Dynaudio Contour S1.4s, which I got with a pair of Stand4 for less than $3K. The Qute won't drive them to earth shattering volume but it is a great match in terms of sound quality and plays my jazz... 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Vince Guaraldi Trio, "Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus" 180 gram 45RPMThis is excellent. 
Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett
There is a lot of K. Jarrett I enjoy listening to, but there is also quite a bit I can't because of his annoying orgasmic vocalizations, or whatever you want to call it. Köln Concerts is certainly one of the great albums of all time, but I don't c... 
Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4
I already have plans to get a NAP200. The Naim UnitiQute is 30 WPC (and 45 @ 4 Ohms), not 50 WPC. Since we are talking about 4 ohm speakers, the Alpha 10P is closer to 150 WPC @ 4ohm.. The Alpha 10P sounds surprisingly good, although not quite as ... 
database program for music collection, finally
I'm cataloging my vinyl collection of some 3500+ jazz and classical albums. First of all, any software that only allows one artist per album is conceptually broken and unusable, IMHO. The only thing I found that does it right (but not entirely) is... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
I have a Naim UnitiQute and on the rare occasion I play a CD, I use an Arcam DV88 Plus (DVD player) as a transport. One of the reasons I got a UnitiQute instead of the NaimUniti is that I don't really need a CD player. I have ripped all my CDs to ... 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Muddy Waters "Folk Singer" on 200 gr vinyl. Sounds fantastic! 
Best sub for Dynaudio 1.3SE's
I recently auditioned a REL R218 with my Dynaudio Audience 52SEs. It sounded excellent and well matched. In the end I bought a pair of Contour S1.4s to use instead of my 52SE, and abandoned my plans to use a sub in that system (analog 2-channel mu... 
Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4
I ordered the Stand4 in black, but that color is backordered, so I have my dealers Stand2 on loan. The S1.4s are just sitting on top of them. I'll have to wait till my Stand4s come in to attach them more permanently.Now I have to decide which phon... 
Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4
Well, my S1.4s showed up this afternoon and I haven't stopped listening. They are ex-demos from Dynaudio US so they have been run in at least somewhat.Initial impressions are that they are a different league entirely than my 52SEs. Bigger sound, m... 
Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4
I am using a pair of 52SE with a Naim Uniti. I have a pair of S1.4s ordered and should be picking them up tomorrow. I'm looking forward to hearing them. After I've run them in for a few months, I'll A/B them with the 52SEs again. Later this year I...
