| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Hmm.Maybe i can be of help here. I have had virtually all the rare direct drive decks from japan.The very best, which is strange, is the broadcast Denon DN-308 with the DP-100 motor unit. Its a big beast and ultra rare but worth the hassle.The tec... | |
| Joule, Blue Circle, CAT SL1 Thanks Ray...i really appreciate your detailed answer.There is also a growing amount of chatter about the Audio Horizons TP2.0 preamp. I'm still trying to work out how much is hype (i'm a decent cynic!) however one of the buyers replaced his FS Pa... | |

| amps for Merlin VSM-MXE But do you think the ARS is as good as a full Joule or CAT system?Or 95%? I thought about the ARS too. | |
| amps for Merlin VSM-MXE Cheers Monk...yep it seems to be that the CAT and Joule amps are the preamplifiers of choice. Unless you go for Kondo?I never heard the Blue Circle equipment, its very rare in Europe and maybe difficult to find on the used market at 230V!But still... | |

| Zu Definition 1.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe Hi,My music is eclectic but i listen mostly to electronic, rock, jazz and vocals. Not so much classical.I just wondered after reading the 6moons review...it would be nice to drive the Zu's with flea power digital amps.I also read about the PMC AML... | |
