| Decware ZTPRE v2 Nice! I'm about 6 months out in the queue for both items. I'll check out the Atma-Sphere MP-3. Thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Decware ZTPRE v2 Thanks! Yes its overkill for the Altec's but I wanted an Amp that would give me more flexibility if I swap out the speakers in the future. | |
| Turntable advice Check out Skyfi audio they have VPI trade in similar to what you are looking for in excellent condition at almost half the cost. I saw it in person last week when I was picking up a Hana Red and it looks new. With the money you save, put it toward... | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change I hadn't touched my system for almost 10 years, but a bad decision led to blowing one of my tweeters. Rather than have it rebuilt I decided to upgrade the speakers to 1978 Altec Model 19s. Granted these were much better speakers than the Polk LSi ... | |

| Absolute Monster SAM Turntable Im interested in purchasing one as well but would like to run different Tonearms in the future. Any advice on the difficulty and where to get the arm boards? | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! Not everyone is lucky enough to have a wife (or partner) who will allow an audio system to be a centerpiece in their home, with the space and comfort to enjoy music. I think many of the reviewers mentioned could have a better space to listen to mu... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? Much of my system is vintage and couldn't be purchased retail today so I converted into today's dollars which comes out to around $50k. However, my cost was closer to $32k. Speakers - Altec Lansing Model 19 Mint (1978) - $5250 in today's dollars ... |
