| Review: Thorens TD 295 MK 4 Turntable The Goldring GR2 is a Rega P 2 clone. It is a very fine table and is upgradedable to further performance as time and budget dictates. In my opinion a far better choice than the Thorens TD 295 MK 4. | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... Sedond. The radio stations in this area are pure crap and the few NPR stations here are not of the music variety.As for XM it is a god send for me and have not had any sonic or operational issues with it. It comes in totally clear with great separ... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do Shadorne, thanks for the update on the Bob Woods Telarc google link. Called Bob Woods at Telarc, but he is on vaction till 7/19/06. So will make contact at that time.I wonder where the previous system is?? Got to find out.Now I've got to make a re... | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? A good choice for the Totem Rainmakers would be the Musical Fidelity A2. If you can find one,price should be in your comfort zone. Class A output 25 WRMS into 8 ohms and 50 into 4 ohms. Speakers you have are indeed 4 ohms.A2 also has a phono secti... | |
| Review: Project 1 Xpression Turntable Figure that any cartridge that is included with the sale of a turntable is a startup to get one going. Replace it with a cartridge of higher quality and keep the one that came with it as a back up. For what this table is quality wise I would not s... | |
| Review: Thorens TD 295 MK 4 Turntable Yes I listen to it extensively for several weeks and came to the conclusion that a old Dual 1219 has better sonics and build quality than this so called Thorens unit. I know I put a Dual 1219(circa 1970) I had recently received on trade and evalua... | |
| Review: DCM TimeWindow 1 Speaker If mine I would take to a quality cabinent shop and see what they recommend. More than likely there is some type of filler that can be used to stop the splintering. Also some of the guys at Home Depot or Lowes are good at coming up with ideas that... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do These systems and their speakers are not what one would call off the shelf brand name. In fact I do not remember seeing a brand name on any of the speaker drives and of course the cabinents were hand crafted one offs. But with that being said all ... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do This is the best answer I can give. After 8 years of owning a high end shop, I can only remember about one convert per year and that was long before MP3, I Pod and other portable mediums. For the most part high end or quality systems just do not a... | |

How could I have missed that!!!! yet again!!!But I degress, the thread is about showing off one system to a neo... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do No I am joking by any means whatsoever and at $600K is not even in the realm. I am talking mega bucks. People in this range of equipment have the resources to indulge as they please. When one gets into this range of gear and the ultimate validatio... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... Since this thread began in 1999, we have flogged this to death. In the 48 years of this hobby have had damn near every tuner through here tube or solid state.No other component you will add to a system is more dependent on an outside source than a... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do Well I've been in this hobby since 1957, seen a lot of systems in 48 years. I generally do not demo anything unless a guest wants to hear something. I let them pick out a selection and let them listen. Some are impressed while others are less so. ... | |

| Not wasting my time on new Digital I only wish Viridian was totally on target with his assesment. However the numbers do not support his views.Before CBS/Columbia made the hugh committment to jump into the then new CD technology, we formed focus groups in several parts of the count... |
