Brinkman Spyder review- anyone hear it?
I failed to mention there is a Spyder review in this months Stereophile. Sorry, that's what I was referring to when I mentioned review in my post. 
Daryls House - some great takes on familar songs
Check out some of the KT Tunstall songs w/ Daryl on his show. It' really great stuff, IMO. 
EMT JSD 5 or JSD 6?
Mountainpics, where are you located? There are several US dealers who have the higher end EMT's. I really enjoy the Tsd-15, especially with the A23 Homage SUT. Depending on your tonearm, perhaps certain models may be better than others. I would sh... 
EMT JSD 5 or JSD 6?
Acoustic Sounds lists only the Tsd-15, and TWO choices of JSD-6. One is Gold, and runs about $1K more. They do NOT list the JSD-5 at all. 
the most underrated 33 1/3 in history?
Agree with Raymonda on One Trick Pony. Great sounding LP IMO.

What's your latest album purchase?
Mofi- Let me know how the McCartney is. I heard these were well done. The S/T LP w/ the cherries cover sold out. 
Need recommendations.. Solo acoustic guitar CDs
Tony Rice and John Carlini have a real good one. I only do SEEEDEEE in the car, but it sounds pretty good on my Japanese CD player. Not solo but great stuff IMO.

Just caught this thread, and read with great interest. Kudos to all, especially the automobile/turntable analogy. Just wanted to comment, and perhaps revive this thread. 
Quicksilver V4 amps with KT150
I thought the JJ KT 88's sounded great in my V4's, both the RCA and balanced versions I owned. I bet EL34's would sound great in them too. My guess is each tube type may compliment a certain genre of music, so perhaps what you listen to most may b...

Harbeth speakers vs Audionote
Wellington Audio in Florida carry both. I have had a pair of AN-J's for a little while, but they did not work in the very small room I had them in. At that point, I sold off the (2nd) system they were in, but have kept the AN's. They have been sit...
