Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
Yes- or for that matter Reed tonearms in general. Ease of use, sound, QC...? Thanks in advance! 
Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia?
I always enjoyed the Quicksilver V4's. At one pont I replaced them with a much more expensive tube amp. Perhaps synergy or lack thereof was involved, but I missed the V4's. I would think synergy with Wilson to be good. That is based on the tonal b... 
Plinth for Thorens TD124
Good for you. I have been very intrigued by the Idlers, after having heard the big Shindo tableĀ…. The analog guy at Fidelis in NH also knows a lot about Idlers. I believe he runs a 124 and a 301/401. I am also in the market, and have listened to b... 
MC suggestions for conrad-johnson Premier 15
I had the Prem 15 many years ago. It's a real nice unit. I ran a Koetsu RSP with .2mv, and it was not enough gain. I can't remember if it has an MM/MC inputs or MC only, but I think just MC. I would think a .5 or .6 mv cart would be pretty ideal. ... 
Turntable choice
In the $2500-$3000 range, the Amdeus (as Roscoeiii mentioned) should be a consideration. I have NOT heard the latest model w/ symetrex arm. Another interesting choice to me would be that little Kuzma pipe bomb table, I think it's called the Stogi.... 
A/V reciever advice
I'm thinking about Marantz for a bedroom setup. They appear to be a top selling brand, but I haven't done alot of research. Actually I just heard Denon bought Marantz.... 
Classic Records vs. Analogue Productions
Whart- So you have the ZEP 45 box set, or 180gr 33rpm's? If you don't mind my asking, are you comparing to early presses of Zep 1 and Zoso? I have a first US press Zoso, I will have to compare it to my Classic. I never found the Classics bright, n... 
SPU Gold Reference vs Silver Meister vs Synergy?
"I would look for better SUT for the SPU cartridges....It may be more $$$ but you will gain a lot....you may start with Patridge 7834 or Ortofon SPU T 1...."Did you mean Auditorium 23 T1 SUT? 
TONEARM for Tsd-15, and SPU's
Thanks. From their website, I pasted over the choicesbelow. Interesting that they list the older SME 3009R arms, and NOT the current M2 series. David, can you see the Tsd-15, and the Royal GM complimenting each other well. Too alike? I listen to a... 
SPU Gold Reference vs Silver Meister vs Synergy?
I recently spoke with someone who knows SPU's, and he summed up the following 3 SPU's this way:SPU 95thSYNERGYROYALHe said the SYNERGY had more of the classic (old school) sound while the 95 swayed toward the more modern sound relative to SPU's. T... 
Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s?
Mcslipp- have heard that combination, and thought it was great. Slightly preferred the Montrachet to the other Stereo amps. NICE (-: How do you like your LUX dac? I will be auditioning their turntable soon. It seems like Harbeth need to be lit up ... 
Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s?
"I was between Devore O'96's and the Harbeth 30.1. As I run an all Shindo front end I went with the O/96's as they are more efficient and John Devore uses Shindo (and others) to voice his speakers. It's an amazing combo for me. If i had a solid st... 
New Eva Cassidy 180 gr
I just obtained the answer, and it's a digital source. I may sell out for this one, because the music is so good. At least one (-: 
New Eva Cassidy 180 gr
Excellent point-was wondering myself. Checked the AS website, and there is a short write up on the BOX SET. It makes no mention if any digital was used. 
New Eva Cassidy 180 gr
Never heard that one. She was rather timid on stage, and liked performing with Chuck. I guess the big labels wanted her, but they couldn't pigeon hole her in to a genre. Plus she was more of a laid back, nothing fancy type girl. There's a document...
