Pink Floyd The Wall--Which vinyl?
I would lean toward the Japanese, or either of the two Audiofeil mentioned over the reissue. BTW-spending $200 for vinyl is not common practice for me. I've bought many great sounding records for less than $10.00. I paid around $10.00 for the majo... 
Choices, turntable purchase choices?
Last time I checked, the Amadeus retailed for $2700. If you don't mind the fact there is no cue lever, I would urge you to consider it. I believe Don Better is an Ortofon and WT dealer. Perhaps he has tried your Ortofon on an Amadeus.No affiliatio... 
Pink Floyd The Wall--Which vinyl?
I have a Japanese Pressing that I bought @ A CES show in the mid 90's. It was purchased from Audiophile International, a record dealer from from CA. Serial # is 40AP1750-1. It is the CBS/Sony. I paid $200 for it, and although it may be expensive, ... 
R.I.P. Levon Helm
Was listening to some of the Ryman and Electric Dirt stuff on You Tube the other night. He definitely still had it,great stuff. Both are available on vinyl. Anyone hear if the vinyl pressings are well done. I believe they are different labels, Ram...

LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X
Countingbackwards- my reply from the other day mysteriously vanished, so I thought I would follow up. Perhaps something I wrote was not approved by the moderator. I did leave my e-mail address, so perhaps that's the reason. I would like to think n... 
Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w
Just FYI, Dynavector just came out w/ a new SUT. It is called the Sup-200, and retails for $2,650 US. 
LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X
Countingbackwards,Which Shindo preamp/amp combination did you hear? I am not questioning your opinion, but can't help be curious. I have little exposure to Leben, so I frankly could not make that call. Nice system, by the way. I have owned VTL amp... 
Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k?
Larry i certainly gave some well thought out choices. As a former owner of Parsifal Encore's, I can certainly agree with the Parsifal recommendations. Even though forgiving, the P/E's do allow the character of upstream components to be revealed. I... 
Starting a computer based system
Am tire-kicking the idea as well. A product called Halide was recommended to me by my dealer. It is in your general $ range, I believe under $600. 
LEBEN CS600 OR CS300X
"Bolero32, as I have said earlier, I am using devore silverbacks, which are the same 91 db, and my 15W integrated (shindo) isn't quite up for the job." I am sure whatever you were told by Shindo is a good recommendation. I just wanted to ad someth... 
Man in Black on Black
Thought I would chime back in, as I hit my regular record shop on a recent Montreal trip. It's called Aux 33 tours, and it is my favorite to date. I have been meaning to hit Academy Annex in Brooklyn, but didn't make it there last time. I did hit ... 
which turntable to buy for $1500 best value ?
Well Tempered Simplex may be worth a listen. I believe it may just slightly exceed your $ Range. 
Man in Black on Black
"Sundaze got f@#ked and had to find new pressing plant. Chad has almost a lock on that.... For now anyway" *Coffee 1-Hopefully this is a good thing! Not saying the Sundazed was bad. In fact, I recently spun the Butterfield Blues Band S/T on Sundaz...
