| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns @lous I'm sorry to hear that your Sota/Souther/Benz analog front end caused LPs to sound less than good overall. My VPI TNTVI/SME IV modified/Benz Ruby3 on a Townsend Sink sounds fantastic. Most LPs are quiet to as quiet as a CD. Used LPs sound... | |

| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? The cleartop RCA 12AU7 was made in abundance. It was used in many electric organs in the 50's and 60's, often rebranded. Great tube for cheap price. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I prefer the Nakamichi 7A to the Dragon as do some other owners. It is mechancially more stable with no auto reverse and has manual azimuth adjustment. I've used mine for 30 years. Otherwise, sonically, I prefer the Tandberg cassette decks. Ex... | |

| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Is the Opus 3 and Proprius label CDs also in reverse polarity? I've got about a dozen of the LPs between them and their polarity sounds correct. Please let me know if I'm wrong. ThanksP.S. the early stereo recordings were generally recorded wi... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I’m using all tube preamp and amp gear, Class A/B. However, at several audio shows, I heard relatively decent Class D amps. One that stood out was from PranaFidelity. http://pranafidelity.com/index.php/reviews/ Using my CDs in an EAR player and hi... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I'm with you cd318 as I proposed the same concept for enjoying recorded music. geoffkait I wasn't referring to a person other than myself.

| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I experience holographic sound from many mono recordings. One does not require stereo, 2 channel sound to achieve 3D sound. My best mono recordings have great depth and open soundstage, including wall to wall sounds as the recording permits. W... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Lukaske - Have you listened to acoustic orchestral music, some big band jazz, piano, even electronica like Yello on your Ilumnia Magisters?

| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Furthermore, the acoustic treatments of the listening room are of paramount importance.
